BuzzStream started in link building, and it remains a practical pitching tool for digital PR teams that live in email. Starter costs $49 per month for one user and 500 contacts, with contact info discovery, open, click and reply tracking, templates, publisher metrics, a Chrome extension and 50 results per search in the BuzzStream Discovery database. Growth at $174 per month adds three users, 25,000 contacts, unlimited Discovery results, bulk sends, scheduling, automated follow-ups, team template sharing and project reports. Professional at $424 adds six users, 100,000 contacts, team reporting and API access. Plans run month to month with no minimum term. BuzzStream also sells ListIQ, an AI media list product, separately. The limits are clear: there is no print or broadcast monitoring and no coverage dashboard beyond link reporting, so teams that report share of voice to executives will need a monitoring tool alongside it.
