eReleases Pricing: What the Plans Include and How to Compare Them
Updated
eReleases offers three press release distribution plans, and the site directs visitors to its pricing page for current rates. All three plans include a detailed performance report and distribution to as many as 300 online PR media submission sites, so the differences between tiers come down to reach and targeting rather than whether you get reporting at all. If you need an exact dollar figure, check the pricing page directly — the plan structure below tells you what you're comparing before you get there.
What every eReleases plan includes
According to the site, these elements are part of all three distribution plans:
- Detailed reporting — traffic, audience, and engagement data
- Distribution to up to 300 online PR media submission sites
- Access to the Cision PR Newswire network, which the site describes as reaching 550 news content systems, 3,000 newsrooms, and more than 4,500 major news websites
- White hat SEO optimization — releases are coded so search engines can read them, without deceptive tactics
That baseline matters because it means you're not choosing whether to get measurement or syndication. You're choosing how far the release travels and how precisely it's aimed.
The three distribution plans
eReleases structures its offering as three plans, with the higher tiers adding reach and targeting. The site's own description of its capabilities points to what those tiers scale:
| Element | What the site says |
|---|---|
| Journalist and influencer database | More than 1.7 million contacts, including 700,000+ bloggers and social media influencers |
| Newswire network | Cision PR Newswire — 550 news content systems, 3,000 newsrooms, 4,500+ major news websites |
| Targeted outreach | Industry-specific trade magazines, reporters, influencers, and bloggers |
| Curated influencer email | The PR Pro plan includes one Cision Influencer list — a curated email to people likely to engage with your release |
| Experience | 28+ years working with journalists, reporters, bloggers, and influencers |
The PR Pro tier is the one the site specifically names as including the Cision Influencer list, which makes it the plan to look at if targeted outreach matters more to you than raw syndication volume.
How to choose between the plans
Work backward from your goal rather than from the price:
- If you mainly want the release indexed and syndicated widely — the entry-level distribution gets you the newswire network and the 300 submission sites.
- If you need to reach specific trade press or niche reporters — the hyper-targeting capability is the reason to move up.
- If you want a curated push to individuals likely to engage — that's the PR Pro plan with the Cision Influencer list.
The site's framing is "curation over quantity": it says it hand-selects journalists most likely to respond. If that matches your situation — a small business with a specific story for a specific audience — the higher tier is doing work the base plan doesn't.
Services beyond distribution
The site lists PR writing and PR strategy training as separate offerings, with their own pages. These are not described as included in the distribution plans, so treat them as add-ons to price separately. If you don't have a finished release, PR writing is the piece to sort out before you pick a distribution tier.
Practical notes before you order
- Real editors, no salespeople — the site states this explicitly, which affects what kind of support to expect during ordering.
- Phone contact is available — 800-710-5535 is listed for questions.
- Reviews are published on-site — the "eReleases Reviews" section collects customer outcomes; useful for gauging whether businesses like yours got coverage.
- Case studies and a "Where Does It Go?" page exist to show actual placement results rather than only claimed reach.
What to verify on the pricing page
The site does not publish plan rates in the material available here, so confirm these before buying:
- The current price of each of the three plans
- Which tier includes the Cision Influencer list (the site ties it to PR Pro)
- Whether PR writing or strategy training is bundled or billed separately
- Any word-count limits or formatting requirements per plan
Start at the pricing page, then use the case studies and "Where Does It Go?" page to judge whether the reach described matches the audience you're trying to hit.
