Best Press Release Writing Services (2026), Prices Compared

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

The best press release writing services publish a price, a turnaround and a revision promise. As of November 1, 2026, eReleases is the only distribution service we checked that publishes all three. It charges $300 for writing added to a distribution package, delivered in 3 business days. Send2Press charges $199 for full writing, or $89 to $169 for a rewrite. PR Gun lists writing as free with packages from $49. 24-7 Press Release, IssueWire and Newswire.com offer writing help but publish no price.

Which press release writing services publish their prices?

We checked every distribution service in our research on November 1, 2026. This is what each one says about writing on its own pages.

EIN Presswire, PRLog, openPR and PRFree don't offer writing on their pricing pages. PR Underground doesn't price it. PR Newswire, Business Wire, Cision and GlobeNewswire don't publish writing prices.

What does a written and distributed release cost in total?

Writing is rarely sold alone by these services. You buy it with distribution. Adding the published prices together gives the total for one release.

Watch the word limit when someone else writes. eReleases Buzz Builder includes 400 words and charges $150 for each extra 100 words. Send2Press's own national packages allow 1,200 words. Ask your writer to hit the length your package covers.

What should a good press release writer deliver?

You can judge a writer against what real releases look like. PR Gun's database of published press releases gives a baseline.

• In PR Gun's database, the median PR Newswire release ran 615 words (82,398 releases published January 4 to October 31, 2026).
• In PR Gun's database, 79.3% of 479 Send2Press releases published May 7 to October 30, 2026 included a quote.
• In PR Gun's database, 78.4% of 5,684 PRWeb releases published March 30 to October 31, 2026 included a quote.
• In PR Gun's database, 36.9% of 2,275 PRLog releases published September 20 to October 30, 2026 included a quote.
• In PR Gun's database, the median Business Wire headline ran 91 characters (2,784 releases published September 24 to October 18, 2026).

The share of releases with a quote ranges from about a third to four in five, depending on the wire. These figures reflect what customers wrote, so they say more about the writing than the wire. A good writer should hand you these six things.

• A headline that states the news, with no all caps. Our headline length study covers sizing.
• A first paragraph that answers who, what, when and where.
• At least one quote from a named person that says something specific.
• Facts a reporter can check, with numbers and dates.
• A media contact with a name, email and phone.
• A boilerplate paragraph about your company.

Our guide on how to write a press release walks through each part with a sample.

How do you compare writing services for a technical or niche industry?

None of the services we checked publishes a different writing price by industry. That includes niche sectors like data centers, biotech or finance. The prices above are the only published figures.

For technical news, ask four questions before you pay.

1. Will the writer interview someone on your team, or work only from your notes?
2. How many rounds of revisions are included? Send2Press prices one-draft and two-draft rewrites separately, at $89 and $169.
3. Who approves the final copy? eReleases won't distribute until you approve it.
4. How long does it take? eReleases says 3 business days.

If the writer can't explain your product in one plain sentence on the first call, keep looking.

Which writing option fits you?

Startup. You have the facts but no time. A bundled option keeps cost down. PR Gun includes writing from $49. If you want a PR Newswire national send with a guaranteed sign-off on copy, eReleases at $699 for writing plus Buzz Builder does that.

Small business. You've drafted something and want it polished. A Send2Press one-draft rewrite costs $89. PR.com's $100 package adds editorial feedback on your own draft.

Agency. You write in-house and need proofreading at scale. PRWeb Advanced includes proofreading at $360. PR.com's $300 package includes enhanced proofreading.

Public company. Have your own legal or investor relations team review any disclosure copy, whoever writes it. Then use a wire for distribution.
