The definition

Outreach software that speaks link building.

What is Pink Post? Pink Post is a cold email outreach tool built for blogger outreach and link building. It sends personalised multi-step email sequences from your own mailboxes (any SMTP/IMAP provider or Gmail), stops automatically when someone replies, collects every reply in one inbox, and tracks each deal through to a live backlink. It is free for all users until October 31, 2026.

Generic cold email tools are built for sales. Pink Post is built for the way outreach actually works for bloggers and SEOs: pitching editors, negotiating a placement fee, and making sure the link you paid for is still there next month.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is Pink Post really free?

Yes. Every feature is free for all users until October 31, 2026. Pricing after that has not been announced yet; we will announce it on the pricing page before anything changes, and you can export all your data at any time.

Will my emails land in spam?

Nobody can promise inbox placement, but Pink Post gives you the tools that matter: warm-up ramp, daily and hourly limits, random delays, send windows, plain-text emails with tracking off by default, a DNS checker for SPF, DKIM and DMARC, and automatic pause on high bounce rates.

Which email providers work?

Any provider that offers SMTP and IMAP, such as Gmail and Google Workspace (app password or OAuth), Zoho, Hostinger, Outlook and most hosting mailboxes. You can also send through a relay like Brevo with your own SMTP key.

Do I need technical skills?

No. If you can copy a DNS record and paste an SMTP password you can use Pink Post. Our step-by-step guides walk through every screen.

How is this different from Respona or Instantly?

Respona is now a done-for-you service that sells link placements per result (from $100 per link as of October 2026). Instantly is cold email software for sales (from $47/mo). Pink Post is outreach software you run yourself for blogger and link-building pitches, with your own mailboxes and relay key, and it is free until October 31, 2026.

Is my data safe?

Your prospect lists are never shared or pooled. Stored passwords and API keys are encrypted at rest, and you can export or delete your data whenever you want.

Free until October 31, 2026
