Vokolla vs Newswire.com: pricing, plans and how you buy

What Newswire.com is and who it is built for

Newswire.com sells self-serve distribution packages built around named outlets. Its pricing page leads with AP News, Yahoo Finance, Morningstar, Nexstar and Benzinga, and describes its plans as simple, targeted and cost-effective. The entry plan is described as ideal for local businesses and startups; the top plan as suited to high-impact campaigns and launches.

Its footer lists “Our Brands” as ACCESS Newswire, Newswire and PressRelease.com, and the ACCESS Newswire page covers that company’s subscription product. Newswire.com is sold per release.

What Newswire.com publishes about its prices

Three national plans and one state plan, each priced per release. The page states that these prices cover unlimited words and images.

The reach figures are Newswire.com’s own estimates; each plan’s outlet list is on its page.

How you buy Newswire.com

Self-serve: each plan has a “Select Plan” button that starts checkout, and the state plan asks you to choose a state first. The page says it handles everything from writing to distribution, with no retainers.

Its Content PRO, Media PRO and Total PRO subscriptions have no price on the pages we read, and point to “Schedule a Demo”. The release plans above are the ones with published prices.

The outlets differ, so check each list.

What a press release does for your business

A release reaches readers who do not follow your own channels yet. It is your text, under your name, with your link, on a dated page that is easy to share with a customer or a partner.

Of the pages from our paid English releases of 8 to 25 October 2026 that we could check, 98% were still online when we re-checked on 4 November 2026, up to 27 days after publication. 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.
