Vokolla vs ACCESS Newswire (Accesswire): pricing, plans and how you buy

What ACCESS Newswire is and who it is built for

ACCESS Newswire presents itself as PR software built around one subscription: press release distribution through its wholly owned wire (AP News, Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg Terminal and 500+ outlets), media monitoring and alerts, social monitoring, a media database with unlimited search, pitching credits for journalist outreach and standard analytics on every release. An advanced AI-visibility upgrade is offered at checkout.

Its own page describes the audience as mid-market PR teams that want platform tools without enterprise pricing.

What ACCESS Newswire publishes about its prices

Three subscription plans, priced per month. Each has one release a month, and each can be upgraded to up to three releases a month.

Billing can be monthly, quarterly or annual; the page says quarterly saves 10% and annual saves 20%. Twelve months of the Budget plan is US$11,040 at the monthly rate and US$8,832 with the annual saving, for twelve releases plus the media database, monitoring and pitching tools, so it is a different purchase from paying for a release.

How you buy from ACCESS Newswire

Online: each plan has a “Buy Now” button, and the page promises you can start the same day. You choose monthly, quarterly or annual billing. There is no quote step for the subscriptions.

It is a subscription, so a one-off announcement means choosing the billing period carefully. The pricing page lists no free release.

ACCESS Newswire and Vokolla side by side

If distribution is what you need, twelve Brand Starter releases at US$69 come to US$828 a year, and twelve Global Reach releases at US$129 come to US$1,548. Both are public prices; neither needs a subscription.

What a press release does for your business

If you publish news regularly, each release adds a dated page to what people find when they search your brand, and a steady record is easier for buyers, partners and AI assistants to read than a single announcement.

A Global Impact release for a brand in our own group (19 October 2026) was published on Yahoo Finance, Business Insider’s Markets Insider and The Globe and Mail, and all of those pages were still online 16 days later. Rankings and AI answers depend on many factors, so we report what we saw rather than promise it; the guide to how distribution works shows what to check in any report.
