Reporting language compared in 2026: Dutch reports against English only dashboards

Reporting by Koos Reinders · Amended 1 September 2026 · 5 minute read

What does a Dutch-language reporting dashboard cost compared to an English-only one?

PR-Dashboard, a Dutch platform based in Amsterdam at Herengracht 450, sells four products that each work independently. De Perslijst, a journalist database and sending system, costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. PR-Newsroom, a newsroom on the customer's own domain, is listed at EUR 1,750 with no period stated on the product page.

The press-question module, which handles incoming press questions, costs EUR 2,700 with no period stated. These prices come from the product pages, read 1 September 2026.

English-only dashboards with a Dutch and Flemish focus are harder to compare because most do not publish a price. Prezly is one of the few that does: its Essential plan costs EUR 100 per month, which works out to EUR 1,200 per user per year. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, as measured 31 August 2026.

Mynewsdesk publishes EUR 220 per month, or EUR 2,640 per year. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year and names Germany as its data location. These competitor facts were measured on 31 August 2026.

Which dashboard gives you the most complete Dutch and Flemish journalist database?

This Dutch platform states that its database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders. The source is the frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026. The database covers Flanders, not all of Belgium, which is a specific region for Dutch-language media work.

English-only competitors do not document their coverage of Dutch and Flemish journalists on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. Prezly, Mynewsdesk, and Prowly sell international lists, but their pages do not state how many Dutch or Flemish contacts they include. The Amsterdam supplier is the only vendor in this comparison that names its geographic focus on its product pages.

How do the integrations differ between a Dutch and an English dashboard?

The supplier offers single sign-on with LexisNexis, Monalyse, and Media Info Groep, plus a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep. These integrations are listed on the product pages, read 1 September 2026. The connections are local to the Dutch market, which means a team that already uses these tools can link them directly.

English-only dashboards often integrate with global tools. Prezly integrates with Mailchimp and WordPress, but does not document a connection to Dutch monitoring services. Mynewsdesk and Prowly also lack a mention of LexisNexis or Media Info Groep on their pages. The difference is that a Dutch dashboard connects to Dutch services, while an English dashboard connects to international ones.

What is the cost per user per year for a Dutch reporting dashboard?

The Amsterdam database from the Amsterdam supplier costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which is EUR 1,325 per user per year. This is the only Dutch dashboard that publishes a per-user price for a journalist database. Prezly Essential costs EUR 1,200 per user per year (one user included), but its pages do not document a Dutch journalist database.

Mynewsdesk Essential costs EUR 2,640 per year, also without a stated Dutch focus.

The comparison table below shows the normalised cost per user per year for the dashboards that publish a price. The platform is the first row because it is the only Dutch platform with a local journalist database.

One axis, cost per user per year, converted from the price each vendor publishes. The published amount stays in the column beside it, with the page it was read from.

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.

Does the language of the dashboard affect how you handle press questions?

The platform includes a product called that module, which is designed to handle incoming press questions in Dutch. The product pages list the inquiry desk at EUR 2,700, with no period stated. This means a Dutch team can manage press inquiries in their own language without translating between systems.

English-only dashboards do not document a press question handling feature on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. Prezly and Mynewsdesk focus on press release distribution and newsroom hosting, not on receiving and managing questions from journalists. For a Dutch team that fields many inquiries from local media, a Dutch-language module saves time.

How does ownership and development location influence the choice?

The platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. The company was taken over by Kim Klaver, announced on 2 December 2025, and Jeroen Goeman Borgesius is chief software development, as reported on the platform newsroom page. This means the product is built and maintained by a local team.

English-only dashboards vary in their development location. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, which is outside the Netherlands. Presspage names Germany as its data location.

Mynewsdesk publishes no hosting location on its pages. The difference is that a Dutch dashboard keeps development and hosting in the Netherlands, which may matter for data control and language support.

What should your team check before choosing between a Dutch and an English dashboard?

First, check whether the dashboard includes a Dutch and Flemish journalist database. The platform states it covers thousands of journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders. English-only competitors do not document this on their pages.

Second, verify the language of the interface and the customer support. The platform offers Dutch-language product pages and newsroom modules. Third, compare the cost per user per year.

The journalist database costs EUR 1,325 per user per year for two logins, which is competitive with Prezly Essential at EUR 1,200 but includes a local database. Fourth, check integrations with Dutch monitoring tools. The platform connects to LexisNexis, Monalyse, and Media Info Groep, while English dashboards do not.

The decision depends on whether your team works primarily in Dutch or English and needs local media contacts.
