A simpler Pitchbox alternative, billed monthly
Linkade finds the sites, writes every first email and sends them for you. No contract, no demo and no team to staff.
No card needed.
Less to set up, nobody to staff
Monthly, with no contract
Linkade bills monthly and you can cancel any time, so you're never waiting out a term. Every Pitchbox plan needs a one-year commitment, even when you pay monthly, and its free trials come after a demo.
No filters to tune
Linkade judges each site on its metrics and fit, and turns down competitors, sites that have stopped publishing and sites outside your market on its own. Pitchbox gives your team more than 20 ways to prospect, with metric filters to set and a person to approve each site.
A mailbox you don't warm up yourself
Linkade registers a sending domain, sets up the mailbox and warms it up before the first pitch, so your own domain never sends one. In Pitchbox, you connect your own mailboxes and warm them up yourself, and rotating between them starts on its second plan.
Nobody to staff
Linkade finds the sites, writes the first emails and sends the follow-ups. What's left is yours: approving emails if you want to, and writing back to editors. Pitchbox splits outreach into roles for a team that runs it every day.

Pick Pitchbox if a team of several people runs outreach every day and wants AI to answer replies.
Before your team moves to Linkade
Do I need to connect my SEO tools?
No. Linkade does its own research from your domain, through competitor backlinks, search results and web research. There are no Ahrefs or Semrush accounts to link.
Do I have to write templates?
No. Linkade writes each first email from scratch for its site, and holds back any offer until the editor replies. Pitchbox's AI adds personal lines to templates your team writes.
Can Linkade handle client work for an agency?
Yes. On Linkade's larger plans, each client gets a setup of its own, with a separate sender domain and mailbox, so client campaigns never mix.
How long until Linkade is running?
About 5 minutes to see your sites. Linkade then sets up the sending domain and mailbox itself, and gives the mailbox three weeks of warm-up before it sends anything.

Time it to your term
Start about a month before your term ends, so Linkade's mailbox is ready when it does. If you cancel early, Pitchbox keeps your access to the end of the contract.
