CoverageBook

CoverageBook is a PR reporting tool for teams assembling earned-media coverage into reports. It suits agencies, in-house PR teams, publicists and organizations that already gather coverage themselves. Its flexible reporting is useful, but it does not monitor for coverage or automatically source metrics for print and broadcast items.

Overview

Users can add links to online articles and social posts, or upload print clippings, video and audio files, and custom slides. For supported coverage, the product collects screenshots, Estimated Views, social shares and outlet audience statistics. Reports can be shared online or exported as PDFs, CSV files or Excel files. That range works for both stakeholder presentation and teams that want to continue analysis in spreadsheets or other tools.

The trade-off is that coverage collection remains the team's responsibility: CoverageBook does not monitor or alert users to new coverage. Print and broadcast items can be reported with custom metrics, but those metrics are not automatically sourced. Teams seeking discovery and reporting in one service should look elsewhere.

Key features

Coverage sources and metrics

Supported link sources include YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Twitch, Spotify, Facebook, LinkedIn and online news articles. Outlet audience data uses SimilarWeb, Domain Authority uses Moz, and social-share data comes from Buzzsumo via the X API. These third-party inputs can add useful context to reports, but print and broadcast coverage needs custom metrics rather than automatic figures.

Sharing and exports

Online report sharing is paired with PDF and CSV or Excel exports, giving teams a choice between a presentation-ready link and downloadable files. The export-to-CSV workflow can support work in spreadsheets or other tools. There is no native Muck Rack integration, so teams relying on that connection should account for a manual or separate workflow.

Clipper and support

CoverageBook Clipper is a free Chrome extension for bookmarking coverage links. It is limited to Chrome, so it does not provide the same capture option on other browsers. Support is free and typically replies within one business day; there is no telephone support.

Pricing

Paid plans start with a 30-day trial, and the monthly plans below can be cancelled at any time. Their main differences are monthly clip quotas and user limits, so the right tier depends on both reporting volume and the number of collaborators.

Silver sharply expands the user ceiling to 50, while Silver Plus raises the clip quota without adding seats. Gold and Gold Plus are for higher-volume teams, with Gold Plus allowing up to 2,000 clips and 150 users. Above those limits, Enterprise has custom pricing. The Archive plan is not a lower-volume working tier: it keeps existing reports live while an account is paused. There is no free plan.

Platforms

CoverageBook runs on the web and as an extension. The Clipper extension is specifically for Chrome. The service says it provides browser-only access; data is encrypted in transit via HTTPS and stored using RSA. Data is hosted by cloud providers including AWS, Crunchy Bridge and Heroku, while Stripe handles payments.

Who it's for

CoverageBook is aimed at PR agencies, in-house teams, publicists and organizations reporting earned media to clients or other stakeholders. It is a stronger fit when teams need structured reporting and shareable outputs from coverage they have already selected. It is a weaker fit for teams that require automated monitoring, alerts or automatically sourced print and broadcast metrics.

Pros and cons

Pros: Online reports, PDF downloads and CSV or Excel exports suit different presentation and follow-on analysis needs.

Pros: A broad set of social and online sources, plus uploads for print, video, audio and custom slides, accommodates mixed-media reports.

Pros: Monthly tiers scale from 100 to 2,000 clips and from five to 150 users, with cancellation at any time.

Cons: Users must find and add coverage themselves; there is no monitoring or alerting.

Cons: Print and broadcast metrics require custom entry rather than automatic sourcing.

Cons: The Clipper is Chrome-only, and support does not include telephone service.

Alternatives

For a service with realtime mention streams, alerts and mobile apps, consider Cision; CoverageBook is for assembling selected items rather than monitoring them. TVEyes Insight is an alternative when broadcast, radio, podcast and online video monitoring with smart alerts is the priority. Choose Agility PR Solutions when social listening across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Reddit, including trend and sentiment tracking, matters more than a reporting-first workflow.

Muck Rack combines media monitoring and alerts with a media database, pitching and reporting; it may suit teams seeking those functions together. CoverageBook's lack of a native Muck Rack integration is a consideration for teams using both. Releasd offers plans with five users and 500 online and social URLs per month, an alternative for teams whose reporting needs fit that stated allowance.

PRgloo is another paid alternative, with its Basic plan priced at $3,500 a year per user. Prezly AI Press Release Optimizer has a free plan and web and API platforms, and may suit readers looking for a freemium option. Onclusive Social is a paid, web-based alternative with custom pricing.

Verdict

Choose CoverageBook if your PR team needs to turn manually selected coverage into reports that can be shared online or downloaded in several formats, with monthly quotas suited to its volume and team size. Look elsewhere if finding coverage, alerting or automatically sourced print and broadcast metrics are central requirements.
