Cision sends the story. Rolli verifies what's real.

Not fully — they solve different problems. Cision is a PR distribution platform with a journalist database, press release wire, and earned media tracking. Rolli IQ is a narrative intelligence platform that scores whether social amplification is organic or coordinated. Teams that need both use them together. Teams whose primary gap is knowing what's real on social — not media outreach — switch to Rolli.

No. Rolli IQ focuses on social intelligence — monitoring 8+ platforms, detecting coordinated inauthentic behavior, and scoring narrative velocity and authenticity. It does not include journalist outreach tools, media databases, or press wire services. If you need those, Cision or a comparable PR suite is a better fit — and Rolli complements it for the social truth layer.

Rolli IQ adds authenticity scoring — telling you whether a social spike is organic human behavior or coordinated amplification. It detects bot networks, synthetic engagement, and cross-platform coordination patterns in real time. Cision's social monitoring is primarily volume and reach tracking. Rolli tells you whether to respond to what Cision is measuring.

Cision's strength is in the earned media workflow — press release distribution, media contact databases, and journalist relationship management. These are capabilities Rolli does not replicate or replace. Rolli is not a PR distribution platform. It is a narrative intelligence layer that tells your team whether the social conversation around your press coverage is organic or manufactured. Many teams use Cision for distribution and Rolli for intelligence — they solve different problems.
