How to get your startup featured on WP Newsify
TL;DR
WP Newsify is a blog that began with WordPress news and now publishes software comparisons, tutorials and tech how-tos, with several new posts a day (seven on 29 October 2026 alone). It has no guest post, advertising or sponsored post page, so the only official way in is a pitch through its contact form. It suits startups with a WordPress plugin, a theme, hosting or a SaaS tool that fits a "best tools" comparison.
What is WP Newsify?
WP Newsify describes itself as "Weekly News About WordPress", and the footer says it is operated by WebFactory Ltd. The category counts show where the writing goes today: Blog (1,806 posts), Plugins (157), Tutorials (154), WordPress (153), Premium Themes (41), Hosting (16) and Free Themes (13). Recent titles cover WooCommerce gift wrapping, AI tools for executive scheduling (Motion, Reclaim AI, ClickUp) and remote desktop alternatives (RustDesk, HopToDesk, DWService). Most posts carry the byline "Editorial Staff", and a few come from named writers.
The Press page collects mentions from 2016 to 2019, including interviews with Peter Nilsson about WP Newsify on Kinsta and Cloudways. The footer copyright still reads 2017 to 2021, while the RSS feed shows fresh posts every day.
Who should pitch WP Newsify?
- WordPress plugin, theme and hosting startups, which match the Plugins, Themes and Hosting categories.
- SaaS tools that fit comparison posts such as "best alternatives to X" or "X vs Y".
- Skip it for funding news, consumer apps or hardware: the categories have no place for startup or launch news.
How much does WP Newsify cost?
WP Newsify publishes no price list and has no advertise or write-for-us page; the address wpnewsify.com/write-for-us returns a 404 error. Freelance marketplaces such as PeoplePerHour list sellers who offer paid guest posts "on wpnewsify". Those sellers are resellers, and we could not confirm any deal with WP Newsify itself. Google's spam policies treat bought links without a rel="sponsored" or nofollow tag as link spam, so a paid placement through a middleman carries risk for your own site.
How do you pitch your startup to WP Newsify?
- Read the latest posts on WP Newsify and pick the category your product fits: Plugins, Tutorials, Hosting, Themes or the general Blog.
- Open the WP Newsify contact page. The form asks for first name, last name, email, subject and message, plus consent to store your data.
- Write a short pitch: what the product does, who it serves, the price, a free review account, and an angle that matches a format the blog already runs.
- Wait for an answer. WP Newsify gives no response time, so follow up once after two weeks and then move on.
Tips to get more out of WP Newsify
- Pitch a comparison. A headline like "Best Alternatives to Microsoft Remote Desktop: Comparing RustDesk, HopToDesk, and DWService" shows the format that gets published.
- Offer a free licence or a test account, so the writer can take real screenshots.
- Give a WordPress hook: a plugin on WordPress.org, WooCommerce support or a block editor feature.
- Mention a reader discount. WP Newsify runs an Exclusive Deals page, and an exclusive code gives the editors a reason to list you.
Our verdict
WP Newsify is alive and publishes every day, but it offers no official guest or sponsored post option, and the paid placements sold elsewhere are unverified. Pitch it only if your product fits WordPress or software comparisons; launch news belongs on startup media instead.
