Drafting and publishing are free. You pay only when you email a journalist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Prezly require an annual contract?
Yes. Prezly's pricing is structured on an annual billing basis, with the Essential plan at $1,200 per year and Standard at $3,600 per year. There is no month-to-month option. This is appropriate for established enterprise teams with predictable PR budgets, but it is a significant commitment for early-stage companies testing a PR workflow for the first time.
Is Prezly available in the United States?
Prezly operates globally, but its primary market and feature focus is EMEA. Its enterprise customer base reflects a European-headquartered, large-brand orientation. US-based startups or small companies will typically find better fit and pricing with tools designed for their market.
What is missing from 24HRPR compared to Prezly?
24HRPR does not include Prezly's stakeholder CRM, multi-language newsroom, or deep campaign tracking features. If your team manages ongoing relationships with hundreds of media contacts across multiple countries and languages, Prezly's feature set may be worth the investment. For press release drafting, journalist matching, and targeted pitching, 24HRPR covers the core workflow at a fraction of the cost.
Can I try 24HRPR before paying?
Yes. The executive bio tool is free with no credit card. Drafting and publishing are free too. You only pay to send, starting at $99 one-time for 50 sends valid 12 months. No monthly subscription or annual commitment required.
