Company summary

Every fact on this page names its source and the date it was checked. Where a claim cannot be supported, it does not appear.

PRWeb is an online press-release distribution service at prweb.com, presented as a Cision product. It suits a buyer who wants to publish a company announcement with multimedia across a broad online network: the buyer uploads the release through a self-service workflow, PRWeb runs editorial review with revision holds, then distributes it. This is publicity and referral distribution, not a managed earned-link campaign and not guaranteed coverage.

Four per-release tiers are listed: Basic at $120 for search visibility with editorial keyword tagging, Standard at $245 adding syndication across an advertised 1,200-site network, Advanced at $360 adding an industry journalist email list and proofreading, and Premium at $480. Basic and Standard show 48-hour turnaround against a 24-hour weekday default in the editorial FAQ, so a buyer on a deadline should confirm timing before ordering.

The product FAQ names Cision US Inc. as the owner, while the order itself sets the contracting seller, so no single contracting entity is stated here. The linked agreement generally makes fees nonrefundable, customer-requested edits can carry notified fees, and every link in a release is automatically nofollow. Support runs through a published contact form and the [email protected] inbox with stated service hours; no dedicated customer-service phone is published.

Where they do well

PRWeb sells press-release distribution in four named per-release tiers: $120 Basic for search visibility, $245 Standard adding syndication across an advertised 1,200-site network, $360 Advanced adding a journalist email list and proofreading, and $480 Premium on faster turnaround. Every release carries unlimited media assets, and the buyer uploads copy through a self-service workflow with editorial review and revision holds. Links are explicitly nofollow, so the link treatment is stated upfront. Support runs through a published contact form and an editorial inbox with stated service hours.

Where they can improve

The review record is weak: the Trustpilot profile shows 1.6 from 23 reviews. Timing needs confirming before a deadline matters — the pricing page gives Standard 48 hours while the editorial FAQ describes a 24-hour weekday default. Fees are generally nonrefundable under the linked agreement, customer-requested edits can cost extra, and the customer grants a broad perpetual distribution licence. Network size does not guarantee publication by each outlet. Reporting is promised as detailed analytics, but no sample or metric definitions are published, and checkout currency, tax, and the order's selling entity are unconfirmed.

Company facts

Each fact below comes from a primary source, such as the company's own pages or a public register, and was checked on 2026-09-05.

Operator
PRWeb is presented as a Cision online news distribution product, and the product FAQ states that Cision US Inc. owns PRWeb. Parent-company scale, offices, and headcount are Cision's, not PRWeb-specific capacity evidence.
SourceThe About Cision PRWeb page The PRWeb product FAQ
Contracting entity
The contracting entity is set by the order: the linked agreement defines the seller as the party named on the order, so no single contracting entity can be stated without one. An older reachable terms page naming Vocus PRW Holdings, LLC is not the agreement linked by the current legal hub.
SourceThe Cision Master Subscription Agreement The PRWeb Legal hub
Establishment year
The brand claims over 25 years of operation; no exact founding year is published.
SourceThe About Cision PRWeb page The Why PRWeb page
Distribution offer
Standard at $245 a release is the qualifying syndication tier: it adds distribution across an advertised 1,200-site network on top of unlimited media assets and editorial keyword tagging. Basic at $120 covers search visibility without the advertised network syndication. The network size is an advertised reach figure, not a guarantee that each outlet publishes a given release.
SourceThe PRWeb Pricing page
Turnaround
Turnaround needs confirming before a time-sensitive order: the pricing page shows 48 hours for Basic and Standard and 24 hours for Advanced and Premium, while the editorial FAQ describes a 24-hour weekday default with Friday-afternoon jobs handled Monday afternoon.

In the company's terms
The linked agreement generally makes fees nonrefundable, subject to order and agreement exceptions, and grants a broad perpetual licence for distribution and related uses. Customer-requested edits can carry notified fees. Distribution to any particular outlet or pickup by any outlet is not guaranteed without order-specific provisions. Publicly traded issuers and stock tickers are excluded from releases.

Link treatment
PRWeb automatically applies nofollow to every web link in a release, stated in the editorial FAQ. A buyer counting on followed links for search value should look elsewhere.
SourceThe PRWeb editorial FAQ
Contact and support
Support runs through a published contact form and the [email protected] inbox, monitored around the clock with replies that can take up to 24 hours, inside stated service hours of 11AM ET Sunday to 8PM ET Friday. No dedicated customer-service phone is published; the visible phone number is expressly privacy support.

Reporting
Post-distribution analytics are promised on the About and How It Works pages, but no report sample or metric definitions are published, so confirm what reporting includes before ordering.
