NewswireToday Review (2026), Pricing and What We Could Verify

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

NewswireToday (newswiretoday.com) is a press release and article site run by Limelon Advertising, Co. It says it has operated since 2005. On November 1, 2026, its security certificate was valid, but its server left out the intermediate certificate, so some tools couldn't verify the connection. Most browsers fetch that piece on their own. Its Advertise/Pricing page lists a $199 lifetime press room, $129 per international article or $399 for 12, and a $249 banner boost. Free basic submission ended in January 2017 except for 501(c)(3) charities. It has no Trustpilot page, so there's little outside evidence to judge it by.

What is NewswireToday, and who runs it?

NewswireToday's about page says it's run by "Limelon Advertising & Communications, Co., (formerly SalesClick Group)," which it says "has been actively involved in online advertising since 1998." The page says "Since 2005, NewswireToday is a leading press release newswire & Market Research Reports distribution service," along with a business directory and an article site. It says it was "Founded by internet entrepreneur Charles Murati."

The same page names sister sites in the Limelon network, including PRZOOM, PRTODAY, Newswire.eu.com, USAnewswire.com and EuroZoneToday.com. The footer carries "©2005-2026 NewswireToday" next to the Limelon Advertising, Co. name.

The footer also makes two statements about who it isn't. It says it's "NOT affiliated with PRNewswire as we declined their partnership offer in 2013," and that PRTODAY and NewswireTODAY "are NOT affiliated with USA TODAY." We couldn't check the 2013 claim.

Why do some tools show a certificate error for NewswireToday?

When we connected to newswiretoday.com on November 1, 2026, command-line tools such as curl refused the connection with the error "unable to verify the first certificate." Our first checks that morning failed the same way.

We looked at why. The site's certificate itself is valid. It was issued by Sectigo for *.newswiretoday.com and runs from November 28, 2025 to November 28, 2026. The problem is that the server sends only its own certificate and leaves out the "intermediate" certificate that links it to a trusted root.

The certificate names where that missing piece can be downloaded. We fetched it from Sectigo, and with it the chain checked out against a trusted root. We then read the site with full certificate checking still on. Everything below comes from those pages.

Most browsers fetch a missing intermediate certificate on their own, so most visitors reach the site without a warning. Tools that don't do this, like curl, show an error. It's a server setup issue, and it doesn't mean the site is unsafe.

How much does NewswireToday cost?

NewswireToday's pricing sits on a page labeled "Advertise/Pricing." Its table is hard to follow, so we only list what the page states plainly.

The page also says "Become a Premium Editor and submit press releases for 2 months for only $399 USD," with a maximum of one featured release per day. It mentions an "XML feed to approximately 2000+ sources," and monthly bulk reseller plans above 75 submissions a month, priced on request. It says "No Contract. Cancel at anytime."

The site menu shows "Sign Up Free!" and the about page calls registration free, but the pricing page says free basic submission ended in January 2017 for everyone except 501(c)(3) groups.

NewswireToday wasn't in PR Gun's September 18, 2026 price check, so we have no earlier figures to compare.

What can and can't we verify about NewswireToday?

We also found no refund terms on its terms and privacy page, and no word limit or turnaround time on its pricing page.

What does NewswireToday publish, and what won't it accept?

On November 1, 2026, the home page listed recent items in categories like software, defense, aviation and cosmetics, with credits to company sites such as Siemens.com and Oracle.com. NewswireToday describes itself as a "NEWSWIRE / PRESS RELEASE DISTRIBUTION SERVICE" for corporations, PR agencies, market research reports and freelance writers.

Its about page lists content it won't distribute. That includes releases meant to cause harm, network marketing promotions, releases that read like ads or link to an online store, political or religious content, and adult material.

PR Gun doesn't hold NewswireToday in its 2026 database of published press releases, so we can't report how its releases are written or how many it carries.

Is NewswireToday legit?

It's a working site with a named operator, published prices and content rules. That's the basic test, and it passes.

Beyond that, there's very little independent evidence. It has no Trustpilot page, and G2 and Capterra blocked our checks. PR Gun's Bing data shows over 1,000 impressions for a Bing "site" search on newswiretoday.com, which people use to see what a site has published.

If you're considering it, ask in writing what you'll get, where releases will appear, and whether you can get a refund. Then compare that answer with services that publish those details up front.

Who might use NewswireToday?

Startup. You want an extra posting on top of your main release. The international article option at $129 is a low-cost add-on. Don't make it your only channel.

Small business. The $199 lifetime press room is a one-time fee, which some owners like. Ask what it includes before you pay, since the page doesn't spell out reach.

Agency. Bulk reseller plans exist for more than 75 releases a month, priced on request. Get a written quote and refund terms first.

Public company. Nothing on the site describes financial disclosure distribution. Use a wire built for investor news.
