PRAPI vs HARO.

HARO: Help a Reporter Out, the original journalist-source email list, revived and running again.

Operators searching for a HARO alternative usually want multi-brand routing, voice-fidelity controls, or more than one source feed.

HARO is one of the five inbound feeds PRAPI ingests. PRAPI is the multi-brand operator system on top: it aggregates HARO and four other feeds into one inbox, scores each query per brand, and drafts a voice-validated pitch you send from your own inbox.

Status note: HARO went dark when Cision folded it into Connectively in 2024, but the brand is back and the source-request email list is running again. PRAPI treats HARO as one live feed among five: forward HARO emails into PRAPI and get a voice-validated draft back in your own inbox, scored against every brand you run.
