Not at all! Propel is the first PRM platform that combines media relations, pitching, and analytics in one—offering an experience similar to a CRM but built specifically for PR professionals. Unlike Muck Rack, which focuses more on database access, Propel gives you data-driven insights to refine your pitching and maximize media placements.
It can seem that way, but there’s a key difference—Propel goes beyond media lists by offering real-time journalist engagement analytics, AI-powered recommendations, and direct CRM-style email tracking. Muck Rack provides a database, but Propel helps you actively improve your pitching strategy.
Not with Propel! Unlike Muck Rack, which limits detailed engagement insights, Propel provides full visibility into journalist interactions—so you can see who opened, clicked, or responded to your pitch, without additional fees.
Muck Rack has a strong media database, but Propel doesn’t just give you contacts—it helps you connect strategically. With AI-powered journalist recommendations, CRM-style tracking, and engagement insights, Propel ensures your outreach is data-driven and effective rather than just relying on mass pitching.
Many PR teams find that Muck Rack’s journalist database is useful but limited when it comes to personalized outreach and measuring PR impact. With Propel, your team can track journalist engagement, optimize pitches using AI, and get deeper reporting—so PR efforts are more strategic and measurable.
Absolutely! Propel was designed with PR teams in mind, offering intuitive workflows, and built-in AI assistance. Many PR pros find Muck Rack complex for pitching, while Propel simplifies the process with one-click journalist outreach, automated follow-ups, and smart recommendations.
