I have used Accesswire for over 3 years now and I can honestly say it is not only easy and quick to publish but the customer support is always available and has always been able to fix any issues I had when I was 1st learning the system. As a content creator and marketing professional I use Accesswire monthly to help promote my client's global new releases, local announcements and so much more at a GREAT price!

Pros

Using Accesswire's dashboard to set up my content for publishing is fast and easy. There is no guesswork and every step of the way is available to be confirmed before moving to the next step. I especially LOVE that I can save my draft to review before publishing and if I have any questions their customer service is always available.

Cons

There is one problem I have when loading images. I am not able to see them in my draft but when I send them to be published they always look great. Support is also available to help if needed but I have become familiar with the way the program works and find it easy to adapt to after the 1st couple of posts.

[Cision](https://www.capterra.com/p/129611/Cision/)

Cision makes you buy bundles, their pricing is high and their customer service took multiple days to get back to me. The publishing timeline was fast IF you did not need help but the system is not easy to use when you get started.

I found Accesswire to be a great alternative to more expensive international wire services and I think their targeting features are superior to the competition

Pros

I was looking for a more cost-effective alternative to Businesswire for international wire distributions and found it with Accesswire. Customer service was excellent and the results were outstanding.

Cons

I think the reporting features on release pick-up could use improvement and instructions on translations could be clearer

Reasons for choosing ACCESSWIRE

Price and service were superior to Businesswire, IMO

Avoid, they don't care about their customers.

Pros

It's easy to use and it has a sort of DYI platform where you can copy/paste your Press Release and quickly choose the type of package to buy.

Cons

We bought a package that included GUARANTEED distribution on Yahoo Finance, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and we only got distribution on unknown websites. After asking several times to fix this and after that our team spent time chatting/speaking with 3 people, after 3 days (3 days in the news industry is a lot) we have still never received an answer, nor a fix nor a refund. 2/10 service.

Review source

Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.
