Best PR Analytics Tools (2026): Top 9 Compared

Onclusive is a communications intelligence and PR measurement platform operated by Onclusive, a company formed through the merger of several earned-media analytics vendors including AirPR and Kantar Media's PR software business. The platform is built around a proprietary global newscrawler analyzing millions of pieces of earned, owned and social content daily across more than 100 languages, and around two metrics the company credits itself with inventing: PR Attribution, which links published content to business outcomes including revenue, and Power of Voice, a content-quality score combining outlet relevance, authority, social amplification and article tone into one real-time figure.

Beyond those two flagship metrics, the platform provides custom dashboards, alerting, reusable report templates and a self-service monitoring layer, Onclusive 360, sitting underneath the full Enterprise application. A separate GEO Analytics product tracks how a brand appears inside AI-generated answers across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Grok, reporting prompts, share of voice and positioning, and is sold on its own published annual plans starting from $105 per month for one country and 80 prompts.

Neither the Unified Platform nor Onclusive 360 publishes pricing; both require booking a demo, with cost described on-site as flexible and scaled to coverage breadth, user count and whether monitoring is self-service or fully managed. Only GEO Analytics, the newer AI-visibility module, carries a fixed published entry price, with higher tiers adding countries, additional AI platforms and a larger monthly prompt allowance. Onclusive suits a communications function that wants proprietary attribution and content-quality scoring and is comfortable working through a sales process to get it. It is a weaker fit for a team that wants a self-service monthly price before any conversation, since the core measurement platform, unlike GEO Analytics, remains quote-only.

Cision is a communications software provider whose CisionOne platform pairs a media contact database and press release distribution with monitoring and analytics built to prove PR value to executives. Coverage spans print, online, TV, radio, social, podcast and magazine channels in real time. Product pages describe automated share-of-voice analysis run across every monitored channel, benchmarking a brand against named competitors in a small number of clicks rather than a manual spreadsheet exercise.

In July 2026 Cision extended that benchmarking into generative AI answers with its AI Visibility Dashboard, built on data from search-intelligence partner Trajaan. Communications teams can monitor brand presence across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek and Google AI Overview, track visibility over time, benchmark share of voice against competitors, read sentiment in AI-generated responses, see which journalists and publications are cited, and connect all of it to media monitoring, social listening and outreach already logged in the platform, rather than running it as a separate, disconnected tool.

Cision does not publish pricing for any module; every account is quoted based on named users, which modules are included among database, monitoring, distribution and analytics, geographic coverage and contract length. Independent buyer data places small to mid-sized deployments with core modules in the tens of thousands of dollars annually, with larger enterprise contracts spanning global monitoring and high-volume distribution running well beyond that. Cision suits a large, established communications function that wants share-of-voice and AI-visibility benchmarking alongside a media database and distribution in one contract, and that already budgets for enterprise software procurement. It is a poor fit for a small team wanting a fixed price before entering a multi-step sales process, since no self-service tier exists anywhere on the site.

Meltwater is a media intelligence company, serving 27,000 customers worldwide, whose PR Reporting product is sold as a distinct offering within its wider monitoring and social listening suite, rather than a generic export bolted onto a monitoring dashboard. The product page positions it around communicating PR outcomes to stakeholders: real-time dashboards, share-of-voice tracking against named competitors, and sentiment analysis showing how coverage tone shifts over a campaign or reporting period, aimed at replacing hours of manual PowerPoint building.

The reporting layer draws on Meltwater's broader monitoring of online, print, broadcast and social sources, and combines paid, earned, owned and AI media into a single unified view so a communications team can show the full media mix in one report. Reports can be scheduled, auto-updated and exported as PDF or PowerPoint, and Mira, Meltwater's AI assistant, generates executive summaries so stakeholders see share of voice, sentiment trends and campaign performance without waiting for a scheduled readout.

Meltwater does not publish pricing on its own site; every plan is quoted and typically sold on an annual contract, with the media contact database and newer AI-tracking capabilities sold as separate add-on modules rather than included by default. Independent buyer research places a typical single-user starting contract at several thousand dollars a year, with median mid-market subscriptions well into five figures and enterprise deployments running higher still. Meltwater suits a mid-size to large communications team that wants a named PR reporting product inside a broader monitoring relationship it likely already has, or one specifically evaluating Meltwater for that pairing. It fits less well a small team unwilling to negotiate module-by-module scope before a final price is known, since add-ons add a procurement step before cost is confirmed.

Muck Rack is a public relations software company best known for its journalist database and pitching tools, and it has invested specifically in measurement and reporting on top of that base product, including a dedicated Reporting and Measurement product line. In 2024 the company shipped a major set of measurement enhancements, and the current Dashboards tool offers outcome-based templates covering media impact analytics, brand reputation insights, competitive analysis and a relationship summary tracking connections with individual journalists.

The reporting layer includes widgets built for PR key performance indicators: historic comparison covering up to five years of data, total placements broken out by broadcast, digital and print media, local, national and total broadcast audience with advertising value equivalency, and share of voice by unique visitors per month, by total placements and over time. Because these dashboards sit inside the same product used to search the media database and manage pitches, reporting can draw on real outreach activity rather than a disconnected add-on reconciled manually against records kept elsewhere.

Muck Rack does not publish pricing. It offers three plans each for brand and agency customers, priced by user count and selected modules such as broadcast monitoring or social listening; independent buyer research places typical annual contracts from roughly five thousand dollars for a small team to the low tens of thousands for mid-market accounts, with Premier quoted separately for the most advanced reporting. Muck Rack suits a PR team that wants measurement built into the tool it already uses daily for research and pitching. It is a weaker fit for a team that specifically wants a published price before engaging sales, or one whose needs are narrow enough that a full media database is unnecessary overhead.

Propel, now marketed as Propel AI and formerly sold as Propel PRM, is a public relations management platform built by former PR practitioners and positioned as the first CRM designed specifically for the profession. The product bundles a global media contact database of more than one million journalists and influencers, native Gmail and Outlook pitching plug-ins, and analytics a communications team needs to show programme results, including a proprietary Article Authority score, share-of-voice tracking and business-outcome reporting tied to traffic and conversions.

Measurement features include business-outcome attribution built into the core CRM, drill-down productivity metrics reporting pitch open, response and publish rates, and a coverage log connecting placements back to the specific outreach that produced them. Media monitoring covers thousands of news sites, forums, blogs and broadcast sources, plus social mentions, with coverage compared against named competitors. That pairing of outreach data and coverage data in one system is the product's main differentiator from tools that only ingest published coverage after the fact.

Propel AI no longer lists tiered dollar pricing on its site. Plans are named Essentials, Pro and Premium, scaling by seat count from one user up to seven, with online and print monitoring alerts rising from 10 to 25 to 50 across the tiers and business-outcome reporting included at every level. Every plan now requires booking a demo rather than checking a published price. Propel suits a small or mid-size PR team that wants attribution and productivity metrics built into a CRM designed for PR. It is a weaker fit for a team that specifically wants a visible price before talking to sales, since Propel AI's current pricing page requires booking a demo for every tier, or one wary of a rapidly repositioning vendor now marketing itself primarily around an AI agent.

Agility PR Solutions is a public relations software vendor whose platform pairs AI-enhanced media monitoring across online news, print, broadcast, podcasts and social channels with a measurement and reporting layer, sold as its Media Intelligence solution, aimed at proving the value of media relations to internal stakeholders. The platform is marketed separately to in-house PR teams and to agencies managing several client accounts. The company publishes an extended guide to PR measurement practice on its own site, signalling that reporting is a deliberate part of its positioning rather than an afterthought.

Inside the platform, automatic coverage tagging and a library of customizable, shareable charts convert raw coverage into a suite built for a stakeholder audience: story prominence measures, coverage briefings that can be automated or manual, and AI-generated insights that uncover coverage themes and trends across bulk mention sets. Coverage surge alerts flag significant shifts in mention volume before they show up, unexplained, in a scheduled report. Agencies get a client-segmented version of the same reporting tools, with per-client branding and briefing engagement tracking.

Pricing is not published on the dedicated plans page; the site presents features by module rather than a rate card, and cost is driven by which of media relations, monitoring, intelligence and social listening a buyer selects. Several independent review sources describe the platform as premium-priced relative to newer, self-service competitors. Agility suits a mid-market team that wants monitoring, a media database and stakeholder-ready reporting bundled into one subscription rather than assembled from separate vendors, and that is willing to negotiate a package rather than select from a rate card. It fits less well a buyer for whom price transparency at the outset is a hard requirement.

Prowly, the PR and media relations platform, was acquired by Semrush and relaunched in October 2025 as the Semrush AI PR Toolkit; the standalone Prowly product with its own Basic and Advanced reporting tiers is no longer sold to new customers, and prowly.com now presents the Semrush product rather than legacy Prowly pricing. The rebuilt toolkit centres on an AI-cited media database, showing which outlets and journalists large language models actually cite, alongside AI-assisted email pitching, press release creation and coverage monitoring, aimed at PR teams optimizing for both human and AI-driven discovery.

The entry Base plan covers finding AI-cited media, researching journalists with AI, drafting emails and press releases with PR-trained AI, and 500 tracked email sends. The Pro plan adds online media monitoring with AI support, mention alerts and digests, contact exports from the media database, advanced email analytics, audience and traffic insights for media outlets, follow-up automation and a feature that detects whether earned coverage can be attributed to a specific pitch sent from the toolkit, a genuine measurement capability rather than a raw monitoring feed.

Pricing is published: Base costs $149 per month and Pro costs $279 per month, both flat rates with a 7-day free trial and no permanent free tier, a simpler structure than the multi-currency annual-versus-monthly tiers the standalone product once sold. Prowly, in its current form, suits a small PR team or agency already inside the Semrush ecosystem that wants AI-visibility-aware outreach with basic attribution built in. It is a weaker fit for a team that wants the dedicated, client-facing PR Reports module the standalone product used to offer, since reporting is now secondary to media discovery and outreach rather than the product's central purpose.

CoverageBook is a PR reporting tool built by CoverageBook.com for publicists, agencies and in-house teams whose primary job is to turn a list of coverage links into a polished, client-ready report rather than to discover mentions in the first place. A customer testimonial on the pricing page describes it as a recurring line item worth the monthly charge for client reporting, internal planning and new business. A user imports the URLs of articles, clips or posts that resulted from a campaign, and the tool pulls metrics automatically and lays them out as a shareable report, removing the manual work of screenshotting articles into a slide deck.

Reports can be shared online, generated as a PDF, or exported as underlying data in Excel or CSV format. There are no storage limits, no fixed contract term, and an account can be cancelled any time. An archive plan, at $15 a month, keeps past reports viewable for a client after the main subscription is paused, useful for an agency between retainer periods.

Pricing is published in four tiers, all excluding VAT: Bronze at $99 a month for 100 clips and up to five users, Bronze Plus at $169 a month for 200 clips and up to ten users, Silver at $229 a month for 400 clips, up to fifty users, team onboarding and priority support, and Gold at $599 a month for 1,200 clips, up to 100 users, bespoke onboarding and Zoom support. Custom Enterprise plans cover roughly 2,000 to more than 100,000 clips a month, with dedicated account management. CoverageBook suits a publicist who needs to compile evidence of campaign results quickly and repeatedly. It is not a fit for a team that needs the tool itself to discover coverage or attribute it to revenue.

Memo is a communications data company, positioned as a data platform for a new era of PR measurement, that licenses readership analytics directly from publishers, an alternative to the modeled impression and advertising-value-equivalency figures long used, and long criticized, in PR measurement. Rather than estimating how many people likely saw a piece of coverage, Memo reports how many people the partnering publication itself recorded as having read a specific article, plus how long they engaged, sourced from a data marketplace connecting publishers with brands and agencies.

The core product, Memo Readership Value, converts that data into a figure showing what it would cost a marketing team to buy equivalent attention through paid channels. A web-based dashboard tracks readership on articles mentioning a brand alongside named competitors and industry peers, filterable by publication, topic, date range and headline mention, and Reporter Intelligence surfaces which journalists drive the most engagement rather than simply the most volume. An in-house Insights team can also research and analyze readership data on a breaking crisis as it unfolds. Because the data comes from publisher partnerships, figures are limited to outlets inside Memo's network.

Memo does not publish pricing; the company sells annual subscriptions negotiated directly with client teams, and its customer base, which includes Google Communications, skews toward large, well-known brands making measurement decisions based on verified readership rather than impressions. Memo suits a communications function that already questions the credibility of impression-based reporting and wants publisher-verified numbers instead, particularly one that must defend its measurement methodology to a skeptical finance or marketing audience. It is a weaker fit for a small team or one covered mainly by outlets outside Memo's publisher network, where readership data will simply not exist to report on.
