Key User Insights
	Business Wire	PR Newswire
Considered Both Products	Business Wire Verified User Chose Business Wire I like both services very much, but I prefer the topics, trends, and companies that Business Wire prioritizes. I also like the resources that Business Wire offers such as the tools under the "education" tab. PR Newswire doesn't quite offer the same resources. Overall, I prefer … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Business Wire I prefer Business Wire to PR Newswire because it is easier to navigate and browse by my selected industries. I do not feel the same way about PR Newswire, though I use both to ensure I am gathering as much information as possible in case one site missed news that the other may … Incentivized Helpful? Cindy Arco Public Relations Manager, Florida Region at Comcast (Telecommunications, 10,001+ employees) Chose Business Wire I prefer PR Newswire over Business Wire. I’ve gotten more attentive customer service, better pricing and increased presence with my target media outlets. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Business Wire For the services we generally seek when we engage Business Wire, it's effectively interchangeable with PR Newswire. It becomes a matter of preference. The other news distribution platforms generally don't return as much value in terms of visibility, be it through SEO or … Incentivized Helpful? Jess Messenger Account Supervisor in Marketing at Mulberry Marketing Communications (Public Relations and Communications, 11-50 employees) Chose Business Wire In the past, we've used PR Newswire and I think you get WAY better coverage with Business Wire. We've been using Business Wire for years and have seen great results with the product. In addition to great coverage, our account people have been very accommodating and friendly, … Incentivized Helpful?	Cision Verified User Chose PR Newswire PR Newswire is considered one of the two gold standard newswire services because of its wide reach and high quality reporting. Pricing is almost identical to its biggest competitor, Business Wire, so it winds up being a matter of preference and ease more than anything. We … Incentivized Helpful? Michelle Messenger Garrett Writer/Content Creator/Public Relations Consultant in Marketing at Garrett Public Relations (Public Relations and Communications, 1-10 employees) Chose PR Newswire PRWeb is now owned by the same company (Cision). It's a lower priced service that I frequently recommend to clients on a budget. It allows links, a photo, and so on for a reasonable cost. I used Business Wire for many years, but when I had a bad experience with customer … Incentivized Helpful? Cindy Arco Public Relations Manager, Florida Region at Comcast (Telecommunications, 10,001+ employees) Chose PR Newswire I previously used Business Wire. We made the decision to switch to PR Newswire because we were not satisfied with the pricing and customer support we were getting from Business Wire. PR Newswire gave us a package of news releases, so we save money versus doing them individually … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose PR Newswire PR Newswire is slightly more difficult to use than Business Wire, but it often picks up news that other platforms miss. PR Newswire is my primary newsgathering source, and Business Wire is my secondary. Used together, I think I'm able to cover all the bases. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose PR Newswire We looked at changing due to the price of PR Newswire but were not as impressed with the other services to risk leaving. We have a great relationship with our account rep at PR Newswire and overall, had not had any major issues in the 5+ years we've been using them. Incentivized Helpful? Richard Angeloni Director of Integrated Marketing Communciations in Marketing at Brown & Toland Physicians (Hospital & Health Care, 201-500 employees) Chose PR Newswire We did do some research before selecting PR Newswire a number of years ago, and we saw that PR Newswire was certainly an industry leader and that the pricing was for the most part competitive with other companies. Ultimately, we choose PR Newswire because the dashboard is very … Incentivized Helpful?
