Overall Satisfaction with Newswire
We use Newswire to distribute press releases. It is easy to use, and the pricing is reasonable compared to competitors. It does not have as wide a reach as other distributors but we are still able to get press releases into the networks that are most important to us and at a lower price than others offer.
Pros
- Ease of posting releases
- Speed of approval
- Simple UI
Cons
- Could offer wider distribution
- Increased brand awareness
- Referral traffic
Newswire provides a good mix of affordability and reach. Some of the bigger players have slightly more reach, but you pay much more to put out releases. Some of the smaller services have much smaller networks and though the price is lower, you don't get much out of it. Newswire is a good middle ground.

Evaluating Newswire and Competitors
Yes - PRdistribution.com was replaced by Newswire. Newswire offered a better network and was easier to use. The price points were similar for the two products, but we found that Newswire was the superior offering. We were very pleased to have made the switch and we have used Newswire since that time.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
Price was important for us, and Newswire offered the best value at that price point. Compared to other platforms at a similar cost, it is also a very easy-to-use platform that does not take a long time to get comfortable using, so there is value almost immediately upon signing up.
I would not.
Newswire Implementation
- Implemented in-house
Change management was minimal
- There were no issues

No, it was not necessary.
There were several instances when I had questions about press releases that were scheduled for future times, and they were also quick to respond.
