EIN Presswire Pricing (2026), $149, $499 and $999 Plans Explained

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

EIN Presswire pricing in 2026 has three plans. Basic is $149 for one release, Pro+ is $499 for five releases plus one free, and Corporate is $999 for 15 releases, per its pricing page on November 1, 2026. That works out to $149, $83.17 and $66.60 per release. The page labels the Pro+ free release a limited-time offer. Word limits are 700, 1,000 and 2,500, and every plan lists AP News placement. USA TODAY Network distribution is based on relevance.

What do EIN Presswire's plans cost and include?

Here's the full plan table from EIN Presswire's pricing page, checked November 1, 2026. Prices haven't changed since our September 18, 2026 check.

Plan	Price	Releases	Per release	Word limit	Images	Videos	Anchor links	Country targets	Industry targets
Basic	$149	1	$149	700	1	1	3	1	1
Pro+	$499	5 + 1 free	$83.17	1,000	3	1	3	2	5
Corporate	$999	15	$66.60	2,500	5	1	3	2	5

The price for one 400-word U.S. release on EIN Presswire is $149, on the Basic plan.

Is the Pro+ "5 + 1 free" offer permanent?

No, EIN labels it a limited-time offer, and the pricing page shows a countdown timer next to it. With the free release, Pro+ comes to $83.17 per release. The page also shows $99.80 struck through, which is $499 split over five releases.

So if you plan to buy Pro+, check whether the timer is still running. Without the sixth release, you'd be paying $99.80 a release instead of $83.17. EIN doesn't say when the offer ends.

What comes with every EIN Presswire plan?

All three plans list the same distribution. EIN names AP News, Nexstar Media Group and USA TODAY Network, plus Google News, Bloomberg Terminals, MuckRack, search engines and detailed distribution reports. Releases can be used within 365 days of purchase.

"Based on relevance" matters. AP News placement carries no such condition, but U.S. TV and radio and the USA TODAY Network are distributed based on relevance, so those outlets aren't promised for every release. Ask EIN what decides relevance for your topic if those names are why you're buying.

Two things aren't on the pricing page. It doesn't state a fee for going over the word limit, and it doesn't offer writing. If you need writing, budget for it separately.

Which EIN plan is cheapest for the number of releases you send?

The math is simple at list prices, and it all happens inside the 365-day window.

One to three releases. Buy Basic each time. Three Basics cost $447, less than one Pro+ at $499.
Four to six releases. Pro+ wins. Four Basics would cost $596 (4 x $149), against $499 for one Pro+ pack.
Seven to nine releases. One Pro+ pack plus Basics is cheapest while the free-release offer runs, at $648, $797 and $946 ($499 plus one, two or three releases at $149).
Ten to twelve releases. Two Pro+ packs give you 12 releases for $998 while the free-release offer runs.
Thirteen or more releases. Corporate wins, with 15 releases for $999.

Word count can decide it too. Basic allows 700 words. Pro+ allows 1,000 and Corporate 2,500. At least half of EIN releases run longer than Basic allows.

In PR Gun's database of published press releases, the median EIN Presswire release ran 834 words, across 6,796 releases published February 18 to October 30, 2026. That's over Basic's 700-word limit and inside Pro+'s 1,000.

What are EIN Presswire's refund and review terms?

Refunds. EIN's FAQ says refunds are available if you bought the package within the last 60 days and used less than 25% of the credits. Refunds are prorated by the credits left.

Review. EIN says "We may review press releases before distribution to confirm they meet the Editorial Guidelines."

Timing. Account verification "can take up to two business days." After that, EIN offers "Same Day Distribution (for verified accounts & during business hours)." If you have a fixed launch date, open the account early.

Who is each EIN plan for?

Startup. One launch release, about 600 words. Basic at $149 fits if you stay under 700 words. If you'll send news again within the year, Pro+ may cost less over time.

Small business. A release every quarter or so. Four releases a year makes Pro+ cheaper than four Basics, and you get the longer 1,000-word limit.

Agency. Many client releases a year. Corporate at $999 for 15 brings the price to $66.60 each, with a 2,500-word limit. Check that releases can be used within the 365-day window.

Public company. EIN's plans don't describe regulatory or disclosure distribution on the pricing page. Ask EIN directly before relying on it for a filing.
