VERDICT

Should I use Pr (pr.co)?

PR newsroom, press release and media outreach software (category inferred) - pr.co

Depends. Buy only if PR is an ongoing function needing a hosted newsroom and press workflow. Occasional pitchers and small teams should stick to email or cheaper DIY tools.

Confidence

Low. Based on 9 usable public sources; most are category-level — no direct pr.co reviews or pricing found.
