In their own words
CoverageBook
CoverageBook is an online PR reporting tool for agencies and in-house public relations teams. Users add links to online articles and social posts or upload print clippings, video or audio files, and custom slides. For supported coverage, it gathers screenshots, Estimated Views, social shares and outlet audience statistics. Reports can be shared online or exported as PDFs or CSV/Excel files. Supported link sources include YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Twitch, Spotify, Facebook, LinkedIn and online news articles. Print and broadcast items can have custom metrics, but those metrics are not sourced automatically. CoverageBook does not monitor coverage or alert users; users select items and add them to reports. Bronze costs $99 a month, cancellable at any time, and allows 100 clips per month and up to 5 users. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. The service was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Brighton, United Kingdom.
Eclipse BIRT
Eclipse BIRT creates textual reports and visual charts from data drawn from databases, files, Java, JavaScript, and web services. Its Eclipse-based report designer, runtime, and charting engine can work together, while the charting engine can also be used on its own. The designer offers a drag-and-drop layout view, data and resource explorers, a script editor, and chart and expression builders. Reports can connect to JDBC, XML, web services, and flat files; one report can combine multiple sources using inner or outer joins. Data can be sorted, summarized, filtered, and grouped, including by sums or percentages of totals. Supported report forms include lists, charts, crosstabs, letters, documents, and compound reports. The engine can produce HTML, paginated HTML, Word, Excel, PostScript, ODT, ODS, ODP, and PDF, and export data to CSV. Designs use open XML and can be embedded in desktop or web applications, especially those using Java and Jakarta EE. BIRT is free open-source software under the Eclipse Public License (EPL), with Linux, macOS, Windows, web, API, and self-hosted availability.
