Terkel is a platform focused on helping you gain extensive press coverage by allowing you to connect with publishers and journalists looking for insights. The aggregated answers are turned into an article with the best responses making the article's content. Terkel is best if you are looking for coverage story partnerships to help your site rank higher through link exchange. Terkel allows you up to five free answers a month, while the premium plan is $99.99. Terkel has a better user interface than Qwoted. On the other hand, Qwoted works best for journalists looking to collaborate with other journalists. Compared to Terkel, Qwoted allows you to reach out to journalists but is also a database for reporter contacts. The premium plan that starts at $149.99 also allows you to get direct questions from journalists on the platform depending on the expertise illustrated on your profile as you signed up. It only allows a maximum of three free answers per month.
Both Terkel and Qwoted provide free and paid subscriptions with packages in Terkel costing $99, $199 for the basic and advanced options, and $30 per additional seat after that. Qwoted has a free account that allows only three pitches per month, a Pro package for $149.99, and an Enterprise package of $1,250 per month. The advantages of Terkel include the consolidation of insights, the ability to build relationships with sources and journalists, allows oversight before publishing, and tracks where and when articles are used. Qwoted, on the other hand, allows journalists to mute conversations upon receiving enough ideas, sends media requests in real-time, and provides color-coding to indicate the pitch status. It offers insights into pitching angles and states who have already received pitches and any subsequent engagement. Though both offer value to clients, in my experience Terkel has the upper hand since articles are regulated by the platform, ensuring fairness.
Qwoted pricing: Pros - 1. The buyer is able to see a quote from the seller before they make their purchase. Cons - 1. Some buyers may feel that it takes longer and requires more work than Terkel as there are many steps involved with Qwoted such as negotiating prices or waiting until sellers reply back with quotes. Terkel Pricing: Pros - 1.

Con - 1. This type of platform does not allow negotiation, if someone doesn't find what they're looking for then they must go elsewhere.
