How to choose

Start from the shape of your work, not the feature list. One website with a large in-house team and high volume is a different problem from fifteen small clients on monthly budgets, and the tools are built for one or the other.

You promote one site at high volume. Pitchbox. The workflow customisation and integrations earn their price when a team lives in the tool all day.
Your work is relationship-led PR. BuzzStream. Contact history and relationship stages are its centre.
You have budget and no bandwidth. Respona's managed placements, with the margin and control trade-off that implies.
You are one person learning outreach. Postaga's guided campaign types are a good teacher.
You run link building for many clients and have to prove links and spend every month. LinqDesk. Client environments, budgets, agents, monitoring and the report are the product, not add-ons.
