PressPilot review
A practical press release workflow for small teams that need targeting and campaign tracking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PressPilot is a web-based AI press release platform for founders, small businesses, PR agencies, and lean communications teams. It creates drafts from supplied company or announcement information, supports English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, and combines journalist targeting, email distribution, campaign scheduling, and tracking in one workflow. Its journalist database can be filtered by beat, outlet, geography, and engagement, while a branded newsroom can be hosted on the customer's domain.
Pricing combines monthly subscriptions with one-time credit packs. The Startup plan costs €19 per month and includes 100 journalist credits, up to three team seats, AI writing, a branded newsroom, and real-time tracking. Team costs €49 per month for 300 credits, automated follow-ups, advanced campaign analytics, and up to 10 seats. Pro costs €119 per month with 800 credits, unlimited seats, unlimited sending addresses, and priority support with a 24-hour response. One-time options range from Starter at €30 for 100 credits to Agency at €499 for 2,500 credits; higher packs add multilingual campaigns, webhooks, HubSpot, CSV imports, Zapier automation, custom branding, and credits that never expire. AI-generated releases use five credits each, and credits may also be used for journalist contacts.
The strongest fit is a small communications team that wants drafting, targeted outreach, A/B subject-line testing, scheduling, automated follow-ups, and response tracking without separating these tasks across tools. HubSpot, Zapier, and API connections support broader workflows, with specific capabilities varying by plan. PressPilot is less suited to teams needing a native mobile or desktop product, or organizations that want advanced automation and analytics without moving to a higher tier. Choose it when multilingual drafting and journalist outreach are central; consider an alternative when press release creation alone is the primary requirement.
