The news desk that checks its own work.
See how Newsroom compares with an AI chatbot, a news wire, and freelance writers.
| Feature | Newsroom | AI chatbot | News wire | Freelancers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Written in your voice | Set voice, rules, samples | If you prompt it every time | Same story as everyone | If you find the right writer |
| Covers your exact beat | Any beat you name | Any beat you name | Only what the wire covers | Hard to staff niche beats |
| Facts only from sources you pick | Blocked sources never used | Pulls from anywhere | Their reporters’ sources | Up to the writer |
| Every fact checked before it ships | A second AI checks each one | You check it yourself | Their editors | Your editor’s time |
| Pay nothing for failed stories | Held stories cost $0 | Every try costs you | Flat license fee | You pay for the draft |
| Ready for your app | JSON feed and webhooks | Copy and paste | Feeds, on their schedule | Docs and email |
| Cost per story | From 20¢ | Cheap, plus your checking time | Annual contract | Priced per piece |
What you’d do instead.
Newsroom vs. an AI chatbot
A chatbot can write a news story in seconds. It can also invent a number, quote a source that never said it, or copy a paragraph word for word. You won’t know until a reader tells you.
Newsroom writes only from the sources you pick, then a second AI checks every fact before the story reaches you. If a fact can’t be checked, the story is held and you don’t pay for it.
Newsroom vs. a news wire
A wire gives you the same stories every other customer gets, on the topics the wire chooses to cover, under a yearly contract.
Newsroom covers the beat you name, in your voice, from the sources you trust. You pay per story that ships, so a quiet month costs less.
Newsroom vs. freelance writers
Good freelancers are great, and hard to find for niche beats. Every piece still needs an editor, and you pay for drafts you don’t use.
Newsroom writes on demand, checks itself before you see a word, and never bills you for a held story. Keep your writers for the stories only people can tell.
