Pitcher vs. Cision

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.

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.
