Business Wire’s pricing page says a release starts at 475 dollars for 400 words on a U.S. local circuit. Longer releases, wider circuits, multimedia and translation add to that, and Business Wire confirms the full cost before sending. AIGROW sells three fixed packages, paid once, from $49 with the writing included. Business Wire fits earnings disclosure and AP and AFP distribution; AIGROW fits a business that wants its news written and published at a known price.

Which one fits your work?

Choose Business Wire when you report earnings or other disclosures, need AP and AFP distribution, or send news on a regular calendar that suits its packages. Choose AIGROW when you are a small business that wants a release written and published on established news sites at a fixed price.

Keep Business Wire for disclosure and national campaigns. Smaller announcements can go out as fixed-price releases while the wire handles regulated news.

AIGROW press releases

A release written for you and published on 500+ news sites

Visit AIGROW press releases

AIGROW writes the release from your brief and, once you approve the draft, sends it to a network of 500+ news publishers, including 100+ TV and radio network sites. Three packages are paid once: Essential at $49, Authority at $209, which adds AP News and USA Today, and Finance at $449, which adds Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch and Business Insider Markets. A report links every page that ran it.

Best reason to choose it
A stronger fit for a small business that wants its news written and published at a known price, with AI visibility readings before distribution and 30 days after.
Check before you choose
It is distribution, not news coverage: sites label it as a press release, most links are nofollow and nothing guarantees a mention by an AI assistant. Releases are written in English, and it is not a disclosure service for public companies.

Business Wire

A U.S. wire with a published starting price

Visit Business Wire

Business Wire prices each release by length, circuit and add-ons. Its pricing page says a release starts at 475 dollars for 400 words on a U.S. local circuit, with longer releases billed in 100-word blocks and multimedia and translation priced separately. Every release includes editorial review and an analytics report, and goes out through AP, AFP and 92,000+ media points.

Best reason to choose it
A stronger fit for earnings releases and other disclosures, since every U.S. circuit includes disclosure destinations, and for news that needs AP and AFP distribution.
Check before you choose
The starting price covers 400 words on a local circuit. Regional, national and international circuits, longer releases and multimedia add to it, and Business Wire confirms the full cost before the release is sent.

How we made this comparison

Published by AIGROW, which is included in this guide. We reviewed public product pages, pricing pages and help documentation, not paid accounts, and each profile shows the date we checked it. The roundup lists tools alphabetically, with no overall ranking or performance score. Recommendations are our assessment of fit, not hands-on benchmarks. Features and access can change; confirm requirements with each provider.

For a fair comparison, price the same release with each service: the same length, audience and add-ons. Ask the wires for a written quote, and check whether writing and a report of every placement are included.
