24-7 Press Release Review (2026), Pricing, Word Cap and Fit

By the PR Gun Research desk. Prices verified November 1, 2026.

24-7 Press Release (24-7pressrelease.com) is a Seattle press release service established in 2004. As of November 1, 2026, it sells six plans per release, from a $29 Simple Post to the $479 Mass Media Visibility plan. The $49 to $199 plans have no word limit. The $479 plan is the only one with PR Newswire national wire distribution, but it caps releases at 375 words and charges $110 per 100 words beyond that. It suits small businesses that want a clear ladder of prices. Its Trustpilot page had a single review on November 1, 2026.

What is 24-7 Press Release?

24-7 Press Release Newswire is a U.S. press release distribution service. Its about page says it was "Established in 2004" and gives a Seattle, Washington address. It doesn't name a parent company.

Every plan is priced per release. There's no membership. The site also mentions an agency discount program and an affiliate program, but it doesn't publish the discount.

People search for it as "24 7 press release," "24-7 press release newswire" and "24 7pressrelease." They're all the same company.

How much does 24-7 Press Release cost in 2026?

Here are all six plans as listed on November 1, 2026. Prices match PR Gun's September 18, 2026 check.

Each step up adds 100 guaranteed placements and a new kind of outlet. That makes the ladder easy to read. The big jump is the last one, from $199 to $479, where PR Newswire enters.

One mismatch to ask about. The comparison page lists 500+ guaranteed placements for the $479 plan, but the plan's own page says its distribution report "includes 250 guaranteed publication placements."

How does the 375-word cap on the $479 plan work?

This is the detail most buyers miss. The Mass Media Visibility page says "The word count limit for this plan is 375 words." It adds that extra words "will incur a charge of $110 per 100 words," and that the count "includes the headline, subhead, body, and boilerplate."

So a 400-word release goes over the cap by 25 words and triggers the overage. The page doesn't say whether a partial block of 100 words is billed as a full $110 block. Because of that, we can't give an exact total for a 400-word release on this plan. Ask 24-7 before you order.

The cap is tight compared with what gets published. In PR Gun's database, the median 24-7 Press Release release was 525 words, across 5,331 releases published December 31, 2025 to October 30, 2026. A release that length would be 150 words over the $479 plan's limit.

None of the $49 to $199 plans have this problem. They list unlimited word counts.

What do you get, and what's missing?

On every plan, the content guidelines say "The editorial staff at 24-7 Press Release Newswire review all press releases before they are distributed." Distribution is next business day, and you can make changes until 9 p.m. Pacific the day before release.

The $479 plan page lists more detail about PR Newswire's side. It names Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch and Benzinga among financial platforms, plus Nexstar Media Group affiliates. It also says typical link pickup in the PR Newswire report is 250 to 300 placements, on top of 250+ outlets in 24-7's own network.

Here's what's missing or limited.

• Writing isn't sold directly. 24-7 refers you to a partner, Prompt Proofing, with no price on its page.
• Refunds aren't promised. The FAQ says "Refunds are not guaranteed and will be considered on a case-by-case basis," and none are issued once a release is distributed.
• The $479 plan "is not available for publicly traded companies."
• The $29 Simple Post has no distribution beyond 24-7's own site.

What do 24-7 Press Release releases look like in PR Gun's data?

• In PR Gun's database, 16.4% of 5,331 24-7 Press Release releases published December 31, 2025 to October 30, 2026 included a phone number, the lowest share of the 11 wires we track.
• 16.3% of those 5,331 releases had an email address visible in the published text.
• 53.5% included a quote, and the median headline was 92 characters.
• 2.9% of 24-7 Press Release headlines were written in all capital letters.

These figures describe releases as they were published, and customers write their own copy. Whatever service you use, put a name, email and phone number in the release so reporters can reach you.

Is 24-7 Press Release legit?

Yes. It's been operating since 2004 by its own account, publishes every price, and sends a large number of releases. PR Gun's database holds 5,331 from this year alone.

There isn't enough review data to go on. On November 1, 2026, its Trustpilot page showed 3.7 from 1 review. One review tells you almost nothing, so ask peers who've used it, or test it with a low-stakes release first.

Who should use 24-7 Press Release?

Startup. You want reach without a big bill. PR Network Plus at $89 adds AP Newsroom with no word limit. If you need PR Newswire, budget for the $479 plan and keep the release near 375 words.

Small business. The ladder lets you match the plan to the news. A store opening might fit Visibility Boost at $49. A new product with regional interest might justify Integrated Media Pro at $139.

Agency. 24-7 runs an agency discount program. The rate isn't published, so ask for it in writing before you quote clients.

Public company. The $479 PR Newswire plan isn't available to publicly traded companies. Look at a wire built for investor news. Our PR Newswire pricing page explains how Cision's main wire is sold.
