Get your brand featured on 100+ outlets including FOX, NBC, ABC & CBS affiliates, major newspapers, and digital news sites — starting at just $77. No contracts. No hidden fees. Real placements.
The press release distribution industry has a pricing problem. Traditional PR agencies charge anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 per month for media outreach, and even self-service distribution platforms often charge $300 to $500 for a single release. Most businesses — especially startups, small brands, and solopreneurs — simply cannot justify that spend.
Here is the uncomfortable truth: most of that money goes to overhead, bloated dashboards, and middle-management layers. The actual cost of distributing a press release to real newsrooms and outlets is a fraction of what you are being charged.
The BuzzBlast difference: We cut the bloat. No contracts, no upsells, no junk distribution. Your press release goes to 100+ outlets including real FOX, NBC, ABC, and CBS affiliate newsrooms — starting at just $77.
When you break down what a traditional PR agency charges — $5,000/month on the low end — you are paying over $60,000 a year with zero guaranteed placements. Most agencies explicitly state they cannot guarantee media coverage at all. You are paying for their "relationships" and "pitching time."
With BuzzBlast, $77 gets you actual, verifiable placements on 100+ outlets. That is not a promise of "we will try." That is a guarantee of real distribution to real newsrooms.
Get distributed to 100+ outlets including FOX, NBC, ABC & CBS affiliates.
Cheap does not mean low quality. At BuzzBlast, our $77 base plan delivers the same type of media exposure that agencies charge thousands for. Here is exactly what is included:
Your press release is distributed to 100+ outlets across the country. These are not random blogs or link farms. They are legitimate, established media properties that people actually read and trust:
Unlike traditional PR firms that charge you monthly and cross their fingers, BuzzBlast guarantees your release gets published. You will receive live links to your placements on real news sites, not a vague "coverage report" with no verifiable URLs.
Pay once. Get published. That is it. There are no monthly fees, no annual commitments, and no hidden charges. Need another release next month? Great. Do not need one? You will not be billed.
Pro tip: Our Flagship plan at $134 adds enhanced distribution, priority processing, and additional outlet categories. But even the base $77 plan gets you on 100+ outlets including major network affiliates.
Let us be real about how the numbers stack up. When you compare BuzzBlast to the alternatives, the value is not even close:
Monthly retainers range from $2,000 to $10,000+. Most require 3 to 6 month commitments. That is $6,000 to $60,000 before you see a single guaranteed placement. Many agencies explicitly state that media coverage is not guaranteed — you are paying for effort, not results.
Most well-known distribution platforms charge $300 to $500 per release for their mid-tier plans. Their top-tier options can run $800 to $1,000+. And even then, many of the "outlets" in their network are content syndication sites with minimal real readership.
Hiring a freelance PR person typically costs $100 to $200 per hour. A single press release — writing, pitching, and follow-up — can easily consume 10 to 20 hours. That is $1,000 to $4,000 per release with no guarantee of placement.
BuzzBlast: $77. One flat fee. 100+ outlets. Guaranteed placement. Real newsrooms. No contract. The math speaks for itself.

Not all cheap press release services are created equal. Some cut costs by distributing to junk outlets or providing zero customer support. Here is what separates a genuinely good affordable service from a scam:
Any reputable service should tell you exactly where your release will be distributed. If a provider is vague about their "network" or refuses to name specific outlets, that is a red flag. At BuzzBlast, we are upfront: your release goes to 100+ outlets including named TV affiliates like FOX 54 (WFXG), KWWL NBC, KTBS 3 ABC, WBOC CBS, and many more.
You should receive live URLs showing your press release published on real news sites. Screenshots and "impression reports" are not enough. If you cannot click a link and see your release on a real outlet's website, you did not get real coverage.
Beware of services that advertise a low price but then bombard you with "add-ons" that are basically required to get any real distribution. The base price should include real outlet placement, not just a listing on the provider's own website.
Even at low prices, you should have access to real human support. At BuzzBlast, our team is available at team@thebuzzblast.com to answer questions and help optimize your release before it goes out.
