EIN Presswire vs openPR

Choose EIN Presswire if you want a release timed for a set date and aimed at a country or state. Choose openPR if you want a release emailed to trade journalists in German speaking markets. EIN Presswire is bought as one-time packages, while openPR starts with a free plan and then offers monthly or one-time paid plans.

Teams whose news must reach well known outlets turn to EIN Presswire, which sends every release to AP News and Bloomberg Terminals. It aims a release at a country or a US state, and it can hold one until a set time. Every package reaches the same network, including Nexstar television and radio station sites. The service has one limit of its own: releases can be rejected or flagged as non-compliant, sometimes with no clear reason.

A company that wants its news in both German and English can use openPR, which runs a portal in each language under one account. The service also emails releases to trade journalists sorted by beat. The portal is built mainly for German speaking markets, and extra reach is bought on top of a basic submission.

Among EIN Presswire's users, praise goes to phone and email support for newcomers, affordable packages next to big newswires, and reports on where a release ran. Complaints cover releases rejected without a clear reason, expired credits and denied refunds. openPR's reviewers like the simple process, the friendly support and the international audience it gives a release. They also appreciate that publishing costs nothing and the price is fair.

One EIN Presswire customer, a software firm, issues weekly releases to win SEO links and referral traffic. Its releases gain links to the company's web pages and get picked up as articles by major national news and tech outlets. A marketing team that wants a product launch announcement in German and English needs both languages handled in one place. openPR fits because it translates a release for the other language.
