Detailed Review
Prezly starts from the story rather than from a database of journalists. You write and publish a story in your own newsroom, then send it as a pitch to a list of contacts and see who opened and clicked, all inside the same record.
The contracting company is Prezly BV in Leuven, and its terms are under Belgian law with the courts of Leuven as the venue. That keeps the contract with a Belgian company, which is the point for teams that are leaving a US-owned PR suite.
Newsroom, Contacts and Pitching in One Flow
The product pages describe four steps: publish stories in a branded newsroom, keep contacts and media lists, send personalised email pitches, and report on results. A published story stays online and carries downloadable media kits, and the vendor says the newsroom is built for search and AI discovery.
Reports show delivered, opened and clicked counts per campaign, and coverage can be added to a story afterwards so the result sits next to the pitch.
What the Plans Include
Essential costs EUR 100 a month billed annually and covers one site, one user, up to 5,000 contacts, unlimited stories and campaigns, and Prezly branding. Standard costs EUR 250 a month billed annually and adds a second user, 10,000 contacts, white-label sites, custom fonts, localisation with auto-translation, and sending from your own domain.
Enterprise is quoted individually and adds single sign-on, a 99% uptime SLA, 24/7 support and live training. All plans start with a 14-day trial without a card.
AI Assistants as an Add-On Layer
Prezly lets you connect Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini to the account so an assistant can look up contacts and read campaign results. The vendor states that you stay in control of what happens, but the pages checked do not describe where that data is processed.
Limitations to Consider
Prezly is an outreach and publishing tool, not a monitoring service: the pages describe adding coverage to a story, and no news or social monitoring feed is described. Essential is limited to one user and Prezly-branded sites, and the contact limits (5,000 and 10,000) matter for agencies. For monitoring, pair it with a service such as Retriever or pressrelations. The data-hosting region is not stated on the pages checked.

Frequently Asked Questions
The pricing and product pages describe your own contacts and media lists, with limits of 5,000 on Essential and 10,000 on Standard. A bundled journalist database is not described on the pages checked.
For publishing a newsroom, building lists, sending pitches and reporting on them, yes. It does not describe media monitoring, so teams that need clipping alongside it add a separate monitoring service.
Prezly BV is a Belgian company with its registered office in Leuven, and its terms of service are governed by Belgian law.
