Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

EIN Presswire

  • Sold as prepaid release credits that expire 365 days after purchase, so unused releases are lost rather than carried
  • A single release is $149, and the lower per release rates require buying 5 or 15 up front
  • Word limits are tied to the package, from 700 words on Basic to 2,500 on Corporate
  • Geographic and industry targeting is rationed by package, at 2 country and 5 industry targets on Pro+
