Here's the current landscape — HARO itself shut down in December 2024 under Cision/Connectively, then Featured.com acquired the HARO brand in April 2025 and relaunched it as a free email newsletter with three daily digests, so it's actually back in some form. Beyond that, several alternatives have filled the gap: Hey Qwoted is generally considered the closest to old-school HARO. The free tier gives two pitches per month with a two-hour delay before new requests are visible, while paid users see queries the moment they're posted. Qwoted has the highest concentration of DR 80+ publications, so it's worth it if you want shots at major outlets — useful if you're hoping to land in something like Architectural Digest or a major real estate outlet.
