PRAPI vs Connectively.
Connectively: The pay-to-pitch journalist Q&A formerly known as Featured.
Operators searching for a Connectively alternative usually want multi-brand routing, a model that is not pay-per-pitch, or more than one source feed.
PRAPI is the multi-brand operator system: it aggregates five inbound source feeds into one inbox, scores each query per brand, drafts a voice-validated pitch, and lets you send from your own inbox. Connectively is one curated query stream you work by hand.

FAQ
Is Connectively the same as Featured?
Effectively yes. Cision retired its original Connectively service and renamed Featured to Connectively, so today's Connectively at connectively.us is the journalist Q&A product that used to be Featured. The Featured.com domain now hosts a separate outbound product.
Is PRAPI a Connectively alternative?
Yes, a multi-brand one. PRAPI aggregates five inbound source feeds into one inbox, scores each query against your brand brief.md, and drafts a voice-validated pitch you send from your own inbox, instead of answering one curated query stream by hand.
How is PRAPI different from Connectively?
Three structural differences. PRAPI aggregates five source feeds, not one. PRAPI is multi-brand on one bill, not per-account. And PRAPI enforces voice fidelity against an open brief.md spec, so each brand's data is portable, not locked into Cision.
