Distribution packages from $49 and AP News placement bring wire-service reach to companies priced out of legacy newswires.<\/div>\n

UNITED STATES – August 25, 2026 – <\/strong>Press release distribution service PR Gun today highlighted its small-business lineup: distribution packages starting at $49, with guaranteed placement on Google-indexed news sites and financial feeds, and AP News placement available for companies that need wire-service credibility.<\/p>\n

Legacy newswires routinely price a single national release in the high hundreds of dollars, which puts sustained PR out of reach for early-stage companies. PR Gun’s model prices core distribution at $49, with AP News placement from $149, so a company can publish consistently rather than once.<\/p>\n

The company pairs distribution with published research drawn from its 140,000-release database, covering headline length, release structure, and timing, available in its research library<\/a>. Buyers comparing options can consult PR Gun’s own guide to press release distribution services<\/a>, which reviews the market including services PR Gun does not sell.<\/p>\n

Distribution can be ordered directly at prgun.com; guidance on preparing a release for submission is published in the how to write a press release<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n

The pricing gap the company is addressing is structural. Legacy wire services price around the assumption of a communications department with a retainer: annual memberships, per-word surcharges, and add-on fees that push a single national release into four figures. A small business with four newsworthy moments a year confronts the same fixed costs as a Fortune 500 issuer, and most respond by issuing nothing at all. Flat per-release pricing changes the calculation: at $49, a release becomes a routine marketing action rather than an annual event.<\/p>\n

PR Gun’s research library exists for the same reason. The company’s analysis of more than 140,000 releases shows the market’s most common failures — headlines too long for search display, missing boilerplates, missing images, releases double the length journalists read — are all correctable by the issuer at no cost. Distribution puts a release in front of newsrooms; the free research is intended to make sure what arrives is worth running. Together they are aimed at the same customer: the company whose news deserves coverage but whose budget was never the reason it went uncovered.<\/p>\n

Orders are fulfilled through the company’s standard editorial workflow: releases are reviewed for formatting against the same benchmarks the research documents, distributed to the selected network, and confirmed to the customer with placement links once live, so a first-time issuer sees exactly where the release ran.<\/p>\n
