# PressPilot

> PressPilot is a press release distribution platform built for founders, in-house comms teams, freelancers and boutique agencies who want to reach journalists without signing an enterprise contract. Pricing starts at 19 EUR per month for 100 journalist credits, or 30 EUR for a one-off pack of 100 credits. There is no contract, and credits roll over and never expire. AI writing is included, every announcement gets a hosted newsroom, and data sits in the EU under GDPR. The pitch is simple: an affordable, no-commitment, EU-based alternative to legacy tools like Cision, PR Newswire and Business Wire, in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

## Facts

- Company: PressPilot is published by Fibroweb, a French company. Founded by Tristan Berguer.
- Product: press release distribution to journalists, with AI writing and a hosted newsroom in one place.
- Database (September 2026): 46,000+ verified journalist contacts, 15,000+ media outlets, 78 countries. Best covered: United States, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Canada, Italy, Spain, Brazil. Bounced addresses are removed automatically.
- Results: the median campaign gets 1 email in 3 opened, measured on 20,000+ emails sent since 2025. Tracking shows who opened, clicked and replied; publication is never guaranteed.
- Sending: emails go out from the user's own address (Gmail, Outlook or any SMTP), so replies land in their inbox. One credit is spent per journalist contacted.
- Free trial: the first 5 sends are free, no credit card required.
- Pricing: monthly plans at 19 EUR (Startup, 100 credits per month), 49 EUR (Team, 300 credits) and 119 EUR (Pro, 800 credits). One-off credit packs also available from 30 EUR for 100 credits.
- No contract. Plans can be cancelled at any time, and one-off credit packs need no subscription at all.
- Credits never expire. Unused monthly credits roll over from one month to the next, so an occasional publisher keeps building a reserve.
- AI writing is included; you can draft a release and distribute it from the same place.
- Every campaign comes with a hosted, branded newsroom page.
- Data residency: hosted in the EU, GDPR compliant.
- Languages: English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
