Considered Both Products
Newswire
Chose Newswire
We find NewsWire so much easier to use and it seems to actually get reach. In the past, we didn't seem to get any actual visibility on our releases, but NewsWire shows us who read our release and where.
Chose Newswire
To be honest, they are very similar in many ways. Business Wire, for example, is more focused on business news as opposed to other types of news. Newswire has a more general and broader application. Other news services like Bloomberg are only interested if the company is …
Chose Newswire
They are competitive in pricing and offer similar products. Each platform has their own key features though that they excel in.
Chose Newswire
They're all the same, but Newswire connects with our SAAS tool, making it an easy choice.
Chose Newswire
I am not sure if this is still the case, but I recall that PR Newswire was quite a lot more expensive without justifying the additional spend for our use case.
Chose Newswire
They all seem the same to me, just with varying interfaces and pricing. I went with Newswire just because I've used them in the past and have had a good experience. I am sure Cision is also good as it's an industry leader. The markets are a little varied, too, but I have not …
Chose Newswire
Way more cost-effective for basically the same set of features and capabilities. Newswire has better customer support also.
Chose Newswire
I chose Newswire over PR Newswire because I have had multiple bad experiences with Cision and PR Newswire. The experiences were bad enough and costly enough to our company that I wouldn't go back to anything with them in the future. I found that Newswire was perfect for our …
Chose Newswire
News wire has more publications than PR web, although PR web was cheaper, newswire had a lot more websites on their list
Chose Newswire
We like the support team better. They are better trained and less arrogant than their competitors.
Chose Newswire
I like both services however the Newswire does not require a commitment or large downpayment for a year's worth of press release campaigns. For the small to mid-range business, it is easier to not have a large expense and to be able to get a release out with a short a fast …
Chose Newswire
Newswire is more economical. Cision is kind of viewed as the leader, but for "the rest of us," Newswire makes more sense to enter into earned placements.
Chose Newswire
PR Newswire is good for specific audiences; we use Newswire as part of the marketing channel mix. We found Newswire is more easy to use completed to others and its audience segmentation carters for different audiences and this is great to have another services
Chose Newswire
Newswire is affordable compared to the other products in this segment and very user-friendly. The onboarding process is quick, simple, and smooth and the product is entirely self-serve. Others have strict guidelines for content review and take time and support intervention for …
Chose Newswire
24-7 Press Release was a cheaper option (at least, when I used it), but there wasn't nearly the sort of visibility on the distribution once things were published. PR Newswire had a very extensive process for creating an account, and the last time I worked with them, I had …
Chose Newswire
We have not used another product that's similar to Newswire in the past.
Chose Newswire
Newswire's pricing, performance, and functionality made it an easy decision to choose them over any of its competitors. The customer service they bring to the table just made it even clearer that Newswire is a company we want to partner with for press release distribution.
Chose Newswire
Very different products but both have played important roles in the success of my agency in the past year as we have quickly grown and taken on new clients. All are very user-friendly for all users on my team and are priced well for their offerings. Would recommend all and will …
Chose Newswire
Newswire was the obvious choice for us as it was more cost effective and offered more exposure options for our targeted industry.
Chose Newswire
Newswire is much easier to use and the interface is much more intuative. We always struggled with the targeting in Cision, but that is made simple with Newswire.
Chose Newswire
I've tried a couple similar services and they are all somewhat similar. I think it's easier to target with Newswire. I would use them again.

Issuer Direct Corporation
As a general rule, press releases announcing an event are more effective than product or corporate business deals press releases. This may be because events are people-centered and tend to be one of a kind. The interest in a new product, unless it is an upgrade to an existing product line or service, attracts little attention. There are exceptions; if, for example, there is an outbreak of some pathogen and the company is working on a solution, then interest is higher. News has to be related to current concerns.

Pros
Issuer Direct Corporation
  • Communication via video calls and emails. They were responsive to any questions we had.
  • Provided all the information we needed to make the decision to move forward. They had the materials around what publications and news outlets they could get into for us.

Cons
Issuer Direct Corporation
  • The editorial process was always very hard on our sale releases. Even if we followed the same structure we used to with PR Wire they would flag it as advertorial.
  • The option for video is nice but would be better to actually embed it into a part of the release versus just floating at the bottom.
  • Would be interesting for them to share more industry-specific releases or give the option to only get emails on specific industries. The E-blasts are always too general.

Newswire is simple to use and the pricing is fair. The company's network for press releases is not as large as some competitors but seems to have the best reach at a comparable price point. Newswire also offers quality support for customers, which can be hard to find in this space.

Usability
Issuer Direct Corporation
Simple step-by-step process to get your news out to the world. Easy to understand process and explanation as you go through the steps. Each upgrade does have a charge, but it's pretty visible. Once you get familiar with their platform and systems, it becomes fairly easy to use to get your news published. It's also nice how quickly you are able to get the news out and published in the places you choose.

Any time I’ve had a question or needed assistance, I’ve been able to get in contact with a Newswire representative within a short amount of time. Their attention to customer satisfaction is impeccable, and they definitely go out of their way to ensure they can be of assistance to the best of their ability!

It is a very simple product to get started using, particularly for press releases. I have no used the other functionality so I can't say for sure how easy or difficult that might be, but my guess is that the way the platform is built makes it easy for anybody to get started.

Alternatives Considered
Issuer Direct Corporation
Newswire hands-down beats these other platforms based on their unique price-to-feature-set ratio. We couldn't find a better value and user experience on any of these other platforms when we went through our discovery and evaluation process. All in all, we are very happy with the team and platform at Newswire.

Return on Investment
Issuer Direct Corporation
  • In a new technology area, Newswire has helped us build brand recognition.
  • During the pressures put on Healthcare over the past COVID periods our presence in the Marketplace have been difficult to maintain. Newswire has been key in our efforts.
  • When medical imaging AI tools exploded on the scene three years ago, there were over 150 vendors at conferences. Those that didn't promote with tools like Newswire and now gone.
