A: Hi there
Everything in the platform is included via the LTD based on tier. I think the confusion is around Wholesale press release distribution which is an optional add-on. Every tier gives the account access to use Wholesale press release distribution but does not include the publishing of releases. Distributing a press release has raw costs associated with it. We have direct relationships with the publishers and pass along the costs without middlemen but there is still a payment associated with each release. There is an FAQ here about Wholesale press release distribution but here are some relevant pieces: https://quickest-march-747.notion.site/Wholesale-Press-Release-Distribution-b8db938cae774c2f8c11cc940de96beb

Bit of history, during our first AppSumo campaign, we asked everyone what we should build and the #1 most requested feature was to be able to publish press releases at wholesale prices. But you don't have to use it. You can use Press Ranger’s media database to distribute your press releases to any publisher or journalist within our network. The distribution service is a one-click way to save your time to guarantee distribution at top-tier publishers.
