About Prezly
Prezly is PR CRM and newsroom software from Leuven, Belgium: contact management, personalised email pitching and campaigns, branded online newsrooms, and analytics that tie earned coverage back to the story it came from. Be clear about what the monitoring half is: coverage is logged by hand, imported from a third-party tracker, or picked up by an Opoint-powered add-on that watches online news across a claimed 235,000 sources in 150 languages, at €150/mo for the first tracker and €20/mo for each additional one, on top of the plan. There is no social listening, no sentiment, and no print or broadcast. Also no journalist discovery database: you bring your own contacts, a deliberate design choice that separates it from Prowly or Muck Rack. Pricing is published: Essential at €100/mo billed annually (1 user, 1 site, up to 5,000 contacts), Standard at €250/mo (2 users, 10,000 contacts, own sending domain, white-label sites, auto-translations), Enterprise on a custom quote. The trial runs 14 days without a card, and the developer story is genuinely good: full API, webhooks and open-source newsroom themes.
