PR Wire / Free press release distribution
Updated 19 October 2026
Free press release distribution exists, and it is worth using for the right reasons. Here is what it does, what it does not do, and where a paid wire starts to make sense.
Free Press Releases is a free press release site open to organisations anywhere. There is no account, no form, no word limit and no charge. Email your release to submit@freepressreleases.co.uk. A person reads each one, and a genuine release is usually live within the hour during UK working hours, as a permanent page with its own address, showing the headline, text, picture and your contact details as you submitted them.
If you want your story on recognisable regional titles, on US news sites or in other regions, with a report to prove it, our UK network is £395 + VAT and our other wires start at £240 + VAT. If dofollow links are the goal, read press release SEO first. We do not offer a free trial or free first release on the paid wires, and we are straightforward about that.
Yes. Our sister site Free Press Releases publishes releases for free, from organisations anywhere. Email it to submit@freepressreleases.co.uk and a person reads it before it goes live.
No. A free release page is a dated, indexed page on a site that is not your own. It is not newspaper coverage and nobody is promised a pickup.
No. Links inside a Free Press Releases page are nofollow, so it is visibility and a citable record, not link building.
When you need recognisable mastheads, a coverage report with every live link, or dofollow links. Paid wires start at £240 + VAT.
Ready to send a release? One release on 65 UK regional news sites is £395 + VAT, with a coverage report showing every live link. Choose your wire or compare every wire we sell.
