UNITED STATES – August 25, 2026 – 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.

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.

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. Buyers comparing options can consult PR Gun’s own guide to press release distribution services, which reviews the market including services PR Gun does not sell.

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 guide.

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.

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.

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.
