The price is on the page.
Cision is the incumbent for a reason: monitoring, distribution, and a media database at enterprise scale. This page is for independent agencies who've been told to request a quote and would rather see a number.
Who this page is for
Solo practitioners, fractional PR leads, and small agencies who pay for their own tools and don't have a procurement team to run a sales cycle. If you're an enterprise comms department buying monitoring across dozens of markets, Cision's scope is real and this page isn't trying to talk you out of it.
How to read this table
Every row cites a source and a date. 'Not verified' means we couldn't confirm it from the competitor's published material and won't guess. Pitcher's own prices and limits are pulled from the same file that runs our billing, so what you see here is what you'd pay.
- Publishes list pricing. Pitcher: Every self-serve tier priced on the pricing page. Cision: Request-pricing form only.1
- Price increases at renewal. Pitcher: Your rate is locked while the subscription stays continuously active (ToS 3.6). Cision: Fees increase 5% automatically each renewal unless the order form says otherwise (GTC 10.3).2
- Notice required to avoid auto-renewal. Pitcher: Cancel any time from your account; takes effect at the end of the current term (ToS 3.2). Cision: 30 days before term end, or it auto-renews (GTC 10.3).2
- Refunds. Pitcher: Fees non-refundable and not prorated for partial periods (ToS 3.5). Cision: Payment obligations non-cancelable, fees non-refundable (GTC 5.1).2Both are non-refundable. Cision additionally makes the payment obligation itself non-cancelable.
- Getting your data out after you leave. Pitcher: Export of your own data on request for 30 days after termination (ToS 14.4). Cision: No obligation to provide Client Data; deleted in the ordinary course (GTC 4.2).2
- Published support hours. Pitcher: not verified — No support hours published. Cision: 8 AM-8 PM ET, Mon-Fri, phone and email (GTC 4.3).2Cision commits to hours in its contract and Pitcher does not. Listed because it is a real advantage of theirs.
- Contractual uptime commitment. Pitcher: None published; the terms disclaim uninterrupted service (ToS 15). Cision: 99.5% monthly average (GTC 4.1).2
- Governing law. Pitcher: Virginia, USA (ToS 19.1). Cision: Maryland, USA (GTC 11.1).2Both are US companies under US state law. Neutral row, included for completeness.
Where Cision is the better fit
Breadth. Print and broadcast monitoring, newswire distribution, a database that covers markets we don't. If your work needs those at scale, that's what you're paying for. Pitcher is a media-relations workspace for the outreach itself — contacts, pitching, coverage, reporting — priced for the agency doing it.
What you're actually choosing
Two ways to be billed. One publishes no price, raises it five percent at every renewal by default, requires thirty days' notice or it renews again, and has no obligation to hand back your data when you leave. The other prints three prices, locks yours for as long as you subscribe, cancels at the end of the period you paid for, and lets you export on Pro and above. We wrote ours down so you can hold us to it.
