Should I use Prezly?

PR CRM and newsroom software for teams that pitch and publish stories regularly - prezly.com

· 1 month ago

Buy if you run PR continuously — media outreach, a newsroom, and releases every month. Skip it for occasional announcements; a newswire or plain email list costs far less.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~25 public sources. Review snippets were truncated, so user quotes are partial.

Best for

  • In-house PR and comms teams
  • Boutique PR agencies
  • Brands running their own newsroom
  • Teams pitching journalists every month

Not for

  • Teams sending one or two releases a year — use a newswire instead
  • Solo founders building a contact list — a spreadsheet does it free
  • Enterprises needing deep media monitoring and analytics — look at Meltwater-class tools
  • Anyone expecting a free plan — there isn't one

Gotchas - check before you buy

Essential is €100/mo, Standard €250/mo — only worth it if you pitch monthly
