Pricing FAQ

The questions we get before every order.

Don't see your question? Email [email protected]. A real human (not a bot) replies within 24 business hours.

Are there any hidden fees or required memberships?
No. The price you see is the price you pay. No annual membership, no per-image surcharge, no AP-syndication add-on. Other major newswires charge $195 to $300/year just to access their network. We don't.
Do bundle credits expire?
Never. Bundle credits sit on your account until you use them. Use 1 today, 4 next quarter, 5 next year. Same locked-in price.
How fast do releases actually go live?
If your release is submitted before 2 PM CT and passes editorial review, it goes live same-day across the primary network. Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, and AP-syndicated outlets typically appear within 24 hours. AI indexing (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) starts being detectable.
Can I change my plan or get a refund after I order?
Before distribution starts: yes, we'll switch your plan or refund you in full. Once your release is live on the network, refunds aren't possible because outlet placements are permanent. See our Refund Policy for full details.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), PayPal, Wise / bank transfer, and cryptocurrency. All orders, including Enterprise and Agency, are paid 100% in advance. We do not offer credit or pay-after-publication terms.
What does "Lifetime Placements" mean?
Your release stays published on the IconicNewswire newsroom permanently, and we never remove it unless you ask or it breaks our policies. Third-party outlets keep releases according to their own publishing and archive policies, which are outside our control.
Is currency in USD? What about VAT/GST?
All prices are in USD. We charge the listed price flat, with no VAT or GST added at checkout. EU/UK B2B clients can request a reverse-charge VAT invoice; we'll provide one with a valid VAT/GST number.
Do you offer a discount for non-profits or startups?
Yes. Verified 501(c)(3) non-profits get 20% off any plan. Pre-seed startups (under 12 months old, less than $500K raised) can apply for our Founders Programme: 50% off the first 3 releases. Email [email protected] to apply.
