Comparison
TAP vs CoverageBook
CoverageBook reports on the coverage. TAP manages the entire campaign that creates it — from finding the right contacts to tracking every outcome.
Different tools, different jobs
CoverageBook does one thing well: it turns press clippings into polished reports with social reach data. If you already have coverage and need to report on it, CoverageBook is a solid tool.
TAP starts earlier. It helps you find the right contacts, enrich them with submission preferences and genre data, draft personalised pitches, track who opens and replies, manage follow-ups, and then generate branded PDF reports for clients.
For music PR specifically, TAP understands the industry — BBC station detection, radio vs press vs playlist categorisation, and genre-aware contact intelligence. CoverageBook is industry-agnostic.

Is TAP a replacement for CoverageBook?
TAP covers the full campaign workflow — contact research, pitch drafting, outcome tracking, and reporting. CoverageBook focuses specifically on coverage reporting with social metrics and automated clipping. If your main need is detailed social reach metrics and online mention detection, CoverageBook is strong there. If you need the full campaign lifecycle in one tool, TAP does more for less.
How does pricing compare?
CoverageBook starts at around GBP 500 per month for teams. TAP Pro is GBP 19 per month and Agency is GBP 79 per month. TAP includes contact intelligence, pitch drafting, and campaign management alongside reporting — features you would need separate tools for with CoverageBook.
Can I use both together?
Yes. Some agencies use TAP for the campaign workflow (contacts, pitches, outcomes) and CoverageBook for detailed coverage reporting with social metrics. TAP exports campaign data that feeds into other reporting tools.
Does TAP have automated online mention detection?
Not yet. TAP tracks outcomes through Gmail integration (reply detection) and manual coverage logging with AI-assisted parsing. Automated web monitoring for mentions is on the roadmap but not available today.
