PR.com vs. Prowly

I often recommend PR.com to clients on a budget. There are some organizations, like non-profits, or very small businesses I work with who just don't have the money to spend on a pricier press release distribution service like Businesswire. For those clients, PR.com is a good alternative. You can use the free version - or elect to spend a little money to include hyperlinks, increase distribution, and so on. But there are options - and that is a good thing.

Unlike other workflow management services, Prowly is generally more advanced when it comes to the process of modifying workflows according to the needs of the group, and therefore we recommend using it to work with large teams. This makes it easier to ensure that the right work is being done. Thanks to its editing facilities, it is also useful for press teams.

Incentivized

• Bad customer service [in my experience].
• One-sided PR.

• Prowly is a useful service in many areas that focus mostly on working remotely when it comes to groups, allowing to manage the workflow in the human resources area, or the management of these same workflows through manual configuration tools to focus on different departments.

Incentivized

• Suggest offering administrators more control over when releases are distributed
• Lower premium pricing for high frequency administrators

Incentivized

• Several of the functions that Prowly allows us to implement regarding public relations do not allow us to properly distribute the information through various channels, as in the case of its integration with some social networks, with which we can not even make mentions, which would be positive to work better in the area of community management.

I think PR.com offers a viable alternative to smaller businesses or nonprofit clients on a budget. When I tell some of those clients it will be hundreds - or even thousands - of dollars to distribute a press release on a service like Business Wire, I can feel them cringe. PR.com offers a free option - and also offers very low-cost options to boost the distribution, include live hyperlinks and so on - if clients do have a little $ to spend on that, they can. But they can choose. The bigger services are really cost-prohibitive for the smaller businesses.

Incentivized

• Negative impact [in my experience].
• Wasted our time.

• If ROI is concerned, our group remains satisfied with the current earning capacity, so Prowly could turn out to be one of the software services with more guaranteed monetary benefits at different stages, depending mostly on the type of strategy we want to use to work with and the plan we choose.
