Pressmark · For publishers
Free to claim. Pro when you want buyers to reach you directly.
Claiming your entry is free, and it already brings you briefs. Pro is a subscription for the things that make those leads yours: a Contact button that goes to you and nobody else, the right to quote on every brief in your categories even once its free places are taken, and a rate card buyers read before they write. No commission on anything, ever.

Featured
£49–£149 per category a month, on top of Pro · opening category by category
Up to 3 publishers per category, shown in turn at the top of the category page and labelled Featured. The price follows the category's buyer demand over the last 90 days. It buys that place and nothing else: never which briefs you get or any trust mark.
Questions
What does "locked" mean for Founding Pro?
£99 a year for as long as your subscription runs without a break. If you cancel or let it lapse, the founding price ends with it, and coming back later is at the standard price.
Monthly or yearly?
£24 a month, or £249 a year, which is about 14% less than paying monthly. You can switch at renewal. If Pro lapses, the entry drops back to a free claim; nothing is deleted.
Why three categories?
Buyers want offers from sites that fit their brief. Pro lists you, and lets you quote, in up to three categories that genuinely fit your site. You choose them on your entry, and we check the fit like any other detail.
I run several sites. What does Pro cost?
Your first Pro site is full price and each one after it, on the same login, is half: £249 then £124.50 a year each, or £24 then £12 a month. At the founding price it's £99 then £49.50 a year, and each site takes one of the 50 founding places. Each Pro site can send its own offer on a brief.
Is there a lifetime plan?
No. Pro is ongoing work, with new buyers and briefs every month, so it is priced as a subscription. Founding Pro is how early publishers get the best price, and it holds for as long as they stay.
Which briefs do I see?
Free: the briefs in your own category, with one offer per brief for your account. Pro: briefs in up to three categories that fit the site, with the right to quote even when the free places are taken, and each Pro site can send its own offer. Paid plans buy presentation and a direct route to you, never a trust mark, and all outbound links stay nofollow.
Is there a discount for linking to Pressmark?
No. We don't trade Pro for links and we don't sell followed links; the badge and link builder on your dashboard are there because a link to your entry helps buyers find the same facts, not to earn anything.
