Best Press Release Distribution Services: What the Wires Charge, and the $97 Press Release We Write for You

By Nic Abelian, founder of AnotherZero

Most businesses pay a wire $120 to $965 for one press release, and then they still have to write it.

That's why AnotherZero writes your press release for you, for a one-time $97, so you can get published and get your "As Seen On" logos. And you won't have to spend $965. In fact, you won't have to write a word.

We sell what the wires sell, just better. And if you want a story about why your company is better than the competition, that's a press feature, in the outlet you choose from over 60, for the same $97.

Wire prices as of October 27, 2026, read on each wire's own pricing page that day.

What's the best press release distribution service?

It's the question we get asked almost daily. Our answer is AnotherZero. Here's how ours is better:

  • The writing is included, so you don't pay a wire extra to write it. eReleases charges $300 more.
  • A better price and more reach. $97, one time. On the wires' own pages, one release runs $120 to $965. Lowest price of any PR firm, guaranteed.
  • Better writing, because we have more data. 15,318+ businesses featured so far.
  • On certain releases, you choose the outlet: AP, NewsBreak or StreetInsider, so you know exactly where it runs.
  • A quicker turnaround. Your first draft arrives in 24–48 hours.
  • Guarantees. We offer unlimited revisions and rewrites, and we have a 100% money-back guarantee. If you're unhappy for any reason, you get a full refund.

And for a story about why your company is better than the competition, there's the press feature, from us too, for the same $97.

Are press releases still worth it?

People often ask us, are press releases still worth it? To which we always respond, absolutely. We sell them every day. If you want to get your business into AI answers, there are press releases for that. If you want a bunch of "As Seen On" logos for your website, there are press releases for that. Press releases will grow any business.

The biggest excuse we hear from people about press releases is that they don't have any news yet. So we tell them they don't need any. We find the angle and get them published. We do it every single day.

Our founder, Nic Abelian, saw what those logos do before he started AnotherZero. At his own company, he added "As Seen On" logos without changing a single ad, and his Google Ads return went from 1.75x to 18.86x. Same ads. New logos.

Press release or press feature: which one fits?

A press release announces something new. A press feature is a story about your company and why it's better than the competition. We sell both, so the only question is which one fits.

AnotherZero press release AnotherZero press feature
What it is Your announcement: something new, or the angle we find for you A story about your company and why it's better than the competition
Who writes it Our team, included Our team, from a 2-minute form: a custom 800–1,000 word article
Where it runs On certain releases, you choose: AP, NewsBreak or StreetInsider The outlet you choose, from over 60
What it gets you A way into AI answers, and "As Seen On" logos for your website Customers reading why you're better, a do-follow backlink from a high-authority news site, and "As Seen On" rights
What it costs $97, one time $97, one time

What actually happens is most customers need convincing before they buy, so they search your name, looking for anyone besides you who has written about your business. A release or a feature gives them something to find.

Pick the one that fits. Either way, we write it, and it's $97.

What should a press release include?

A headline that names your company and the news, a dateline, the facts in the first paragraph, a quote from a named person, a short "About" paragraph and a media contact. An example headline: "[Company] Opens a Second Location in [City]."

Or skip all of it. At AnotherZero, you fill out a 2-minute form after checkout, and our team writes your release for you. No news? We find the angle.

What you get with a $97 press feature

If all this did was put a story about why your business is better than the competition in the outlet you picked, would it be worth $97 to you? But you also get keyword research, a news-site backlink, and "As Seen On" rights, a banner and a social media kit.

  • SEO keyword research, so the article uses the words your customers search.
  • A custom 800–1,000 word article, written for you, so it sounds like your business.
  • Unlimited revisions, and nothing publishes without your approval, so you control every word said about you.
  • Guaranteed publication in the outlet you choose. You'll have the choice to choose from over 60 different outlets, including USA News, Women's Insider, CEO Times, Women's Magazine, New York Weekly, Biz Weekly, Men's Insider, New York Review, and many more.
  • A do-follow backlink from a high-authority news site, indexed by Google.
  • "As Seen On" usage rights, a custom banner and a social media kit, so you can show where you were featured. Here's how to use an "As Seen On" badge.
  • A 2-minute intake form, filled out after checkout.

Your first draft arrives in 24–48 hours. One-time $97, no retainer. See every step on How It Works →

Rather run a press release? It's inside the same $97, and we write it. On certain releases, you choose AP, NewsBreak or StreetInsider.

We have a philosophy here at AnotherZero that says if we can't get you featured, we don't deserve your money. So every $97 feature comes with these guarantees:

  • Love it or it never runs. We offer unlimited revisions and rewrites, and we have a 100% money-back guarantee. If you're unhappy for any reason, you get a full refund.
  • Live in the outlet you choose within 7 days of your approval, or your money back. You choose the outlet you want from over 60 different options, and we have a 100% money-back guarantee. If we can't get you featured in the outlet of your choice, you get a full refund.

AnotherZero has featured 15,318+ businesses and is ranked #123 on the 2026 Inc. 5000.

That's a press feature, in the outlet you choose from over 60, for the same $97.

It's a one-time $97, and we offer unlimited revisions and rewrites, with a 100% money-back guarantee. If you're unhappy for any reason, you get a full refund.

How much does a press release cost?

Business Wire starts at $475 for 400 words and charges more for every 100 words after. ACCESS Newswire sells only monthly plans, from $920 a month. PR Newswire and GlobeNewswire give quotes only. And the writing is often extra: eReleases charges $300 more. AnotherZero's press release is a one-time $97, with the writing included.

Are press releases worth it?

Absolutely. We sell them every day. Press releases are a great way to get your business into AI answers, and one of the best ways to get a bunch of "As Seen On" logos for your website. No news? We find the angle and get you published. Ours come written for you, for a one-time $97.

Can I get a press release if I don't have any news?

Yes. We get clients published with press releases every single day, and when a client has no news, we find the angle. You fill out a 2-minute form, and our team writes it.

Can I choose where my press release runs?

On certain releases, yes. Inside the $97, you can choose AP, NewsBreak or StreetInsider. On a wire, as G2 puts it, "businesses cannot control which outlets or journalists see the press release."

Is a press release the same as a press feature?

No. A press release announces something new. A press feature is a story about your company and why it's better than the competition: a custom 800–1,000 word article, published in the outlet you choose. AnotherZero sells both, and either one is a one-time $97.

Press release or press feature: which one do I need?

The one that fits what you want out there. If you have something new to announce, or you want a way into AI answers and "As Seen On" logos fast, get the press release.

How does PR Newswire work?

You ask for a quote. PR Newswire publishes no price, and its own FAQ says "Costs vary based on distribution scope, geographic reach and additional services such as multimedia, targeting and amplification channels." AnotherZero's price is right on the page: a one-time $97, with the writing included.

Does Business Wire publish its prices?

Yes, for a release on the U.S. local circuit: $475 for 400 words, with longer releases "billed in 100-word increments." At AnotherZero, a press release is a one-time $97, written for you.

How does ACCESS Newswire pricing work now?

It's monthly plans only: Budget $920, National $1,150 and Premium $1,525 a month, each with one release a month. AnotherZero's press release is a one-time $97, with no monthly plan.

Do press releases help SEO and AI answers?

Yes. Press releases are a great way to get into AI answers, because they put your business's name on news sites that search engines and AI tools read when they recommend businesses. Inside our $97, you can choose AP, NewsBreak or StreetInsider. We write it for you.

Does a press feature help SEO and show up in ChatGPT or Google AI answers?

Yes. A feature gives your business two things search engines and AI tools look for: a do-follow backlink from a high-authority news site that Google indexes, and a third-party article that names your business and what you do. Search engines and AI tools lean on third-party validation, and a news article about your business on someone else's site is exactly that.

What's the cheapest way to get in the news?

AnotherZero's $97, one time, for a press release or a feature. Lowest price of any PR firm, guaranteed. The feature runs in the outlet you choose within 7 days of your approval, or your money back. Here are all the ways to get your business in the news, and if Forbes is the goal, how people get featured in Forbes.

Is a press feature the same as media placement?

Yes, it's one kind: an article about your business, in the outlet you chose. Our media placement guide shows how ours works and what it costs.

Can I choose the outlet my feature runs in?

Yes, you pick it. You'll have the choice to choose from over 60 different outlets, including USA News, Women's Insider, CEO Times, Women's Magazine, New York Weekly, Biz Weekly, Men's Insider, New York Review, and many more. It's live in the outlet you choose within 7 days of your approval, or your money back.

How long does a press feature take?

Your first draft arrives in 24–48 hours after the 2-minute form. You revise it as many times as you want, and it's live in the outlet you choose within 7 days of your approval, or your money back.

Can I put "As Seen On" logos on my website?

Yes. The $97 includes "As Seen On" usage rights, a custom banner and a social media kit, and the As Seen On badge comes ready to add to your website. When our founder added "As Seen On" logos at his own company, without changing a single ad, his Google Ads return went from 1.75x to 18.86x. Our guide to the "As Seen On" badge shows where to put it.

Why is AnotherZero only $97?

We publish over 1,000 articles a month, which means direct relationships with editorial teams and rates individual businesses could never access.
