BuzzSumo

Content research and media intelligence tool for finding top-performing content, trends, influencers, and journalists.

BuzzSumo helps marketing and PR teams find what content and topics are performing well in a given niche, who the relevant influencers and journalists are, and how competitors' content is being shared and covered. Core features include content and question discovery, trending-topic feeds, a journalist and media outreach database with coverage reporting, and a YouTube content analyzer on higher tiers. It is sold in four named monthly plans that scale by seat count, number of saved alerts, and feature set, from single-user content research up to a 30-seat enterprise plan with RSS feed sync and beta feature access; all plans besides Enterprise offer a discount for annual billing.
