Verdict

Muck Rack earns the second spot by offering a highly accurate, self-updating media database within a superior, modern user interface that streamlines PR workflows.

What customers praise

What customers criticise

Its media monitoring is less powerful than dedicated services like Cision or Meltwater, particularly for broadcast and print, and it lacks a native press release distribution wire.
