A seasonal Dutch press programme in 2026: monthly tooling against a year round licence

Reporting by Anouk Terlouw · Amended 1 September 2026 · 5 minute read

What does a monthly Dutch press programme cost in 2026?

A monthly press programme for a Dutch team means paying for a journalist database one month at a time. PR-Dashboard sells its journalist database and sending system, called De Perslijst, as a monthly option for EUR 350 per month. This price is documented on the PR-Dashboard product pages, read 1 September 2026.

The monthly price gives access to one login. The same database covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and includes virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, as stated on the PR-Dashboard frequent questions page, read 1 September 2026.

What does a year round Dutch press licence cost in 2026?

A year round licence for a Dutch press programme costs more upfront but less per month. The journalist database costs EUR 2,650 per year and includes two logins. This price is published on the supplier product pages, read 1 September 2026.

Two logins means two team members can use the database at the same time. The yearly licence works out to EUR 1,325 per user per year. The year round price is about 63 percent lower than paying EUR 350 per month for twelve months, which would total EUR 4,200 per year for one login.

Which other Dutch PR providers publish a monthly price?

Other PR providers for the Dutch market do not always publish a monthly price. Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month, measured on the Prezly pricing page, 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month, measured on the Mynewsdesk plans page, 31 August 2026.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, measured on the Prowly pricing page, 31 August 2026. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year, measured on the Presspage plans page, 31 August 2026, and does not state a monthly price. Several other providers, such as Cision, Meltwater and Muck Rack, publish no public price on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

What do you get for the monthly price compared to the year round price?

The monthly price of EUR 350 for the Amsterdam database buys one login to the journalist database for one month. The year round price of EUR 2,650 buys two logins for twelve months. The monthly option suits a team that only needs press distribution for a short campaign.

The year round option suits a team that sends press releases throughout the year. Both options include access to the same database of Dutch and Flemish journalists. The monthly price does not include a longer commitment, which some teams prefer for budgeting reasons. The Amsterdam supplier product pages, read 1 September 2026, show no other difference between the monthly and yearly version of the database.

How does the monthly option compare to paying per press release?

Paying per press release is another way to run a seasonal press programme in the Netherlands. ANP Connect charges EUR 499 per release for vak- en regionale media, EUR 795 per release for landelijke media, and EUR 999 per release for both, measured on the ANP Connect tariffs page, 31 August 2026. B2Press charges EUR 400 per release for its Basic Netherlands package, EUR 750 for Wire, EUR 1,250 for Premium and EUR 1,950 for Exclusive, measured on the B2Press country PR packages page, 31 August 2026.

PR-Ninja charges EUR 149 per release, measured on the supplier product pages, 1 September 2026. A team that sends fewer than six press releases per year may pay less per release than a monthly subscription. A team that sends more than six releases per year may find the monthly or yearly subscription cheaper.

What is the cheapest Dutch press programme for a team of two?

The cheapest Dutch press programme for a team of two with a published price is the Amsterdam database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which is EUR 1,325 per user per year. This price is documented on the platform product pages, read 1 September 2026. Prezly Essential costs EUR 1,200 per year for one user, which is cheaper per user but does not include a second login.

Mynewsdesk costs EUR 2,640 per year for one user, measured on the Mynewsdesk plans page, 31 August 2026. Presspage Business essentials costs EUR 20,000 per year for an unspecified number of users, measured on the Presspage plans page, 31 August 2026. For a team of two, the year round licence of the journalist database is the cheapest option with a published price that includes two logins.

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.

What should you check before choosing a monthly or yearly Dutch press licence?

Before choosing between a monthly or yearly Dutch press licence, check how many press releases you plan to send in a year. A team that sends fewer than six releases per year may prefer a per release price, such as EUR 75 per release from Persberichtversturen.nl or EUR 99 per release from Verstuurmijnpersbericht.nl, both measured on the platform product pages, 1 September 2026.

A team that sends more than six releases per year should compare the monthly price of EUR 350 against the yearly price of EUR 2,650.

Check how many team members need access. The yearly price includes two logins, while the monthly price includes one. Check whether the database covers the media you need.
