Connectively is the source-request platform that connects journalists and publishers with expert sources. Journalists and publishers post queries — questions they need expert insight on for an upcoming story — and you, as an expert, can respond directly with your answer. No pitching required.

Submit a response to a query that matches your expertise, and Connectively tracks that response through to publication.

Connectively offers a free tier and three paid subscription options:

A note on seats: A paid seat is tied to a single expert profile for the full 30-day billing period. If you're submitting insights on behalf of multiple clients or experts, you'll need a paid seat for each profile, or you can use pay-as-you-go credits to cover additional, one-off submissions instead of adding another seat.

Queries posted to Connectively are most often submitted directly to our platform from the requesting publisher or journalist. We also cross-post queries from HARO — the original, free source-request newsletter many PR and marketing professionals already know. HARO was acquired by our team in 2025, and still exists as a standalone free newsletter, but it also feeds opportunities into Connectively.

Connectively and Featured are separate products built for different parts of the PR process:

If you're only looking to respond to journalist queries as a source, Connectively covers that on its own. Featured is a different product for teams that also want an AI-powered co-pilot to support their PR and monitoring efforts.

Connectively opportunities do surface in Featured as active journalist requests for users who use both.

In short: Featured is the strategic engine, Connectively is where direct source submissions live, and HARO feeds opportunities into both.
