Newswire Pros and Cons

The pricing and distribution is very clear. It was really easy to set up and so fast. We were on an insanely short timeline and couldn't use our old vendor at the last minute. Newswire was a fantastic solution and we plan to use them going forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little pricier than some other news services and it was a little confusing to figure out how you are supposed to fill out the company profile stuff to get it onto the release. But it wasn't super difficult I just didn't realize I need to do that step until I was at the very end and planning to release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using Newswire makes getting a message out very simple and to all of the right people. I had been very uncerrtain about using Newswire when trying to share a nation-wide message regarding our product. But the ease of use and then the number of placements we received made me feel super confident about making this choice moving forward. Now it's something we use frequently and continue to get the same results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am sometimes solicited by other companies who know that I've seen a release via newswire. Not sure if that is anything they can fix? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Newswire gives you real-time analytics of your press release along with a wide variety of options for further promoting your company or brand. Newswire is user friendly and offers their clients a personal assistant who answers questions and an in house editing staff around the clock. We've used them frequently for several press releases for 2 companies we own and even with a National wire release, we've been contacted by top level executives from Paris to Dubai who've read our content without purchasing further world-wide contacts or promotion.

Following up extra promotional marketing strategy tools or discounts on future press releases would be a nice addition for loyal clients such as ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

wide distribution network, generally pretty easy to use and set up, and the out-of-the-box analytics / reporting are sufficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing tiers means that some key features are restricted for those on a budget Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a public relations consultant using Newswire for my clients, I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. The customer service is outstanding, always responsive and eager to help. The software is incredibly easy to use, making the process of distributing press releases smooth and efficient. The turnaround time is consistently A+, ensuring our news reaches the right audience promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Depending on the volume and frequency of press releases, the pricing did add up, and this was unappealing as an agency who mostly services smaller businesses or nonprofits with limited budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Newswire is a decent press release distribution service. It's user-friendly, which is great, and they have a wide network so your news can reach a lot of people. I also like that they have different pricing plans, so you can find one that fits your budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not the cheapest, but they at least have better service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were exploring alternatives to the olden wire services out there, and decided to give Newswire a shot after reading several reviews, and comparisons. We wanted something that was easy enough to set up, but that also enabled us to quickly get a press release published, without having to jump through many hoops or go through bouts of editorial.

As we'd used other wire services in the past, we quickly realised that not only were they less flexible and more expensive, the returns were not at the same level of what we got. We got the traction we wanted, and then some. Without exaggeration, we got a press release delivered and published within 2 hours after submitting it, without much hassle, and with close to no interaction needed (that's a plus for us).

All in all, we were very satisfied with the change and with Newswire, will definitely use again in the near future -- will make it our weapon of choice, and will try different, more encompassing packages moving forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We experienced no particular downsides, but would love to have a better projection of the reach for each of the packages available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Update: I recently used Newswire again to publish another press release and the entire process was incredibly smooth and intuitive. The learning curve felt short, as compared to my first time using the platform, I felt that navigating through the process this time around was even easier. Shout out to their customer support for being always available.

We recently switched to Newswire for our Press release needs, and so far, we've been happy with the outcomes. Through its large distribution network, our PR was able to get decent exposure and visibility. As for the platform itself, I've found it to be very intuitive and straight forward. I also like the fact that the platform is more than just a "publish and forget" engine. I can track the distribution of my press releases, and receive data points such as the number of pickups, views, and clicks. This is something that we were not able to achieve with our previous PR distributor. The dashboard is neat and provides an overview of the status of our PR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that comes to my mind. It works as intended Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Newswire explained the metrics well and offered helpful strategy tips. Their platform is easy to use, making it easy to publish and distribute our press release, as well as get stats on our press release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first person I talked to didn't seem interested in the call. She did provide good information, but she seemed distracted. She was not dressed professionally for a business video call. We all have our off days, but I would have preferred if she just rescheduled the meeting. The next rep I had a call with was much better. He was also quick to follow up with me when I had questions and ensure I didn't let me credits expire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful thing that Newswire does is package options for specific markets which makes it simpler for us to help our agency clients get their press on the most relevant sites for their audience. It makes it very easy to choose what will work best for each of them, no matter their industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't encountered any major downsides of working with Newswire, except that the part of the service we like the most, the specific placements, is sometimes cost-prohibitive for smaller businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
