The honest comparison

JournoPig vs Sourcee

Same job: get alerted the moment a journalist needs an expert. One is first month 99p then £9.99/mo. The other starts at $59.

Sourcee is a good, polished tool — it monitors more places than we do and adds Slack/Discord alerts. But it starts at $59/month and jumps to $97/month for agencies. This whole category is wildly overpriced, and that’s the point of JournoPig: the core value — real-time journalist requests filtered to your expertise — for first month 99p, then £9.99/month. Here’s the honest head-to-head, no spin.

The verdict

Paying $59+ for this? You’re overpaying.

If you’re an agency that needs every source and per-client workspaces, Sourcee earns its price.

JournoPig gives you the part that actually lands you featured. First month 99p, then £9.99/mo.
