"Easy Reach and User-friendly, but Limited Customization"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Newswire?

What I love most about Newswire is its impressive reach and how effortlessly it helps me connect with millions. The platform is incredibly user-friendly. Just upload your press release, and you’re set. Their customer service is also excellent, and I really appreciate the transparency in pricing, which makes budgeting simple and stress-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newswire?

There are a few unexpected fees that aren’t always clear upfront like charges for adding images or embedding videos. Customizing the appearance of the press release is also somewhat limited, with few formatting options available. After submission, the reporting didn’t feel entirely accurate or comprehensive.

"Very helpful to spread the news"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Newswire?

We used this service multiple times to send out press releases, and each time we received strong media coverage. I appreciate the ability to target our distribution, allowing us to send news to particular industries, regions, and media audiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newswire?

There is no assurance that the media will pick up your story or that it will receive any attention, and I also find the price somewhat high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Would not recommend - Reach has deteriorated"
0.5/5
What do you like best about Newswire?

The site is pretty easy to use. You can quickly load, review, and publish press releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newswire?

Their prices have gone up quite a bit over the last couple of years while distribution has fallen significantly. For the last release we used them for, we paid more but the distribution was around half of what we had gotten before. Why pay more and get less eyeballs on your press release? Just doesn't make sense when other services deliver much broader reach. We unfortunately won't be using them again in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid press release distribution platform"
4/5
What do you like best about Newswire?

I like the self-serve aspect of the platform. It gives me the flexibility to navigate and manage press releases on my own. The process of choosing the right distribution channels for a specific release is straightforward, making it easy to tailor each announcement to reach the most relevant audiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newswire?

Given Newswire’s has been a leader in the industry for a while, I feel that their pricing is on the higher end compared to other options in the market. I’ve come across alternative solutions that present themselves as being more cost-effective. However, I haven’t had the chance to use them directly to evaluate how they compare in terms of value and overall results. It would be helpful if Newswire could better highlight or communicate the unique value that justifies the premium compared to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way to manage press releases distribution"
4/5
What do you like best about Newswire?

I really appreciate Newswire’s robust multimedia packages, which make our news storytelling much more engaging. Compared to other platforms, it offers the most comprehensive tools for visual content. It also simplifies the process of delivering formal announcements, especially thanks to its established network of official distribution channels and circuits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newswire?

Journalists don’t actively monitor wire services for stories, so unless you’re a publicly traded company or sharing major news, the reach feels superficial. On top of that, the costs are quite high, and the SEO benefits are far less significant than they used to be, with most links being ignored or nofollowed by search engines.
