Last verified 2026-09-03. https://www.newswire.com/press-release-distribution/pricing/ (official pricing page, accessed 2026-06-14) — page rendered fully with all plan prices. Confirmed via https://www.newswire.com/pricing/domestic/1 (same pricing, accessed 2026-06-14). Re-verified 2026-09-03 against the live pricing page; published figures unchanged. The page this record cites as its source (https://www.newswire.com/press-release-distribution/pricing/) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it answered 200 and redirected to https://www.newswire.com/our_prices, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. Nothing else in this record can stand in for it, so re-sourcing needs a live page read; the figure stands as last read. The corroborating page this record cited (https://www.newswire.com/pricing/domestic/1) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it answered 200 and redirected to https://www.newswire.com/our_prices, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. This record therefore no longer claims an independent second witness for its figures.

Newswire currently holds a silver deskmark here — Rank 5 of 9 · Press Release Distribution. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm and money never touches it.
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Newswire moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
