How much does a guest post cost?
Guest-post placement prices in this active catalogue range from $10.97 to $95,760.00, with a median of $136.69 across 56,005 publications. These are supplied USD placement prices, not a full campaign quote. Writing may cost extra where available; compare audience fit and confirm scope and disclosure before choosing a publisher.
What do the catalogue prices show?
The snapshot below covers active publications and their supplied USD placement prices. It excludes writing and other costs not included in the placement field. A catalogue update date does not establish when a publisher measured its metrics.
What should I include in my budget?
Compare the placement price with available writing options, then ask the team about the agreed scope and delivery timing. A saved plan does not reserve inventory or a price.
Why do guest post prices vary so much?
Publishers set their own prices. Higher authority scores and larger traffic estimates usually cost more, but the relationship is loose: two sites with the same DA can differ several-fold in price because of topic demand, editorial standards, how many links are allowed and whether the post is marked as sponsored. The tables below show the spread inside each band, so compare a quote with the typical range for similar sites rather than with the catalogue as a whole.
Is article writing included in the price?
No. The listed price is the placement only. Where a publisher offers writing, it is a separate charge for a 500-, 750- or 1,000-word article; a tier shown as unavailable is not free. If you supply your own article, budget time for the publisher’s editorial review and any requested changes.
How should I read the price tables?
Each row shows how many active listings fall in a group, the median placement price, and the middle half of prices (25th to 75th percentile). The middle range is a better guide to a normal price than the minimum or maximum, which a few outliers pull far apart. Groups with fewer than 15 listings are left out. Metrics are supplied with the listings and not independently verified.
