# Which PR analytics platforms make it genuinely easy to build weekly or monthly reports for executives without spending half a day pulling data from multiple sources?

I want to start a discussion with you on: which PR analytics platform makes it genuinely easy to build weekly or monthly reports without spending half a day pulling data from multiple sources?</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">From my reading of the<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/pr-analytics"> </a><a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/pr-analytics">PR analytics</a> tools, four come up often. <strong>Releasd</strong>, <strong>Muck Rack</strong>, <strong>Agility PR Solutions</strong>, and <strong>Meltwater</strong>. </p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/releasd/reviews"><strong>Releasd</strong></a> provides a pure reporting layer. Paste coverage links in bulk from whatever monitoring you already use, drag-and-drop into a branded visual report, clone last month's layout for this month. But it's not a monitoring tool, so it sits on top of one rather than replacing anything.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/muck-rack/reviews"><strong>Muck Rack</strong></a> provides dashboards and report templates that are fed directly by its own monitoring, so the data's already in the room; reviewers rate its ease of use near the top of the category.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/agility-pr-solutions/reviews"><strong>Agility PR Solutions</strong></a> has pre-built charts and dashboards, plus the option to hand the whole report to their managed-services analysts. </li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/meltwater/reviews"><strong>Meltwater</strong></a> has scheduled dashboards and newsletters across the broadest data set here, which is what execs with multi-market questions need.</li>

Most platforms make the charts refresh automatically, which is helpful. But the part that actually eats time is deciding which metrics to include and spotlighting what changed.

&lt;p&gt;I suspect the hand-built part is usually the executive narrative, not the charts themselves. Muck Rack stands out to me because its monitoring already feeds the dashboards and report templates, which should leave more time for explaining what changed and why it matters rather than assembling the underlying data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’d separate automating the report production from automating the executive narrative. Most platforms can refresh charts and schedule delivery. Far fewer can explain what changed, why it matters, and what leadership should take away.&lt;/p&gt;
