Qwoted Anmeldelser 

I have been an active expert source on Qwoted for over a year, successfully contributing to major outlets like Forbes, BBC, and Travel+Leisure. My experience recently turned into a total lack of professional transparency.

I realized something was wrong when my regular email notifications for relevant media requests suddenly stopped in December. When I tried to log in at the start of January to investigate, I discovered my account had been disabled without any prior warning or explanation.

The lack of support is systemic:

Complete Silence: I sent multiple inquiries to their support team and my assigned Success Manager over the last three weeks. Every single email went unanswered.

Failed Live Chat: I attempted to resolve this via live chat today. The agent used an incorrect script claiming I was a duplicate user. When I explained that I have been a loyal user for over a year, the agent simply abandoned the conversation.

It seems I am not alone in this experience. Other recent reviews from users like Svetlana and Ehlana confirm a pattern of Qwoted blocking relevant, high-quality contributors with zero explanation or customer service.

If Qwoted is purging accounts to prioritize paid users, they should at least have the professional courtesy to inform their long-term partners. Disabling a proven expert source without a word is not how you build a credible media network.

I am now moving my expertise to more reliable and transparent platforms like HARO, Featured.com (owns also HARO), and Sources of Sources (SOS). Do not waste your time here if you expect basic communication or professional respect.

EDIT (13 February):

Trustpilot contacted me stating that Qwoted requested additional details to recognize my review.

I confirm that I was an active user of Qwoted for over a year. If further verification is required, Qwoted can contact me directly using the information associated with my account.

I stand by my review, which reflects my personal experience.

UPDATE (14 February 2026):

Trustpilot has contacted me again requesting additional verification details to confirm my experience with Qwoted. Here are the requested details:

Account email: provided privately via verification form
Account created: March 2024
Last successful login: December 2025
Success Manager: Shelby Bridges

Interestingly, my Success Manager Shelby Bridges viewed both my company profile (World Travel Index) and my LinkedIn profile immediately after I posted this review - proving that Qwoted is fully aware of who I am and can easily verify my account. Yet despite this, I still have received zero communication regarding why my account was disabled.

Qwoted has complete access to my account history and can verify all details at any time.

EDIT (18 February 2026) - Response to Qwoted's Reply:

Thank you for finally responding after weeks of silence.

However, your explanation raises serious questions:

1. "Inconsistent login patterns across time zones" - I am a travel industry expert who was traveling internationally throughout 2025 - which is literally my area of expertise that I pitched to journalists. Are you seriously flagging a travel expert for logging in from different countries while traveling? That's not suspicious activity - that's proof of my credentials. International travel is part of my professional work. This explanation makes no sense for someone in the travel industry.

2. "AI-generated content" - This claim is particularly puzzling. Qwoted has integrated third-party AI detection tools (GPTZero until Q3 2025, then Pangram) that automatically check all pitches before submission. Every single one of my pitches passed with 0% AI detection and was flagged as human-written. My contributions were published in Forbes, BBC, and Travel+Leisure - outlets with rigorous editorial standards. Are you suggesting these publications ran AI content?

3. "Spam or off-topic" - Major international publications found my travel industry expertise relevant enough to quote. How is that spam?

The core issue remains unchanged: You disabled my account without warning, ignored weeks of inquiries, and only responded after a public review. Your Success Manager Shelby Bridges viewed my LinkedIn profile after this review, confirming you knew exactly who I was - yet chose not to communicate directly.

If there was a legitimate concern, basic professional courtesy would have been to reach out before disabling the account of a proven contributor to top-tier outlets.

I wrote around 4 pitches that were highly relevant, specifically requests for products for Valentines' day. Then I decided to pay for a year. Tried to do another relevant pitch on the same day and discovered that my account is blocked due to "negative feedback". What feedback? All I did was send descriptions with links to relevant products, as was requested. No explanation what I did wrong, just a letter with a refund and recommendation to turn to free resources. Thanks, I will. How are we supposed to know what we did wrong or how we abused the system? On the plus side, they are not money grabbers considering the refund, which I am supposedly getting soon. But overall, it was a very bad experience. I was ONLY replying to relevant requests. I am no spammer. If you guys have such high standards for pitchers in your elite club, you should live up to these standards by at the very least explaining what they are.

I've just been trying to sign up to Qwoted to see if it's a good fit for my clients and I've been denied with no explanation at all, no response from the customer service team on the chat and have been ignored on email for over a week. Don't really understand to be honest.

Bit difficult to connect your journalists with vetted sources if you don’t bother vetting them

Excellent support (thank you Therese ), one of the best HARO like sites out there

This is a great tool to supplement HARO and cold pitches. Great journalists and publications.

I used Qwoted for years through a PR agency and decided to sign up again today (10/16/25). To my surprise, I immediately received an automated response saying my account was terminated due to "negative feedback" and that I wasn’t a good fit for the platform even though I haven’t used Qwoted in over two years. Extremely disappointing experience for a longtime user trying to reengage.

The platform has a very large number of posts from journalists and publications seeking quotes from experts and it is quite easy to use. I am on the free plan and so can't speak to the paid experience, but what I see is impressive.

I just signed up for Qwoted, and so far, I’m impressed! The platform is easy to navigate, and I love how quickly I can connect with journalists looking for experts. I’ve only been on for a short time, so I’m still figuring out the best way to use it, but the opportunities seem relevant.

That said, some of the matches haven’t been super specific to my niche, and a few features are behind a paywall. Still, I think it’s worth giving it a shot if you're looking for media exposure!

Great experience! Best service to connect to journalists.

Not a good experience with this company. I signed and paid, but couldn't do anything. I sent emails to their support - Maegan Hinolan sent me one message.. and then that was it. She ignored all other emails from me. So they took my money, no refund, no access, no email back to explain what happened. Luckily I paid by credit card, so have to put in a claim. I can see from other reviews that this happened to others.

Not a good company to deal with.

Basically they disabled my account 2 days after i bought the premium subscription. I messaged support multiple times over 2 days, as i had already put in a lot of work to write up responses. I hired a contractor to help me find pitches and spent money on that too. Only to not be able to quote someone after spening 30min writing a pitch, then being locked out of my account. I sent them a refund request and they refunded my account with no explanation of what happened and the inconvinence caused.

Qwoted is an excellent source for press leads. The press needs experts, and we need them! Qwoted makes it easy to reach the right people quickly. The service offers a number of ways to get leads and makes them easy to answer. I've had a lot of press coverage that would not have otherwise happened without Qwoted.

I’ve had a positive experience using Qwoted. As a creator and filmmaker, it’s a helpful platform to connect with media professionals and share expert insights. The setup was straightforward, and I appreciate the opportunity to pitch to journalists directly.

Dear Qwoted Management,

I just experienced somewhat shocking and very unplesant situation with your customer support.

First, after pitching for the very first post, the account was temporarily blocked due to "generic email" indicated during registration.

After that the support requested for information that was already added to the profile and could be reviewed by them, such as LinkedIn and credentials. After asking the support to review them, after just a few seconds I was informed that my account was permanently suspended!

Moreover, the reasoning was that my expertise was not fit for Qwoted!
If support reviewed my LinkedIn profile, thay would have seen that I hold a professional degrees and is a full member of several leading institutions in the field of my specialization.
I have special designations even in the LinkedIn name.
But the speed with which I received a response and a block (after just a few seconds) demonstrates that the support has never reviewed my profile!

I requested contacts of the management to accelerate this request, however, never received a response again.

Below I provide the full correspondence as a proof of the low professionalism of the support. I am really sorry for this situation.

Qwoted has been a critical piece of connecting with journalists and lend my expertise

I have been a long time user on Qwoted pretty much from the beginning. I received an account when I was writing for a website if memory serves me correctly. I have found it interesting and as a source, if you can make a valid point, you may likely be contacted by the journalist to provide further info or one day simply find that they have used your name. I do enjoy it and a small wish would be if you claim a pitch, you should be able to unclaim it. Apart from that, I am happy and do have a high rating on the platform/

Qwoted has been amazing resource, it has not only helped me connect with reputable journalists, but also helped me build relationships and identify trends.

My only small complaint is that occasionally bad actors sneak in with unmarked "paid opportunities" . I feel such listings should have a separate section.

With that said, if you are an expert source or a journalist you MUST use Qwoted!

I've had an excellent experience in reaching reputable reporters and news sources as a media commentator. Therefore, I highly recommend Qwoted as a valuable resource for reaching reporters on the latest news stories.

My clients have been very happy with their expertise being shared in important articles via Qwoted!
