The True Annual Cost Calculator

Methodology & sources

This is Pressonify's own market research, stated as such — we build a competing product, so every uncertain figure uses the estimate least favourable to us.

Provenance markers

• Green — published rate card, captured to the Internet Archive on June 12 2026: EIN Presswire · eReleases · Pressonify
• Amber — vendor publishes no rate card (pricing is quote-only; PR Newswire's product pages, archived, list no prices). Figures are our research, June 2026. Independent anchor: eReleases' archived rate card publicly states "PR Newswire value – $1,145" as the national minimum.
• Red — community-reported only, no public source found (NewswireJet's pricing page, archived, renders no extractable figures).

Rules

• Published bundle pricing is applied where cheaper (EIN's $499/5 and $999/15+5; Pressonify's €199/5). Vendors without public bulk pricing cannot be modelled.
• International figures use the midpoint of each vendor's range.
• Word-overage fees apply per 100 words above each vendor's included count (typically 400).
• Currency conversion is approximate at 1 EUR ≈ 1.08 USD; each vendor's native currency is authoritative.
