Distribb

Verified

Summary

Distribb is an SEO automation platform that researches buyer-intent keywords, writes long-form articles and publishes them to a connected CMS. It also runs a backlink exchange between member businesses and drafts link-outreach pitches, with an agent that carries out the work from plain-English requests.

Best for
SaaS founders, agencies, and developer-led growth teams who don't want to run SEO, content writing, link outreach, and AI-visibility tracking as four separate vendor relationships.
Not for
Buyers who need a named, auditable AI model behind their content, or anyone unwilling to commit to a 3-day free trial with a credit card. Teams that already own their social publishing stack will not get full value from the Accelerator plan's done-for-you YouTube, Instagram, Medium, and Quora distribution. Enterprises that need seven-plus AI engines, a fully custom contract, or SSO should look elsewhere.
From
$97/month$97 monthly · $58 billed annually
Free trial
Yes3-day free trial on both published plans ("3-day free trial. Cancel anytime."), with no separate free plan on the pricing cards. The API docs record a former Free Agentic plan as "deprecated and no longer offered to new users"; on those legacy accounts keyword research returns HTTP 402 until the user supplies their own DataForSEO or Ahrefs key, and suggestion regeneration is "Paid plans only (402 on free)".
