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. ______________________________________________________ Thanks for your patience. It looks like our system issued a temporary auto-disablement on this account due to the usage of a general email address. To promote adherence to our Community Guidelines, we do not allow generic/general addresses like info**********.** to be associated with Qwoted accounts. ​ Can you please provide a personalized email address from the domain @********.** (i.e *****@*******.**) to help us complete our verification process and get the account reenabled? ​ Micaela • 1h ago Here si my email: ******@******.*** Andy • 1h ago would this one work? Please update it accordingly Andy • 1h ago Thanks for sending that over! We also just need a few more details to move forward. ​ Since every account on Qwoted is individually vetted and approved, our system temporarily disabled your account due to the requirement of additional information to complete our verification process.

I'll pass this over to the team for approval and get back to you ASAP.

Their customer support is absolutely third-class — they can't even explain why my account was disabled. Out of 7 pitches I submitted, 5 were accepted, yet they’re claiming someone gave negative feedback without providing any real details.

Qwoted is hands down one of the most unprofessional platforms I’ve ever dealt with. After months of using it properly, they randomly terminated my account with a vague, robotic message blaming “negative feedback” without giving a single concrete reason. No warning, no discussion, no accountability. They clearly don’t care about building real relationships or giving people a fair chance. Instead, they hide behind generic emails and make decisions based on who knows what—cliques, internal bias, or just laziness. If this is how they treat users, I’d hate to see how they treat media partners behind the scenes. Do yourself a favor and use a platform that actually respects experts and contributors. Qwoted talks a big game but can't even manage basic professionalism. Total waste of time.

Great concept but doesn't quite hit the mark so we cancelled our subscription today. The unnecessary barrier between journalist and agency / brand makes life difficult. If your account is flagged (which happens regularly), you have to book in a call with the Founder and be scolded in order to get reactivated. Quite a faff and very uncomfortable. During the last call, we were told we were a small customer and they wouldn't care about losing us. There is also a public grading of your agency - which feels draconian. It's interesting that the top 100 are all from the same agencies (and some claim just a 3% win rate). Subscriptions for agencies are $700/month (which is at the higher end of other PR software out there). There are better and cheaper alternatives. UPDATE: 5 days after I left this review, there was flurry of positive reviews. Curious, I noticed that Qwoted posted the following on their website: "Earn a Free Pitch Credit by Reviewing Qwoted Starting August 21, 2023, free users on Qwoted can earn a free Pitch Credit* by leaving an honest review of our network on one of our partner sites: Google TrustPilot G2 CrowdReviews To redeem your free Pitch Credit, take a screenshot of your review and email it to bryanATqwoted.co from the email address associated with your Qwoted account.

Not a trustworthy employer

They banned my account for no reason. They treat the journalists as lords and reporters are nothing to them. I have spent at least 80 hours in their system. And then they banned me for no reason. Frustration, confusion and a sense of injustice - that's all I got.
