# Muck Rack

> Muck Rack and Cision sit on opposite sides of a recurring PR software tradeoff. Teams frustrated by stale contact records often favor Muck Rack's journalist-centered database and workflow, while organizations that need PR Newswire's distribution infrastructure often favor Cision. The choice is less binary than it used to be: Muck Rack added in-platform distribution through GlobeNewswire in May 2025, while Cision says its own database is human-curated and continually updated. The practical buying lesson is to test both products against the work that fails most often, not the longest feature checklist.
