As announced on November 26, 2007, PR Leap has discontinued its free service after four and one half years. The decision was not easy, but after much consideration we decided a change in course was the best thing for PR Leap.
When we launched PR Leap in June of 2003, there was only PR Newswire, Business Wire, Market Wire, PRWeb and a few other players. After PRWeb discontinued there free service a year ago, we experienced a boom in new members seeking free distribution. In addition, a slew of new sites offering free distribution opened shop overnight. So for all of 2007, we found ourselves working hard at filtering out all the spam from quality press releases, which left little time for developing new features and distribution channels for PR Leap.
After much debate, we realized the only way we can compete overtime is by discontinuing our free service and focusing on developing new features and distribution channels.
Although we no longer provide a free service, PR Leap still offers some of the most affordable press release distribution services among the leading wires. Our distributions packages are the following:
