The short version

  • Only Artifact has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Artifact wound down in early April 2024. Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger closed it, saying the market opportunity was not large enough to keep investing; GlobeNewswire globeNewswire's own homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 31 December 2021 stated 'Intrado Digital Media Announces Rebrand to Notified,' describing itself as part of the Notified PR platform alongside media monitoring and PR measurement tools; no per-release or subscription pricing is disclosed, only a request-a-demo CTA
  • They diverge on capability: Artifact covers AI recommendations, GlobeNewswire covers Press release distribution.

  • Yahoo acquired the personalisation technology and folded it into Yahoo News, so the app itself is not coming back
  • The founders stayed only in an advisory capacity through the transition

GlobeNewswire

  • GlobeNewswire's own homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 31 December 2021 stated 'Intrado Digital Media Announces Rebrand to Notified,' describing itself as part of the Notified PR platform alongside media monitoring and PR measurement tools; no per-release or subscription pricing is disclosed, only a request-a-demo CTA
