What is the difference between Standard ($60) and Featured ($360)?

Standard ($60) and Featured ($360) both include Google News inclusion. Standard is a hosted community page you can share, and it does not enter the main feed or the daily newsletter. Featured adds main-feed placement, the daily newsletter, and posts on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Bluesky, as text and video, after a relevance check.

Paid placements use rel=sponsored branded mentions, the same disclosure Google requires for PRNewswire, BusinessWire, and Cision. That keeps the post compliant while still carrying your brand and URL.

How fast does my post go live?

Standard publishes within minutes after checkout. Featured runs through an off-topic and spam check first. If we reject it, you get a refund.

Is editorial coverage the same as newswire?

No. Editorial pitches are free, human-reviewed reporting on /write-for-us. Newswire is flat-fee distribution for press releases and company announcements you already wrote.

Press release distribution for AI companies.

Paste the release you already wrote. It is on the StartupHub news feed and in Google News within minutes. Featured adds the daily newsletter and posts on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Bluesky, as text and video. One flat fee, no retainer.
