Built for teams who just need the outreach done
Muck Rack is an enterprise platform with an enterprise sales process. If you are a founder, a solo consultant or a small in-house team, most of what you do in a week is the same four things: find the right reporters, build a list, send the pitch, keep track of who you have contacted.
InsightFuse does exactly that, across 799,000+ journalist profiles, from $49 a month — and you can start in the next minute instead of booking a call and waiting on a quote.
What it costs
Muck Rack uses customised pricing: you request a demo and receive a quote. InsightFuse publishes its price right here — $59 a month, or $49 a month on annual billing with 3 months free, and no call required to find that out.
In short
We do more than Muck Rack on the work that actually wins coverage: finding the right journalists across 799,000+ profiles, building the list, pitching from your own mailbox and keeping track of everyone you have contacted. And we still do it for $59 a month — $49 on the annual plan — with the whole database open to search before you pay us anything.
The database
799,000+ journalists across 236,017 outlets and 234 countries and territories, filterable by beat, job title, outlet and country. 289,253 profiles carry a direct email address and every profile carries a LinkedIn profile.
You can search all of it on the free tier, without a credit card, and judge the coverage for your own beat before you pay us anything. Details on the journalist database page.
