Teriffic!
PRUnderground has been more than helpful as I've used their service over the last few years. I'm grateful that they are accommodating and mindful that I'm a small business owner.
PROSPRUnderground allows me to provide my clients with an impressive option they might not normally have easy access to. Put it this way, it ups the impressiveness of my service to have PRUnderground for press release distribution thanks to their ability to tap Google for coverage. As a bonus, the site is easy to navigate and customer service is always on board to help.
CONSTopic restrictions are a bit stringent which can lessen incoming revenue. That said, I tend to agree with their topic restrictions and think it helps keeps the site clean overall.

If you know what you're doing, it's the best tool out there to distribute your clients' news!
My overall experience w/PRU has been sensational.
PROSFast. Easy. Intuitive. Inexpensive. Superb customer service.
CONSIt would be great if the media outlets that are among the automatic pickups could be regionally selectable, depending upon the location of the client whose news is being distributed. Also, some bigger name national outlets would be nice to be included in the automatic pickups.
Reasons for switching to PR Underground
Too costly and not worth the extra expenditure (compared to PRU).

Great to get the word out
It's an easy format to share press releases and ensure that several media organizations pick-up and share the story.
CONSUnsure if the media outlets are respected and if they are relevant to our industry. We've not seen much come from post-announcement.
Reason for choosing PR Underground
Cheaper and easy to get going quickly.

Great product, great price

PROSVery easy to use with great customer service. Plus, the price is better than most other distribution tools on the market.
CONSThere seem to be slightly more topic restrictions for releases which can be frustrating for clients.
Reason for choosing PR Underground
Cheaper and easier to use for one-off projects.

Exceptional PR Distribution Service
My experience has been great, response time and distribution is extremely efficient.
PROSThe reporting and clipping feature are my favorites. PR Undergeound also services press releases via Cison and provide real-time reports up to 30 days after the distribution.
CONSThe product delivers exactly what it promises, expeditiously.

Terrific PR Tool At An Even Better Price
Overall I would have to give PR Underground a near-perfect score. Their pricing is fair, their interface is manageable and their customer service is terrific.
PROSWe are a full-service digital marketing agency that has had issues with other press release distribution companies in the past. We switched over to PR underground a couple of years ago and have never looked back. The fair and straightforward pricing is incredibly hard to pass up, and their customer service is terrific. Also there, reporting is also beneficial to an agency like us as we can easily send that report to our clients and show them where their press releases being published.
CONSThe backend of PR Underground can be a little bit confusing at times but it is way better than some of the other alternatives we have used in the past.
Reasons for switching to PR Underground
That back end was confusing and sloppy.

The most effective and economical form of promotion
We promote a series of food industry clients and to reach our audience we have been able to showcase their products with PR Underground. Return on our releases through PR have been higher than using our Eblast platforms.
PROSThe best part is that the reach is so much better than we can do on our own. The software is easy to use and very intuitive. We are able to accomplish our SEO goals and promotional goals in one shot!
CONSThe sofware handles all our needs and SEO requirements

A great value and an intuitive UI
Overall, I am very pleased with the service.
PROSI run a small PR firm. I use PR Underground when I need PR News Wire distribution. I have found the software to be an amazing value. They get you the distribution you need for a great price. It's infinitely easier than dealing directly with PR News Wire - they take the complexity out of that process. The interface is intuitive and easy to use, once you learn it.
CONSThe process of distribution was a little difficult to learn at first. Now that I know how to do it, it's super easy.
Reasons for switching to PR Underground
PR Underground is simpler to use and they offer a great value, vs. PR News Wire, where you're on a constant upsell battle that ends up with surprise extra charges.

PR Underground Usefulness
Overall the program was good, but would have been better with additional avenues for feedback after a release was sent out. Everything else was fairly smooth and easy to use.
PROSFunctionality and layout was good, ease of use and customer support were also helpful.
CONSFeedback on the releases sent out. There was no real way to gauge whether the press release helped outreach or sales numbers.
Reason for choosing PR Underground
Details on what was done, how it was done, and the number of avenues for outreach were the main factors.

Great value; easy to use
I like how easy it is to set up an account and submit a press release. Besides their syndication network, we got one of our releases picked up organically by an industry publication which was all that we wanted. Much cheaper than most other wire services out there.
CONSNot all releases are picked up organically, but I guess this happens with any wire service out there.

Best Press Release Service Overall
PR Underground are the best in their space.
PROSThe price and reach. No competitors are as low priced and allow me to deliver as much value to my clients.
CONSNo significant cons. I do wish the platform allowed crypto-related press releases, hopefully that is something they will consider in the future.

Great service and so much more reasonable than many of its competitors
Very favorable. We don't use it often, 3-4 times a year perhaps. It's easy to use. I just upload our press release, tweak it a bit and send it. Takes maybe 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
PROSEasy to use, reasonable price, good customer service when I needed help. Reached the specific demographics I wanted to reach
CONSNone to speak of. Perhaps it could allow us to include more links. I don't remember to tell you the truth.
Reason for choosing PR Underground
Cost, ease of use. Good recommendation for a PR peer. Efficient.

It's good for the budget minded company.
PR Underground is a good deal. If I want to get a press release live, it is the best/cheapest option. I've found about the same coverage as the more expensive companies.
PROSThis software is very easy to use. It doesn't take much time to set up the newsroom with all of the company information that will be reused for all future releases. When you go back in to schedule a new release you just have to do a couple quick steps, a couple copy & pastes and it is done.
CONSThe software itself I don't have any issues with.
Reason for choosing PR Underground
The other products are overpriced.

My Little Secret!
We get the public attention we need when we need it.
PROSWe do PR like the pro’s by using PR Underground. It’s the tool we use to jumpstart PR and the the attention of other media outlets. There is no downside to appearing in over 80 news outlets, including on major media brands. PR Underground is inexpensive, easy to use, and gets results. I hate sharing secrets like this but entrepreneurs have to stick together.
