Pricing (2026)
✓ Pricing re-verified 12 Nov 2026
eReleases sells press release distribution by the release, not by subscription. Buzz Builder costs $399 and covers 400 words and 1 industry target list. Newsmaker costs $499 and covers 500 words and 2 industry target lists, and the page marks it as the company's number one pick. PR Pro costs $699 and covers 600 words, 3 industry target lists and a direct email send to journalists, bloggers and influencers.
All three include 2 images, editorial review and distribution through PR Newswire. Extras cost more: additional words are $150 per block of 100 words or part of a block, each additional industry list is $150, local saturation is $150, embedding images is $150, embedding a YouTube video is $200, and distribution to a single country is $150 or $1,000 for global. Having eReleases write the release costs $300 when added to a distribution package, with turnaround the page gives as under a week.
The page says first-time customers save 30% and that bulk packages of 2 or more releases are available; we did not see the bulk prices. The page states no refund terms. We did not place an order, so we do not know the tax added. Plans change, so check the live price on their site before you buy.
Category context: Marketing. Across the 32 tools in this category that we researched with a public US-dollar price, the median entry price is $29 a month (lowest paid plan as listed, per seat where the vendor prices per seat). Compare pricing conditions in the Software Cost Atlas →
What the pricing page doesn’t say
Add-ons cost $150 or more each, the page shows no refund terms, and the claims about reach and results are the vendor's own and we did not verify them.
What eReleases does
Press release distribution and writing service for small businesses, sending releases over PR Newswire and to targeted journalist lists.
Higher packages add words, target lists and a journalist email send
The three packages differ by word count, number of industry target lists and, on PR Pro only, the direct email send to journalists. Because each extra word block or list costs $150, a long release aimed at several industries can reach the next package price quickly, so count words and lists before you choose.
How to actually use eReleases
Choose a package on ereleases.com and place the order, then submit your release or add the $300 writing service. The page says the release goes through a two-step editorial review before it is distributed. About two hours after distribution you get a link to a PR Newswire visibility report, and the page says you also get a proof-of-distribution report listing the sites that published it. We did not place an order or send a release, so we cannot say how the review step or the reports work in practice.
Distilled from eReleases's own pricing page, read on 12 November 2026 with research prepared in October 2026. eReleases is an affiliate partner of ours through CJ. We have not used the service ourselves.
eReleases vs HubSpot, side by side
Each column shows the vendor’s own published entry price, read on the date shown. Entry prices can cover different services or units, so check what each one buys. We do not average them into a score.
The eReleases link above is an affiliate link: we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you. The other column is a plain link. Neither changes what this table says.
The natural comparison is HubSpot: HubSpot is a marketing platform, not a newswire. If you want ongoing email and content tools in one place rather than paid one-off distribution, compare what each charges per month against what a single release costs.
