Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Feedly

  • A Feedly account is required before the app can be used at all
  • Tracking keywords, brands and companies requires Feedly Pro
  • Searching within your own feeds requires Feedly Pro
  • Integrations with LinkedIn, Buffer, Zapier and IFTTT require Feedly Pro
  • You cannot sign up for a Market Intelligence or Threat Intelligence trial or account from the mobile app; that must be done on feedly.com

Muck Rack

  • No pricing is published, and every quote is prepared individually
  • Cost depends on user count, so a growing PR team pays more for the same database
  • Broadcast monitoring, social listening and press release distribution are separately priced modules rather than included
