14-day free trial
Sudwire checks the police, council and government websites in your area every few minutes, day and night, and drafts the stories your readers will care about. Your editor checks them in WordPress before anything goes live.
Free for 14 days on Starter and Pro, up to 5 articles a day. A card is needed to start, and nothing is charged before day 14. Then from $47 a month.
How it works
Scout, our sources assistant, finds the official sources near you and checks each one works. You choose which to follow.
Each new item gets a score for how much it matters locally, and routine notices are left out.
Drafts arrive in WordPress with a photo and a link to the original source.
Sources
Every article starts from a police, council or agency release, and the source is linked at the bottom.
Editors
Stories about crime, courts and deaths always wait for a person to approve them.
Pick how many articles a day you need. Starter and Pro come with a 14-day free trial, and Agency starts at 20% off the first month.
Prices are in US dollars. Tax is added at checkout based on your country.
FAQ
No. Articles are written only from official sources such as police, councils and government agencies. Other outlets’ stories can be listed for you as leads, and they are never rewritten.
Only if you turn automatic publishing on, and even then stories about crime, courts, deaths, minors, health emergencies or elections wait for an editor.
Each plan has a base price plus a price per article a day, and you choose the number of articles. The more you take, the less each one costs, and you can change the number at any time. Paying yearly saves 17%.
Yes, for now: a self-hosted WordPress site, or a WordPress.com plan that allows plugins. Install the free plugin, paste your connection key, and drafts arrive as posts waiting for review.
Anywhere with official sources online. Scout knows the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland best, and articles are written in your site’s language.
Everything in the plan you pick, writing up to 5 articles a day for a site with the plugin connected. A card is needed to start. If you don’t want to wait, you can start your plan early from the Billing page and get all your articles a day straight away.
Search engines penalise sites that pump out thin, mass-produced pages. Sudwire caps how many articles it writes each day, skips minor items, and your editor sees every draft before it goes live.
On Starter and Pro, when the 14-day trial ends. If you cancel from the Billing page before then, you aren’t charged at all. Agency is charged when you sign up, with 20% off the first month.
Yes, from the Billing page. The new plan applies straight away and the price difference is prorated.
Your plan carries on to the end of the period you paid for, then stops. Articles already in WordPress stay on your site, and you can download all your data from the Account page.
You do. Use, edit and publish them as you like. Each one links to the official source it came from.
Yes. Ask within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full. The refund policy, linked at the bottom of the page, has the details.
Agency covers up to 5 sites. Your articles a day are shared between them, and each site has its own sources and settings.
Scout sets up your sources in a few minutes. Cancel from the Billing page any time before the trial ends and you pay nothing.
