What do you like best about Pressat?

To use a popular cliche/ads slogan "it does what is says on the tin" PressAT advertises free press release for charities and for a number of years, they have delivered just that for our small NGO, Hope Spring Water. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pressat?

I am sure PressAT is not a perfect company, but then again what company is? However, in my own personal interaction with them, there is nothing I dislike about them. They are perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pressat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Affordable press release distribution for a small organisation like ours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pressat?

An easy to use platform that does what is says. Helped us promote our non-profit theatre company (Ashtead Players) and great communications during the process. So many PR sites are out of date and unusable, Pressat is modern, slick and very worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pressat?

Nothing, the site is easy to use and the process is swift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pressat solving and how is that benefiting you?

An easy to use site, that helped us as a non-profit organisation and so will reccommend to comms collegues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pressat?

Managing and uploading press releases is very user friendly with the abilily to upload a number of images and media. Should you have budget there are additional paid for options too. Media coverage has been picked up through sending through the Pressat service and that it is free is a real bonus for a local charity. I always upload to Pressat when releasing press releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pressat?

Within the parameters of using it as a free service there isn't anything I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pressat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Enabling the distribution of press releases to a wider news engines when there is no budget available otherwsie to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pressat?

Pressat distributed our latest announcement for our new product launch a couple of months back.

We wasn't really expecting any pickup from the distribution as we already used a newswire previously with zero results but multiple reporters got back to us from some significant outlets in the US and UAE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pressat?

Not much we can say on this occasion, the price was cheaper than the previous newswire. Website is a bit old and the live chat was off but other than those couple of minor things it was okay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pressat solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a small startup we don't have any connections, public relations team or previous media pickup to gain coverage so we used Pressat for exactly that, to reach out to targeted journalists with an pitch to use our product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pressat?

Pressat provided exceptional media outreach that resulted in coverage across both national and sector-specific publications, exceeding my initial expectations.

Several journalists from UK publications followed up with us.

Their offerings are competitively priced, cheaper than PR Newswire and the available add-ons offer tailored solutions for press release distribution.

Furthermore, their customer service is commendable. All my inquiries were addressed promptly via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pressat?

The platform is a little old-school, could do with a new design but it was very easy to use and basic enough for anyone to submit a press release within a few minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pressat solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wanted to reach all the technology/ computing and IT journalists across publications, newspapers, radio and TV within the United Kingdom. Pressat helped me reach this complex and vast audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Looking on google after the titles was 4 article on unknown websites, I mean for 680£ with the promises that will be listed especially on Nasdaq and London stocks network, is way to much, this is a scam, make a website advertising services that they don't manage or have access to them, put your article in some unknown websites and charge you as a dedicated service. Would prefer a refund but not even that you don't have the option on their website, will make sure to spred this fake company all over the internet, forget about yahoo business, google and other places, there are websites that offer this with tracked links of the job done on over 200 media press channels for only 50 dollars!!! would suggest refunding immediately otherwise will also report you as a fraud and to financial obudsman.
