Journalist Hunt is a focused, affordable media contact database that solves real problems for startup founders and small teams: finding relevant journalists quickly without massive PR budgets. Its 200k+ verified contacts, strong filters, list building, and easy exports are genuinely useful. The one-month subscription option is perfect for one-off campaigns. However, the product is still early—limited public pricing transparency, gated demo, modest MRR, and competition from far more feature-rich (and expensive) tools like Muck Rack and Cision keep it from being exceptional. It's a solid 68/100: good enough to try, but not yet industry-leading.
