Respona has moved to a managed, pay-per-placement model — you buy results, and their team does the work. Orkap is software you operate yourself, organized around your products. If you want to own the relationships, the inbox, and the data, the two are not the same purchase.

Short answer
Orkap is software you run; Respona is now a done-for-you service. Respona charges roughly $100 per placement and delivers results for you. Orkap gives every product you sell its own inbox, pipeline, templates, and follow-ups for a flat $79 per month — and you keep the relationships and the data.
Respona built its reputation as link-building outreach software for SEO teams. It has since shifted toward a managed, results-based model priced per placement — closer to an agency retainer than a tool you log into every day.
That changes the question entirely. With Respona you are buying an outcome. With Orkap you are building an asset: every product you sell gets a persistent @loop.orkap.com alias, its own pipeline, its own templates, and a partnership history that stays yours.
“Respona sells you placements. Orkap gives you a place to put every relationship.”

If you sell eight products and want ongoing partnership conversations for each, a results-based fee per placement scales with every single win. Orkap Maker is $79/mo flat for 3 products and Studio is $149/mo for 10 — your cost tracks your portfolio, not your success.
When a newsletter emails asking to feature your Figma kit, that conversation needs somewhere to live — attached to that product, with its templates and history. A managed placement service has no per-product inbox for the inbound you already receive.
Partnerships compound. The blogger who covered your plugin this year is the one who covers your next launch. Orkap keeps every contact, thread, and deal in a workspace you own, scoped to the product it belongs to — not inside a vendor's service layer.
Placement-focused outreach optimizes for the published mention. Multi-product operators need affiliate conversations, sponsorships, integration partners, and reseller threads managed per SKU — a different job with a different data model.

Respona is good at what it does, and a managed model genuinely suits some teams. Orkap does not do prospect discovery, and it will not run your outreach for you. If those are the jobs you're hiring for, Respona is the honest recommendation.
Respona is the right choice if:
What multi-product operators ask before deciding.
Only partly. Respona now sells managed, pay-per-placement outreach — you buy an outcome. Orkap is software you run yourself, where each product you sell gets its own inbox, pipeline, templates, and follow-ups. If you want to own the workflow and the relationships rather than outsource them, Orkap is the alternative.
Respona is results-based at roughly $100 per placement, so ten placements is around $1,000. Orkap is a flat subscription: $79/mo for 3 products, $149/mo for 10, and $299/mo for unlimited, with no per-placement fee. Competitor prices are directional and may change; verify on the vendor's site.
No. Respona includes prospect discovery and contact sourcing, and that is a genuine strength. Orkap does not. You bring or import your contacts, and Orkap organizes every conversation, pipeline, and follow-up around the product it belongs to.
Yes, and that is the core use case. Each product gets its own inbound @loop.orkap.com alias, so a sponsorship request for your Notion template never lands in the same inbox as an affiliate question about your WordPress plugin. Managed placement services have no equivalent.
Orkap is free forever for one product, so there's no cost to organizing it. But the payoff compounds with portfolio size — the pain Orkap removes is products colliding in one shared inbox. With a single product, that pain is smaller.
