Reporting by Koos Reinders · Amended 31 August 2026 · 6 minute read

What does a Dutch PR tool cost compared to international platforms in 2026?

PR-Dashboard publishes prices for each of its four products. De Perslijst, a journalist database and sending system, costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, according to the product pages read on 1 September 2026. PR-Newsroom, a newsroom on the customer's own domain, starts at EUR 1,750.

Persvragen, which handles incoming press questions, is listed at EUR 2,700. Both the newsroom product and the press-question module do not state a period on the source page, so the amounts are shown at face value. International platforms like Prezly publish monthly prices: EUR 100 per month for the Essential plan and EUR 250 for the Standard plan, measured on 31 August 2026.

Mynewsdesk publishes EUR 220 per month for its Essential plan, with no Dutch-language pages documented. Presspage lists EUR 20,000 per year for Business essentials and EUR 35,000 for Enterprise full platform. These international options often cost more per user per year when the price is converted and compared.

Which international platform is the cheapest for a team of two in Holland?

When you compare the cost per user per year, the supplier the Amsterdam database comes in at EUR 1,325 per user per year (EUR 2,650 divided by two logins). Prezly Essential at EUR 100 per month works out to EUR 1,200 per year for one user, but the number of logins is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk Essential at EUR 220 per month equals EUR 2,640 per year for one user, again with no documented login count.

Presspage Business essentials at EUR 20,000 per year is significantly higher per user. The cheapest published price that includes a Dutch and Flemish journalist database is the journalist database, because the database covers thousands of journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders, as stated on the frequently asked questions page read on 1 September 2026.

Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin and does not document a dedicated Dutch database.

What do you get for the money at a Dutch PR platform versus an international provider?

The supplier the Amsterdam database for EUR 2,650 per year includes two logins and access to a database that covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the FAQ page read on 1 September 2026. The platform also integrates with LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep through single sign-on, and it offers a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, as shown on the product pages read on 1 September 2026.

In contrast, Mynewsdesk at EUR 220 per month includes 66 customer stories on its site but no Dutch-language pages, and the five language editions are German, English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, measured on 31 August 2026.

pr.co runs two language editions, English and nl-NL, with 373 pages each, and has an AI Agent product page, but it publishes no public price. Presscloud runs seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE, and has an MCP server page for tools like Claude and Cursor, but it too publishes no public price. A buyer in Holland gets a local database and local support with the Dutch platform, while international tools may offer broader language coverage but not necessarily a Dutch journalist database.

Which provider hides its price and what does that mean for a buyer?

Several international PR platforms do not publish a price. Muck Rack, Meltwater, Cision, Notified, Presspage (above the published plans), Prowly (no price on the main page), Presscloud, pr.co and Prezly (only for higher plans) do not document a public price on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. Prowly serves no robots.txt and no sitemap, and its pricing page shows USD 258 per month for the Prowly plan, but it does not state a euro price or a period.

Meltwater and Cision are known for enterprise sales but publish no public price. For a buyer in the Netherlands, a vendor without a documented price means you cannot compare without a sales call. The Amsterdam supplier, Prezly (at the lower plans), Mynewsdesk and Presspage (at the listed plans) are the only ones in this list that document a price.

The absence of a published price makes it harder to budget for a small team.

How do Dutch PR tools compare on data location and development?

The supplier states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, according to the FAQ page read on 1 September 2026. No hosting party, region or certification is named on that page. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, which is in Ireland, and it publishes robots.txt rules that disallow ClaudeBot, GPTBot, CCBot and Google-Extended while allowing search crawlers, measured on 31 August 2026.

Presspage names Germany as its data location, according to the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. Presscloud allows sixteen AI crawlers by name in its robots.txt, measured on 31 August 2026. For a Dutch buyer, data location in the Netherlands means the data stays within Dutch jurisdiction, which may matter for compliance with local privacy laws.

International platforms host in other EU countries or the US, which may require additional data processing agreements.

Which PR platform offers the best value for covering Dutch and Flemish media?

For a team that needs to reach journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders, this Dutch platform the journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins provides a dedicated database that covers thousands of journalists and virtually all media in those regions, as documented on the FAQ page read on 1 September 2026. The price includes two logins, which works out to EUR 1,325 per user per year.

ANP Connect offers a Database only plan at EUR 2,990 per year, but it covers the Netherlands only, and the number of logins is not documented.

Prezly at EUR 100 per month covers a wide range of international media but does not document a specific database for Dutch or Flemish journalists. Mynewsdesk at EUR 220 per month has no Dutch-language pages, so the coverage for Dutch media is not documented. For a buyer in Holland, the Dutch platform with a local database and transparent pricing offers a strong value because the price includes the specific region you need.

The table puts every vendor on one axis, cost per user per year. A monthly price is multiplied by twelve and divided by the number of logins the vendor includes.

5 columns. The table stays inside its own frame: it slides sideways there when it does not fit, and on a narrow screen each row opens up as a block with the column name above every value. The page itself never moves.
