Brand24 covers only the last step of the PR workflow, coverage tracking, but it does that at published prices. It collects mentions from news sites, blogs, podcasts, newsletters, reviews, Reddit and the major social networks, then reports volume, reach, engagement, sentiment, a Presence Score and AVE, the advertising value equivalency many PR teams still report. Individual costs $199 per month billed annually, or $249 monthly, for 3 keywords, 2,000 mentions a month, one user and updates every 12 hours. Team at $299 annually adds unlimited users, 7 keywords, 10,000 mentions and hourly updates, and Pro at $399 adds realtime updates and AI brand assistant features. A 14-day trial is available. Brand24 has no journalist database, media lists or pitching, so it belongs next to a pitching tool such as BuzzStream or JustReachOut rather than in place of a PR suite.
