EIN Presswire vs Newswire

Choose EIN Presswire if you are a non-profit or agency that wants control over release timing and review. Choose Newswire if you are a founder who writes and places your own first announcement. Both are bought one release at a time, with a one-time payment.

A communications lead timing an announcement around an event needs control over when it goes out. EIN Presswire schedules a release for a set time or holds it under embargo. Its editors also review the text before distribution. Links can sit in the body of the release, not only in the boilerplate. One limit is that purchased credits stay valid for a year.

A founder who writes and places their own news has different needs. Newswire allows unlimited words and images in each release, so long announcements need no trimming. The same platform also holds a release optimizer, a media suite and news monitoring. One limit is that regulatory disclosures belong elsewhere, because its owner handles them in a separate financial distribution business.

Among EIN Presswire's users, praise goes to helpful support for first-time buyers, affordable packages and an easy platform. They complain about releases rejected without a clear reason, little reach beyond the vendor's partners, and credits that expire or refunds that are denied. Newswire's reviewers like a quick, simple submission process and responsive staff. They complain that results feel thin for the cost, that add-ons raise the price, and that cancelled releases get no refund.

EIN Presswire tells of a software firm that issues weekly releases to win links and referral traffic. Each release brings links back to its web pages, and several get picked up as articles on major news sites. One Newswire customer, an online marketing agency, used it to reach audiences beyond industry convention attendees for an engineering and manufacturing client. The agency reports outside exposure for the client and can track engagement from start to finish.
