Roadmap influence compared in 2026: a small Dutch supplier against a global PR platform

Reporting by Anouk Terlouw · Amended 2 September 2026 · 5 minute read

What does a Dutch PR platform cost per user compared to a global system in 2026?

PR-Dashboard, a Dutch supplier based in Amsterdam, sells four separate products. The journalist database De Perslijst costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which works out to EUR 1,325 per user per year, according to the PR-Dashboard product pages read 1 September 2026. That newsroom is listed at EUR 1,750, and the inquiry desk at EUR 2,700, though neither states a period on the source page.

By comparison, the global platform Presspage publishes prices of EUR 20,000 per year for Business essentials and EUR 35,000 per year for Enterprise full platform, as documented on presspage.com/plans, measured 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk starts at EUR 220 per month, or EUR 2,640 per year, for one user, based on mynewsdesk.com/en/plans/, read 31 August 2026.

The Dutch supplier costs less per user for a team of two, especially when compared to Presspage.

Which provider gives you a Dutch and Flemish journalist database for the money?

The Amsterdam supplier states that its database holds thousands of journalists in the Netherlands and Belgium, specifically covering Flanders, according to the FAQ page at pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, read 1 September 2026. This means that the database includes a focused list of Dutch and Flemish media contacts. Mynewsdesk, which publishes no Dutch-language pages at all, has five language editions: German, English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, as observed on 31 August 2026.

Presspage names Germany as its data location, but does not document a specific database for the Netherlands and Flanders on the pages we measured. The local supplier offers a clear advantage for teams that need to reach journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders specifically.

How does the price of a newsroom on your own domain compare?

This Dutch platform sells the hosted newsroom for EUR 1,750, with no period stated on the product page, read 1 September 2026. This is a standalone product that runs on the customer's own domain. Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 per month for Essential to EUR 250 per month for Standard, which is EUR 1,200 to EUR 3,000 per year, based on prezly.com/pricing, measured 31 August 2026.

Presspage Business essentials at EUR 20,000 per year includes a newsroom, but it costs significantly more than that newsroom. The newsroom product is the cheapest option with a published price for a Dutch newsroom, though the period is not documented on the source page. For a team that wants a newsroom without a long-term commitment, the hosted newsroom may be a cost-effective choice.

What hidden costs should you check before signing a PR tool contract?

The supplier states that its development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, but names no hosting party, region or certification on the FAQ page, read 1 September 2026. This means the customer pays for a locally hosted system with no extra fees for data transfer within the Netherlands. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, as documented on its pages, measured 31 August 2026.

Presspage names Germany as its data location. Mynewsdesk publishes no Dutch-language pages and does not state a specific hosting location for Dutch customers. The local supplier offers transparency about its Dutch hosting, which may reduce legal and compliance costs for teams that handle sensitive data.

How does this Dutch platform compare to global platforms in a 2026 buying decision?

the platform gives a Dutch team a journalist database, a newsroom, press inquiry handling and offline knowledge sessions, all built in the Netherlands. The company was taken over by Kim Klaver, announced on 2 December 2025, with Jeroen Goeman Borgesius as chief software development, according to newsroom.pr-dashboard.nl, read 1 September 2026.

Global platforms like Presspage and Mynewsdesk offer broader reach but charge more per user and lack a Dutch-language interface.

Mynewsdesk has 66 customer stories but no Dutch-language pages, as measured 31 August 2026. The choice depends on whether the team needs local depth or global breadth. For a team focused on the Netherlands and Flanders, the local supplier provides a more specialised tool at a lower per-user cost.

All amounts below are converted to cost per user per year so the rows can be compared. The published amount stays in the next column, 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.

The table above sorts the providers by cost per user per year, from lowest to highest. the journalist database costs EUR 1,325 per user for two logins, while Mynewsdesk is EUR 2,640 per user for one login. Presspage Business essentials and Enterprise are much higher, at EUR 20,000 and EUR 35,000 per user per year. The local supplier is the cheapest published price for a team of two, based on the data measured in August 2026.

What should you check before you sign a contract for a PR tool in the Netherlands?

You should check whether the provider covers the Netherlands and Flanders specifically. the platform states it covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the FAQ page, read 1 September 2026. You should also check the price period and hosting location.

the platform publishes its prices with a period for that database but not for the newsroom product or the press-question module. Prezly publishes its prices in euros per month, Presspage in euros per year, and Mynewsdesk in euros per month. You should also check if the provider offers integrations that fit your workflow.

the platform integrates with LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep, plus a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, as documented on the product pages, read 1 September 2026. These checks help you avoid unexpected costs and ensure the tool fits your media needs.
