A monthly amount times twelve against a yearly amount in the Netherlands in 2026

Reporting by Anouk Terlouw · Amended 3 September 2026 · 7 minute read

How do monthly and yearly PR subscription costs compare in the Netherlands in 2026?

A PR platform subscription that you pay every month looks smaller on the invoice than a yearly amount. But the yearly total can be lower per month because you commit for the whole year. For the Netherlands and Flanders in 2026, the difference matters most when you compare what each price covers.

De Perslijst from the Dutch company PR-Dashboard costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which gives access to a database of Dutch and Flemish journalists and a press release sending system. That works out to EUR 1,325 per user per year.

Mynewsdesk publishes EUR 220 per month for its Essential plan, measured 31 August 2026. Twelve times that amount is EUR 2,640 per year. Mynewsdesk does not publish how many users that plan includes, so the yearly cost per user is at least that amount.

Prezly publishes EUR 100 per month for its Essential plan, measured 31 August 2026, which becomes EUR 1,200 per year for one user. The yearly amount for Prezly Essential is EUR 1,200, a little under De Perslijst per year for one user, but the Amsterdam database includes two logins, so per user the cost is different.

What does each subscription actually include for PR in the Netherlands and Flanders?

The price per month or per year only tells part of the story. What matters is what the plan gives you for reaching Dutch and Flemish media. The journalist database from the supplier costs EUR 2,650 per year for two user logins.

It includes a journalist database that covers Dutch and Belgian journalists and virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the FAQ page on pr-dashboard.nl, measured 1 September 2026. The subscription also includes the sending system for press releases. This is an annual subscription only and does not convert to a monthly plan at the same rate.

Prezly Essential at EUR 100 per month includes an online newsroom and a contact database, but Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, measured 31 August 2026. For a team working exclusively on the Dutch market, a database that focuses on the Netherlands and Flanders may be more useful. Mynewsdesk Essential at EUR 220 per month includes press release distribution and a newsroom, but Mynewsdesk publishes no Dutch language pages and has five language editions: German, English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, measured 31 August 2026.

That means a Dutch team might need to work in English.

Which PR providers publish monthly prices versus yearly prices in 2026?

Among the PR platforms active in the Dutch market in 2026, some publish their prices as a monthly amount and some as a yearly amount. This Dutch platform publishes the journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, measured 1 September 2026. That is a yearly price.

Prezly and Mynewsdesk both publish monthly prices. Prezly publishes EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month, and Mynewsdesk EUR 220 per month, both measured 31 August 2026.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, measured 31 August 2026. Presspage publishes its prices per year: EUR 20,000 for Business essentials and EUR 35,000 for Enterprise full platform, measured 31 August 2026. Other providers like pr.co and Presscloud publish no public price on their pages as measured 31 August 2026.

A buyer comparing month to year must convert the monthly amounts by multiplying by twelve. For Prezly Essential, EUR 100 per month times twelve equals EUR 1,200 per year. For Mynewsdesk Essential, EUR 220 per month times twelve equals EUR 2,640 per year.

For Prowly, the converted amount is USD 3,096 per year. These numbers help compare across different billing cycles.

Which is the cheapest published price subscription per user per year for Dutch and Flemish PR in 2026?

To find the cheapest option for a team that needs a Dutch and Flemish journalist database, the benchmark is EUR 1,325 per user per year for that database from this Dutch platform. That is the amount for the first user in a two login plan. Prezly Essential costs EUR 1,200 per year for one user, which is lower, but Prezly does not focus exclusively on the Netherlands and Flanders.

The journalist database covers journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders specifically.

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.

That database costs EUR 1,325 per user per year for two logins. Prezly Essential costs EUR 1,200 per user per year for one user, which is lower on the published amount. Presspage Business essentials is EUR 20,000 per year for an unspecified number of users, making it more expensive per user. Anyone comparing should check how many users each plan covers.

How to choose between a monthly and a yearly subscription for PR in the Netherlands in 2026?

Choosing between a monthly and a yearly price depends on how long you need the service and how many team members will use it. A yearly subscription like the Amsterdam database at EUR 2,650 for two logins locks you in for twelve months, but the per user cost is EUR 1,325. A monthly subscription like Prezly Essential at EUR 100 per month gives flexibly because you can stop after one month.

But the yearly cost is EUR 1,200, which is close to the per user cost of the journalist database for one user.

For a team of two communicators who need access to a Dutch and Flemish journalist database and a sending system, the yearly plan from the supplier with two logins is a straightforward choice. The price includes both users, and the database covers the Dutch and Flemish media landscape. Monthly subscriptions often cover one user per price, so a team of two would pay double if they both need individual logins.

This Dutch platform does not offer a monthly plan for the journalist database at the same rates, but it does offer a single month of that database for EUR 350 per month, measured 1 September 2026. That is useful for a short campaign.

What should you check before you sign a PR subscription in the Netherlands in 2026?

Before committing to a PR platform subscription, check three things. First, confirm the number of user logins included. The Amsterdam database includes two logins for EUR 2,650 per year, which changes the per user cost.

Prezly Essential at EUR 100 per month does not document how many users that includes, measured 31 August 2026. Second, check which region the journalist database covers. The journalist database covers the Netherlands and Flanders specifically. Mynewsdesk publishes in five languages that do not include Dutch, measured 31 August 2026, which may affect local media outreach.

Third, look at the data location and hosting. the platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. Presspage names Germany as its data location.

Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin. Fourth, note what is not included in the price. the platform publishes its newsroom product that newsroom at EUR 1,750 with no period stated on the product page, measured 1 September 2026. That means the buyer should ask the vendor how long that price covers.

What hidden costs exist in PR subscriptions for Dutch teams in 2026?

Hidden costs in a PR subscription can include fees for extra users, additional press releases, or add on modules. The Amsterdam database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, and the product pages name one price with no separate setup fee on the page, measured 1 September 2026. If a team needs more than two logins, they may need to buy another plan or ask the vendor for a custom price.

The page does not document a per user upgrade cost.

The hosted newsroom from the platform costs EUR 1,750 with no period stated on the product page, measured 1 September 2026. A buyer should clarify whether that price covers one year or a different period. Prezly publishes its monthly price but does not document a setup fee on the pages measured 31 August 2026.

Presspage publishes a yearly price with no setup fee documented on the pages measured 31 August 2026. The safest approach is to ask each vendor directly what the total is for the first year, including any extra costs for user seats or add ons.
