PR Newswire is a press release distribution service, which is fundamentally different from an online publishing platform like Medium. While it offers content distribution and some tools for creating press releases, it does not provide a rich text editor for long-form articles, a recommendation engine for readers, or monetization models based on reader engagement. Its primary function is to disseminate news for businesses, not to host and monetize independent writers' content. Therefore, it does not align with the core 'must-have' features of the Medium concept. It does, however, offer social sharing and search/discovery features for the press releases it distributes.
I've been using Alternative A for 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The pricing is much better and the features are actually more robust than what [Product] offers.
It handles edge cases much better and the API
is actually documented properly.
Check it out at our site.
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
