News intelligence built for people who can't miss a story.
PulseAggregator monitors 1000+ news sources around the clock — Reuters, BBC, TechCrunch, Bloomberg, and more — and surfaces the stories that matter to you, filtered by keyword, category, and source.
Why we built this
Media monitoring tools like Meltwater charge upwards of $400/month for features that should be free. We wanted to build something better — a tool that's fast, focused, and doesn't hide the data behind paywalls.
This is for the freelancer who needs to stay ahead of the news cycle, the PR pro who monitors 10+ clients, the academic researcher tracking mentions of a study, and the analyst who needs raw data without the enterprise bloat.
