Buzzscribed vs PublicAddress
PublicAddress is an Australian media database with email pitching. It sends emails through your personal Microsoft or Google account, which means your business inbox handles bulk sends.
Buzzscribed uses dedicated email infrastructure (SendGrid) that keeps pitch campaigns separate from your day-to-day email - no throttling risk, no deliverability issues. Beyond pitching, Buzzscribed tracks journalist engagement at the individual level, manages interviews through to published coverage, gives clients their own real-time portal, and measures results against the Barcelona Principles.
PublicAddress stops at "find, pitch, track." Buzzscribed continues to interview, coverage, proof, and client reporting.
On price: PublicAddress charges ~$200/user/month. Buzzscribed starts free with every feature included.
