Is there a charge per word or per image?

No. Presswire charges one price per release whatever its length, and images and embedded video cost nothing extra.

Is worldwide distribution cheaper than buying two regions?

Yes. Two regions bought separately cost $500 (£370 / €440). One worldwide release, covering all countries and sectors, costs $400 (£300 / €350).

How quickly is a release sent?

Releases are normally sent within one hour of receipt, after a human editorial check and test-send. You can also set a future date and time when you file.

Can AI assistants such as ChatGPT read my release?

Yes, from the moment it is published. Releases on presswire.com are open to AI crawlers, and our server logs for October 2026 show the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI and Apple reading our release pages, along with Google Search, which supplies AI Overviews and Gemini. Each release is also sent to Bing's index within seconds of publication. Every release has been checked by a former BBC journalist and carries the issuing company's name and date, so an assistant can see who said what, and when. Whether a particular release is quoted depends on what people ask.

Do prices include VAT?

No. All prices exclude VAT, and any VAT due is shown at checkout before you pay.
