The HARO alternative
The free HARO alternative for modern PR.
HARO shut down and Connectively followed — leaving brands without a simple way to answer journalist queries. Glyph brings back the best part: a real-time feed of reporters, podcasters, and newsletter writers looking for sources, plus a curated directory so you can pitch directly too — free while we're in beta.

Why switch to Glyph
Earn coverage by being the source — for free
The HARO model, modernized
Journalists post what they're working on, and you respond as a source. It's the part of HARO people actually miss — without the inbox flood or the surprise paywall.
Inbound and outbound in one place
Answer source requests when they fit, and pitch reporters directly when you have news. Most tools do one or the other — Glyph does both.
Relevant, not random
A curated directory of tech, AI, and crypto journalists, podcasters, and newsletter writers means the queries and contacts you see actually relate to your space.
Free to start
No annual contract, no minimum spend, no sales call. Sign up, watch the feed, and respond to your first query in minutes.
HARO alternative questions, answered
What happened to HARO?
HARO (Help a Reporter Out) was retired and folded into Cision's Connectively, which then also wound down — leaving brands and experts without the simple free query service they relied on for earned coverage.
Is Glyph a free HARO alternative?
Yes. Glyph is free to start and brings back the core HARO experience: a real-time feed of journalists looking for sources that you can respond to, plus a curated directory for pitching reporters directly.
How is Glyph different from Qwoted or other query services?
Most query services only handle inbound source requests. Glyph combines a media query feed with a curated, beat-verified directory and direct pitching — and it's focused on tech, AI, and crypto rather than general business.
Do queries cover podcasters and newsletters too?
Yes. Beyond traditional reporters, Glyph's feed and directory include podcasters and newsletter writers, so you can earn coverage across formats.
Do I need a contract to use Glyph?
No. Glyph is free to start with no annual contract, no minimum spend, and no sales call — sign up and start responding to queries in minutes.
