Prowly now lives inside Semrush as the AI PR Toolkit, and it is the strongest tool here that publishes its prices. Base costs $149 per month and covers finding media outlets that LLMs cite, researching journalists with AI, drafting pitches and press releases, and sending up to 500 emails. Pro at $279 adds follow-ups, contact exports from the media database, advanced email analytics, 1,250 sends and online media monitoring with alerts and digests, and it flags coverage that can be attributed to your own pitches. Business at $499 adds competitor coverage maps, AI-suggested story angles, share of voice benchmarks and multi-brand tracking in one dashboard. Semrush says the toolkit is built for people with little PR tool experience and uses guided flows. The trade-offs: Base leaves out monitoring, so most teams tracking coverage need Pro, and the 7-day trial blocks email sending and contact exports, which makes a full pitching test hard before you pay.
