Roughly $350 for a local circuit and $805+ for a US national circuit, before add-ons. Extra words beyond 400, images, video and multimedia are billed on top, and Cision membership is separate. Real-world national releases commonly total $1,000 to $3,000+.
It guarantees distribution across its circuit and its syndication partners, not editorial pickup. Automated syndication placements are real URLs, but no journalist has chosen to write about you. Guaranteed placement on a specific named outlet is a different product.
If you want the specific destinations rather than the circuit, buying the outlet directly is usually cheaper. Yahoo Finance syndication is $670 on our marketplace and AP News is $770, both with no membership fee and no per-word charge.
It is worth it when you need regulatory disclosure, financial terminal reach, or the wire brand itself on the record. It is poor value when your real goal is a handful of named, indexable placements, because you are paying circuit pricing for a destination you could buy directly.
