Product Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Campaigns on Cruise Control" December 22, 2023 5.0 The main benefit is my productivity increase. I'm spending less time sending emails and more time actually building links. What used to take me half a week is now condensed into a couple of hours. Pros Respona gets me where I need to go on autopilot. The conent and contact search automations find link building opportunities for me. No fuss. I love how little input from me is needed to have a successful outreach campaign. Cons The system can take a while to run automations - especially with larger campaigns. But the benefit is that all searches are done in real-time, so the data is fresh. Not limited to any database. Switched from [Pitchbox](https://www.capterra.com/p/150174/Pitchbox/) Pitchbox felt like a Web 2000's tool, whereas Respona is more sophisticated, user friendly, and AI-driven. Review Source MC Matthew C. Associate Director, SEO Outreach Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome tool for running outreach and link building campaigns" March 5, 2025 5.0 Pros I love how Respona streamlines our entire outreach workflow. It saves a ton of effort by combining accurate prospect discovery, automatic follow ups, and verified contacts all under one tool. The interface is super intuitive to use, which makes my job so much easier, and the quality of the contact details consistently impresses me. Cons At first I was worried the credit system might get expensive. But honestly, after using it regularly, I realized the credits are pretty reasonably priced, especially compared to the excellent data quality and accuracy we get. The cost is comparable to other top tools we've used. One thing worth clarifying: Respona does offer an unlimited agency plan for email sending, but that doesn't apply to the credits themselves, which confused me a bit initially. Switched from [Hunter](https://www.capterra.com/p/161625/Hunter/) We could have more users and more email accounts Review Source FL Freya L. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Used software for years- had my account hacked twice and was charged without consent as a thank you" December 7, 2024 1.0 They have since reached out to me and tried to resolve the issue by providing the remaining refund, so I appreciate that customer support tried to resolve the issue in the end. Pros Absolutelty nothing. Since leaving, I have realized they are pretty over priced compared to alternatives and their "support" left a bad taste in my mouth. I have never seen a business behave like this and take 0 accountability. Cons To start my account was hacked and $495 was debited by the hacker. I was the one who told them I think my account was hacked because the usage did not match. I don't think I ever received an apology. Their brilliant solution was to enable 2-factor authentication. When I asked how to do that, they told me I had to upgrade my plan because only the next tier can use two-factor authentication- I obviously did not want to upgrade so they could have basic security for user accounts. I was then hacked the next day again and charged $10- 28 times ($280) and a charge of $775- again their excellent security is what you want to be using with your financial details. This was a total of $1550. They did refund this amount to me. I asked for all my financial details to be deleted, and very coincidently, they could not be without my entire account being deleted. After all of that, I started going through my billing records and realized I had been charged $49 extra without consent from March of this year to September of this year. I did not track this software charge since I had been using them for so many years among multiple software companies I have to pay for. My big mistake was trusting them in any capacity. I asked them to refund that and I have a feeling because they knew they charged me the extra a long enough time ago, they did not bother refunding it and instead strung me along. I asked for proof of any update I was given that the charge would be increased or any consent of mine that I gave to increase the charge, and they did not have anything to give me. I asked for this on Nov 15. Eventually, I asked for my account to be deleted because I did not want any data to exist with them. I followed up today, Dec 7, and they said that "I mentioned I would handle it with my bank (I told my bank to monitor all charges and not let any go through if possible) and that I deleted my account so they could no longer "investigate"--- which I assume means investigate what excuse to manufacture next as to why they charge people without consent. I have attached a PDF of pretty much all my charges here including some of the chat "support" I had the pleasure of receiving: \[sensitive content hidden\] Basically go anywhere else if you value basic security and honesty.

SEO Account Coordinator Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic outreach tool that made our lives easier" March 10, 2025 5.0 Before Respona, our team spent hours manually prospecting contacts and managing responses. Now, our process is way smoother and faster overall. This lets us focus more on strategy and drive better backlink quality and SEO performance for our clients. Pros Respona has completely changed our team's outreach workflow. The combination of prospect research, accurate contact info, and automated follow ups lets us quickly scale our outreach campaigns. I'm always impressed with how simple it is to run large scale campaigns with personalized messaging. Cons One small issue I noticed is that once you've launched a campaign, you can't edit the email templates directly. If I spot a typo or minor issue later, I need to pause the current campaign, duplicate it, then relaunch. It's definitely not a major concern, but having the flexibility to fix an email on-the-go would save a bit of hassle. Review Source NW Nushca W. Executive Assistant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great tool for busy people" June 17, 2025 4.0 Overall I would say it is an amazing tool. Obviously we have not had an ROI on it as yet. I am still getting more success with manual outreaches, but we will keep on testing. Pros I LOVE that everything is automated. Most of the think-work has already been done for you. Processes, fields, leads templates, everything is there already! Cons Not too sure if it is a fault on my end, but the campaign outreach is running very slow. I also understand that monetisation is important to keep the platform up, but the credits get used up very quickly. Review Source HR Hannah R. SEO Outreach Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great platform for running outreach" March 5, 2025 5.0 Since switching Respona, we’ve stopped time consuming manual tasks that slowed our entire process down. Efficiency gains are clear and we consistently see stronger client backlink results. Pros The strong personalization capability while still being automated enough for scale is impressive. Good UI design makes it easy to master and manage complex outreach workflows. Cons A few minor UI quirks, nothing major, but smoothing these out would enhance user experience further.

They automate and save so much time. Pros It's easy to use, and has some great features that really speed up link building and their guides are vert helpful Cons No Cons, I was happy with the software so far and will continue to use it.

February 27, 2025 5.0 Respona makes link-building and outreach so much easier with its automation and personalization. Pros Use to use, great automatization and personalization. Cons We spend a lot of credits on our campaigns. Review Source AC Ava C. Account Coordinator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Can't imagine our workflow without it" March 12, 2025 5.0 Respona took away all uncertainty around outreach. Investing in contacts that actually respond has improved our campaign ROI greatly for our clients. Pros Prospecting contacts and verifying emails is very easy and reliable. It makes large-scale personalized outreach possible without the headaches we had previously. Cons Sometimes navigation feels slightly unintuitive. I’ve clicked around a bit more than necessary at first. Improved UI labeling and flow could help there. Review Source AH Andi H.

With Respona's streamlined approach, I can now efficiently reach out to potential prospects and clients, sending over 300 emails a day with ease.

Its reporting system is another feature that makes my life easier. Real-time metrics allow me to refine strategies swiftly, ensuring my efforts are always optimized for the best engagement. Cons The interface, although clean, could use some more intuitive elements for beginners. A quick-start guide upon first login would be a great addition. Review Source XJ Xavier J. SEO Outreach Account Coordinator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Respona is a game changer" March 1, 2024 5.0 It removes the grunt work of finding the right people and personalizing individual emails. With Respona I'm connecting with bloggers and building quality links without burning out. It's like having an extra couple of hours in my day that I can spend on other stuff—priceless. Pros The workflow is fully streamlined and perfect for finding and reaching out to link-building prospects. It's also quite automated and lets me personalize campaigns at scale with minimal time investments. Plus, their analytics give me a clear snapshot of what's working, so I can tweak and repeat. Love the automated search engine as well - it saves a ton of time by running multiple queries at the same time and pulling relevant results for you. Cons Honestly, it's tough to point out flaws when the tool ticks so many boxes. It may be a bit overwhelming for new users, but once you're over that small hump, it's smooth sailing.

I also love how Respona is integrated with Moz and can pull backlinks even if you don't have access to Arhefs, Semrush, etc. Cons I wish Respona gave you the address of a blacklist in its email health report rather than just its IP, so I don't have to search manually.
