Newsroom versus database
Prezly's strength is the content side of PR: a branded online newsroom, story publishing and a CRM for the journalists you already work with. That works well for teams that have built relationships and need somewhere to send them.
Earlier-stage teams usually don't have those relationships yet. InsightFuse starts one step before: finding the journalists who cover your beat across 236,000+ outlets and getting a first pitch in front of them.
In short
Prezly helps you publish and manage relationships you already have. InsightFuse helps you build new ones, with 799,000+ journalists to search and pitch.
