Pitcher vs. Prezly

Built for agencies. Priced like it.

Prezly is a well-made PR platform, and for some teams it's the right choice. This page is for independent agencies deciding between the two — with the numbers, the contract terms, and the places where we're not the better fit.

Who this page is for

Solo practitioners, fractional PR leads, and small agencies who manage several clients and pay for their own tools. If you're a brand's in-house comms team with one newsroom to run, Prezly's Brands tiers may serve you well; this comparison uses Prezly's Agencies pricing because that's the product an agency is steered toward.

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.

Prezly
Pitcher
Which law governs, and where are disputes heard?
Prezly
Belgian law — Courts of Leuven, exclusive
Pitcher
Virginia, USA — courts of Loudoun County (ToS §19.1–19.2)
Prezly Terms of Service (eff. Nov 10, 2025), Terms 7.1–7.2 · as of Aug 31, 2026
Neither is better in the abstract. It matters if a dispute would mean litigating abroad.
Is a support commitment published?
Prezly
Partial. 24/7 support published on Agency Custom, which is sales-quoted; the priced agency tiers say only “Awesome support”
Pitcher

Prezly Agency pricing · as of Aug 31, 2026
Read off the pricing capture, not the terms. “Awesome support” is marketing, not a commitment, which is why the two priced tiers do not count as published.
Is there a contractual uptime commitment?
Prezly
Partial. 99% uptime SLA on Agency Custom, which is sales-quoted; no figure on the priced tiers
Pitcher
Yes. 99.9% monthly, prorated credit as the sole remedy (ToS §15)

Where Prezly is the better fit

Prezly is a newsroom-and-distribution platform first: hosted press sites, multilingual stories, media galleries. If publishing a branded newsroom is the core of your work, that's their strength and not ours. Pitcher is a media-relations workspace — contacts, pitching, coverage, and reporting for the people doing the outreach.

What you're actually choosing

Two contract postures. One raises list prices for existing customers on notice, resolves disputes in Belgium, and retains your data for thirty days after you leave. The other locks your price for as long as you subscribe, answers to Virginia law, and lets you export your data on any Pro or Enterprise plan. Both are legitimate ways to run a company. We wrote ours down so you can hold us to it.

No credit card. List price is the price.
