What it is
PressPilot is a press release platform for writing, distribution and campaign tracking. It is aimed at founders, PR agencies and lean communications teams, and the maker says it works best for teams sending 1 to 10 campaigns a month.

Each account also includes a branded newsroom on the user’s domain, with release archives and media embeds. PressPilot offers web and API access, plus integrations that vary by plan: HubSpot on Growth and Scale, Zapier automation, and webhooks on Growth. The maker says data is stored in the EU and lists GDPR-related features. A free plan includes five credits for new accounts; Startup costs €19 a month, excluding VAT.
