What it is
PressPilot is a press release writing, distribution, and tracking platform for founders, PR agencies, and lean communications teams. Its site reports 46,701 verified journalist contacts across 78 countries; users can filter contacts by beat, outlet type, geography, or engagement history. AI writing can generate releases in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, using five credits per release. A campaign dashboard tracks opens, clicks, and replies in real time, with CSV or PDF report export. Each account includes a branded online newsroom hosted on the user's domain, with release archives and media embeds. Listed connections include HubSpot on Growth and Scale, Zapier automation, and webhooks for API access on Growth. The maker says data is stored in the EU and describes GDPR-related features including consent-based opt-in, deletion rights, and data processing agreements. New accounts receive five free credits. Startup costs €19 a month, excluding VAT, and includes 100 credits monthly and up to three team seats. PressPilot says it does not guarantee that a release will result in an article being published.
