TAP vs CoverageBook
Live portal beats static PDF, if the campaign is still moving.
What CoverageBook is good at
CoverageBook turns press clippings into a polished PDF report with social reach numbers. For a single-release press campaign that wraps with one client-ready document, it does its job. The reports look the part. The clipping detection is solid.
If your work ends when the campaign wraps, CoverageBook is a sensible buy.
What TAP does differently
TAP ships the same coverage as a live /share/[token] portal that refreshes when a new play or coverage hit lands. The artist bookmarks the link once. The numbers stay current. No re-export, no re-send, no PDF superseded by a better PDF.
TAP also starts earlier in the workflow than CoverageBook. Contact research, pitch drafting, follow-up cadence, and reply attribution all live in the same workspace, so the coverage view is connected to the pitch that won it.
For music PR specifically, the radio monitoring layer matters. TAP detects plays on monitored UK community and commercial stations and attaches each play to the contact who took the call. CoverageBook doesn’t cover broadcast detection.
Honest framing
CoverageBook is the better fit if your reporting need is social reach and online mention detection across all media verticals. TAP’s coverage portal is music-PR-shaped, so a non-music campaign gets a less specialised view.
CoverageBook’s starting price sits at roughly £500/month. TAP Pro starts at £39/month, Agency at £149/month. Different positioning, different tier of agency.
FAQ
Does TAP replace CoverageBook?
Only if your campaigns are ongoing. CoverageBook is polished for one-off press campaigns that wrap with a single PDF. TAP makes sense when the artist opens the link more than once and the campaign keeps generating coverage.
What does the TAP coverage portal show?
Plays detected from monitored radio stations, coverage logged against the campaign, replies attributed to pitches, and the press release if one was generated. The artist sees the same view on every load with the current numbers.
Can I export a PDF for archive?
Yes. The /share/[token] portal exports a snapshot PDF on demand. The point of the live portal is that the version the artist last opened is current, not the version you exported in week one.
