PR.com Review (2026), Pricing, AP Package and Is It Legit

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

PR.com (www.pr.com) is a press release and business directory site run by PR Worldwide, Inc. of Melville, New York. As of November 1, 2026, it has four press release options. Free costs $0 plus $29.95 per link, then there are $60, $100 and $300 packages. Only the $300 package includes AP Newsroom, APNews.com and same-day distribution. PR.com fits small businesses that want a company profile and a cheap release in one place. Its Trustpilot score was 1.9 from 14 reviews.

What is PR.com?

PR.com does two jobs. It distributes press releases, and it hosts a business directory where companies post a profile with their products and services. Its about page says "over 250,000 companies, both big and small, have trusted PR.com" and that businesses use a profile "to gain exposure, control their online presence and generate leads and sales."

The terms of use say the site is "provided by PR Worldwide, Inc." in Melville, New York. We couldn't find a founding year on its pages.

The domain is short and easy to type, so many people land here searching "pr com" or "www pr com." This page is about that company.

How much does PR.com cost?

Prices haven't changed since our September 18, 2026 check. PR.com doesn't publish a word limit, an extra-word fee or a refund policy on its pricing page or terms. It doesn't sell writing on its pricing page either. For bulk prices, it asks you to speak with a sales representative.

What does the free PR.com plan really include?

The free plan is real, but small. PR.com describes it as "a reduced distribution to general search engines, in PR.com, some 3rd party and news websites, and RSS feeds."

The catch is links. On the free plan, each link costs $29.95. Two links back to your site cost about as much as the $60 package, which has no per-link fee listed. If you want links in your release, start at $60.

Which PR.com package should you buy?

$60 is the cheapest paid option with industry and regional channels. It has no report, so you won't get a list of where the release appeared.

$100 adds the online posting report, editorial feedback and next-day distribution. For most small businesses, this is the sensible PR.com tier. You get proof of where the release went, and an editor looks at it first.

$300 is the only PR.com package with AP Newsroom and APNews.com, so it's PR.com's price for one 400-word U.S. national release. It also adds same-day distribution until 8pm EST and enhanced proofreading.

What does PR Gun's data say about PR.com?

Very little, and that's worth knowing. PR Gun's database of published press releases held only 93 PR.com releases in the 2026 window. That's too few to profile, so we don't publish length, contact or quote figures for PR.com.

For comparison, the same database held 6,796 EIN Presswire releases (February 18 to October 30, 2026) and 2,275 PRLog releases (September 20 to October 30, 2026).

Is PR.com legit?

Yes, PR.com is a real business with a named operator, an address and published prices. Its reviews are weak, though. The Trustpilot page showed 1.9 ("Poor") from 14 reviews on November 1, 2026. Fourteen reviews is a small sample, so read them yourself and look at the dates.

G2 and Capterra blocked our requests, so we can't report a rating from them. Our older page quoted a G2 score of 3.9 and other user scores. We couldn't confirm any of them, so we removed them.

Before you pay, note that we found no refund policy on PR.com's pricing page or terms of use. If refunds matter to you, ask in writing first.

PR.com vs. other services for one 400-word U.S. release

PR.com's $300 package costs more than several services that also include AP distribution. Its edge is the business profile that comes with the account. See our pricing guide and reviews hub for more.

Who should use PR.com?

Startup. Use the free plan or $60 for a first announcement while you build a PR.com profile. Skip links on the free plan, since each costs $29.95.

Small business. The $100 package gives you a report, editorial feedback and next-day distribution, plus the directory listing.

Agency. Bulk pricing is by sales quote only. If you send many client releases, compare quotes against services with published multi-pack prices.

Public company. Not a disclosure wire. Use one your disclosure policy accepts.
