A: Good question. You can create, share, and publish unlimited press releases with ALL AppSumo tiers. If you've been following along on emails, we've been letting our users prioritize what features to build next (via https://tally.so/r/woBML1) and Wholesale press release distribution was the most requested feature (by far) as so many of our users are small business owners and marketers who were sick of paying crazy prices to publish press releases to Tier 1 publishers. ALL Press Ranger users, regardless of tier, get access to wholesale distribution pricing because we think it's a critical piece of the PR ecosystem that shouldn't cost nearly as much as it does. We're not gating access based on tier nor are we trying to force upgrades by offering deeper discounts. It's simple: everyone in our community gets access to publish press releases at wholesale pricing with no middlemen.

The important thing to note is that you do not need to use the distribution service to publish a press release. You can use the media database, AI campaign, and individual publisher and journalist profiles to send press releases, stories, pitches, etc. to anyone you like. This is and always will be the core piece of Press Ranger as media databases have been locked behind expensive contracts for too long. The distribution service is for people who want the guarantee of placements and don't want to do the ground work of sending out releases themselves.
