PRWeb and PR Newswire are both press release distribution services managed by a huge public relations company called Cision. Their plans and prices, however, vary from each other. PR Newswire is a high-end press distribution service with attractive packages but is costly when compared to PRWeb which is a more affordable service but with a limited distribution list. A review of their plans and prices will help to ascertain which service to go for.
Cision PRWeb does not require any membership fee for its services. It has four tiers of services namely, the Basic, standard, advanced and premium packages in the order of services and costs. The basic press release distribution package cost $99 and takes your press release to their website; the standard press release distribution package costs $159 and has a few added services to the basic package. The advanced plan costs $249 and offers a service that is a little higher than the basic and the standard plans. The premium package which costs $369 is the only one with a promise of distributing to major news outlets. However, even the premium package is limited as it distributes to only 150 media sites.
PR Newswire is a press release distribution company, though owned by the same Cision but with better services, with regards to a distribution list. Its packages are higher in costs and may not favor any business owner with a little fund or on a tight budget.
PR Newswire requires an annual membership fee. A press release from PRNewswire costs $775. Even though this sounds high, a press release distribution by PR Newswire guarantees a reach to premium news outlets. They also make your press release to be picked up by major search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo. This helps to broaden the reach of a company’s publicity.
However, it is worthy of note that there is another press distribution company which does exactly all these services and even more at a cheaper rate. Press Release Jet is that company that assures distribution to over 375 sites at only a surprising fee of $99 and yet does not require an annual membership fee. They even help your press release get to the top of Google.
Send your press release now to Press Release Jet and relax because you will get more quality services than you bargained for.
