GlobeNewswire (owned by Notified) is a mainstream financial newswire used by public companies for earnings and disclosures. It distributes broadly across general business and financial media. Pricing is quote-based, with no public rate card: a basic 400-word North American release starts around $350, and a standard 600-word release with a logo and image typically runs $900 to $1,200 (GlobeNewswire pricing).
This guide is an honest comparison. It covers what GlobeNewswire does well, where Token Metrics fits as a crypto-native alternative, and how to choose based on the audience you actually want.
The short version
GlobeNewswire and Token Metrics serve different audiences. GlobeNewswire is a broad mainstream wire: it pushes your release to general business and financial outlets at scale. Token Metrics is crypto-native owned-audience distribution: it publishes your release on the Token Metrics blog and amplifies it to an engaged crypto-investor audience across newsletter, X, and Discord.
If you need mainstream financial pickup and regulatory-grade distribution, GlobeNewswire is built for that. If you want to reach active crypto investors at a fraction of the cost, with pricing you can see up front, Token Metrics is worth a look.

How the distribution differs
GlobeNewswire distributes to a mainstream wire: general business media, financial terminals, journalists, and syndication partners, with strong reach for regulatory and investor-relations disclosures. Pricing is arranged by quote, and multimedia or international targeting adds to the cost.
Token Metrics does not push to a mainstream wire. It publishes your release on its own blog and puts it in front of its audience: a mention in the Daily Pulse newsletter, an X thread, and a Discord post on higher tiers. The reach is narrower but crypto-native, and you see the price before you buy.
Pricing
Token Metrics keeps pricing flat and public: $499 for Standard and $999 for Premium, paid once, with no add-ons. Premium adds the amplification layer.
GlobeNewswire is quote-based with no public rate card. Reported figures put a basic North American release around $350 and a standard 600-word release with logo and image at $900 to $1,200, plus more for video or international distribution (source).
Who GlobeNewswire is best for
Pick GlobeNewswire when mainstream financial reach is the goal. If you are a public company or need regulatory-grade distribution, syndication to financial terminals, or major-outlet credibility for an institutional audience, that is what a mainstream wire delivers.
Who Token Metrics is best for
Pick Token Metrics when your audience is crypto investors and you want transparent, predictable cost. You get a clean post on the Token Metrics blog plus amplification to a returning crypto audience through newsletter, X, and Discord, for $499 or $999 all in.
Many teams use both: a mainstream wire for a regulatory or corporate milestone, and Token Metrics for cost-efficient reach to the crypto investors who actually trade the narrative.
