Pricing
One subscription, and a short list of one-time things
Stork Wire is the product. Everything below it is optional, priced once, and labelled wherever it appears.
Stork Wire
Free$99/monthfounding beta
Backlinks from real coverage, published to a news section on your own domain.
- Free during the founding beta. No card, nothing to cancel.
- The first 100 installed domains stay free for as long as their news section stays installed.
- 12 articles your first month, then about 8 — written for your market, by named writers.
- Followed links from vetted member sites in your market. Never a one-to-one trade.
- Your veto on everything. Nothing publishes without passing your queue.
- Leave whenever. Your articles stay yours.
Why free? Wire is in its founding beta. The network is young and the first cohort is what makes it worth joining — so the first 100 domains to install don't just skip the launch price, they keep the deal: free for as long as their news section stays installed. The analyzer tells you if your domain qualifies in about ten seconds. No account needed.

What we don't sell
Worth stating plainly, because most of this category does sell them.
- Rankings. No position in any list is purchasable, at any price.
- Followed links from the directory. Listing and badge links are nofollow. Wire links are followed because they're editorial coverage on a third party's site — a different thing entirely.
- Pay-per-link. Wire is a subscription to a news section, not a price per placement, and our editors decide who covers whom.
- Paid blog placements. We sold a sponsored blog post once, and stopped in May 2026 — a paid post that reads like editorial is the exact thing we tell people not to buy.
