media monitoring for the digital age

about us

origins and values


Cutbot was originally designed to meet a single real-life need: a robust and efficient online media monitoring system for a busy press office working on a very limited budget.

People who received those press briefings then started asking if they could use the same system, and so the business was born. Since then, we’ve kept refining the service we offer to meet the needs of our clients, so tell us if you need a new feature.

If we think other clients would find it useful, we’ll develop it as soon as we can and we won’t charge you. If it’s something that’s just for you – for example, to link our system to custom software you already run – we’ll give you a quote and keep it as affordable as possible.

Our aim is to provide media monitoring that saves you time, saves you money, and allows you to keep your colleagues or supporters informed with a first-class briefing, branded exactly the way you want it. Cutbot is an associate member of the Scottish Social Enterprise Coalition and a full member of the Federation of Small Businesses. We offer substantial discounts for FSB members, social enterprises, charities and the public sector.

There are no hidden fees for important aspects of our service, such as limits on the numbers of searches you can run or recipients you can send emails to. If you pay for media monitoring, you get our full service, including one-to-one advice on how to get the most out of it, whenever you need it. If for any reason you no longer require our service, we won’t make you wait until the end of a contract, and we’ll export all your data for you to take away.
