We compare the best determined Baade-Wesselink (BW) period-luminosity (PL) relation for 100 galactic Cepheids to the PL relation derived for 32 open cluster and association Cepheids by the ZAMS-fitting method. Eighteen stars in common lead to the conclusion that BW and ZAMS-fitting distances can agree to better than 0.1 mag, after proper allowance of systematic effects in both methods.
