Pick your workflow in 4 questions

01

How many people handle PR at your org?

Solo (1 person, use Starter or Growth plan). Small team (2-5 people, use Growth or Scale plan). Enterprise (5+ people, use Scale plan or contact sales).

02

How many press releases per year?

1-3 (you need ~30-150 EUR per year in credits). 5-10 (you need ~150-400 EUR per year). 15+ (you need 500+ EUR per year). Multiply by journalist count per release.

03

Do you manage multiple clients?

No: use the solo or team workflow. Yes: use the agency workflow. PressPilot's credit model lets you bill clients back without per-client seat charges or setup fees.

04

Do you need AI writing or do you write yourself?

Need AI: all plans include it at 5 credits per release. Write manually: free. Both workflows supported. Saves time or gives you full creative control.

Frequently asked questions

Which use case fits my team?
Start with your send frequency. Sending 1 to 3 campaigns per year fits startups and solo founders. Sending 5 to 10 per year fits SaaS and small comms teams. Sending 15+ per year fits scale-ups and corporate teams. If you are managing other people's campaigns, you are an agency or consultant. Match your frequency to the use case, then explore the playbook.
Can I be multiple use cases at once?
Yes. If you are a solo founder running a side project and consulting for 2 clients, you are both a solo founder and a consultant. Use the freelancer or agency playbook to handle multi-client billing. Credit pools shared across team members make this simple.
How much should I budget for PR distribution?
PressPilot starts at 30 EUR per pack (100 credits). If you send 5 campaigns per year at 100 journalists per campaign, that is 500 credits, or 150 EUR per year (1 Growth pack per year). Add 5 more campaigns and you spend 300 EUR per year. Most teams spend 300 to 800 EUR per year on PressPilot alone. Pair with AI writing (included) and your internal time to calculate total PR cost.
Do you offer discounts for non-profits?
Yes. Nonprofit organizations get 25% off all pricing. Email hello@presspilot.io with your nonprofit status and we will apply the discount to your account. Nonprofits send fewer campaigns but need transparency and affordability even more than for-profits.
Can I test PressPilot before committing?
Yes. Every new account includes 5 free credits. Use them to test the AI writer or send a pilot campaign to 5 journalists. See tracking in action. No credit card required. If you like it, buy a pack. If not, your free credits disappear and there is no charge.
