AUSTIN, Texas — September 22, 2026 — Anyone who has paid for a press release knows the moment: the invoice is paid, a long list of sites arrives, and there is no easy way to tell which pages are live, which actually carry the release, and which never appeared. Proofwire.press launches today to end that guesswork. Every release it distributes comes back with a coverage report in which each placement has been opened and checked. A sample report is available at https://proofwire.press/sample-report.
“Most founders and marketing leaders have paid for a press release and then wondered what they actually got,” said Proofwire’s founder. “So we made proof the product. We open every placement and check that the release is on the page. If we can’t confirm one, the report says so, in plain sight.”
What a Proofwire report shows
Every placement gets its own line: the outlet, the live link, whether the release was found on the page, and the date it was checked. It is built to be forwarded to a CEO, a board, investors or customers the same day it arrives.
Why it matters now
Customers, investors and journalists increasingly meet a company through search engines and AI assistants, which lean on established news sources when they describe a business. A placement on a recognizable outlet only helps if it is really there, and it only builds credibility if you can link to it with confidence.
Two packages, one flat price each
- Launch, $599: Yahoo Finance, Business Insider and MarketWatch, plus a network of more than 300 additional outlets.
- Headline, $899: everything in Launch, plus AP News, USA Today and Street Insider, and syndication to more than 500 additional sites.
Legacy newswires publish national rates above $1,000 for a single 400-word release, before add-ons. Proofwire has no per-word pricing, no subscription, no annual contract and no agency retainer. Customers choose a package at Proofwire.press, pay by card and submit their release online. Proofwire reviews the copy, submits it to the distribution network within 48 hours, and sends the coverage report once placements go live.
The service is built for founders, executives and the marketing, communications and investor relations teams who own a company’s announcements: funding rounds, product launches, partnerships, key hires and milestones. Free guides at https://proofwire.press/blog explain how to write each kind of release, how to check a placement yourself, and what a domain rating does and does not tell you.
Proof, starting with its own launch.
This announcement is Proofwire’s own first release, sent through its Headline package. Its full coverage report, including any placement that could not be confirmed, will be published at Proofwire.press once every link has been checked.
“We’d rather show you than tell you,” the founder added. “This release is the first test, and the results will be public.”
