PitchGhost vs Cision

Cision and PitchGhost are rarely on the same shortlist, and that is the point of this page. People search for the comparison because both are called social listening, and the term covers two different jobs.

Cision’s job is public relations at enterprise scale. CisionOne combines media monitoring across print, online, broadcast, podcasts, and social with a journalist database, PR Newswire distribution, reporting, and a social management tool for publishing. Its listening covers Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, Reddit, Bluesky, blogs, and forums, and its buyers are communications teams measuring coverage and share of voice. Pricing is by quote.

PitchGhost’s job is finding individual posts worth a reply. A Ghost reads one platform, LinkedIn, X, Reddit, or Facebook, against a goal you wrote in plain English. Each Find shows Ghost’s logic, a confidence figure and a suggested comment, reply, or connection request. Finds land in Slack, Teams, or Discord, sync to your CRM, and you take every action yourself. A team can be live in an afternoon on a published monthly price.

If you need coverage reports, a media database and a wire, you need Cision or a suite like it. If you need to know which of today’s 2,000 matching posts are the five worth answering, that is PitchGhost.
