Prowly billed monthly in dollars against a yearly euro amount for Dutch buyers in 2026

Reporting by Anouk Terlouw · Amended 29 August 2026 · 6 minute read

How does Prowly charge buyers in the Netherlands in 2026?

Prowly publishes one price on its pricing page: USD 258 per month, measured 31 August 2026. The page does not show a euro amount, a yearly subscription, or a discount for paying annually. A Dutch buyer who wants to pay in euros gets no help from the pricing page.

The page also does not state how many users the price covers. That means the cost per user per year is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

Prowly serves no robots.txt and no sitemap, measured 31 August 2026. That makes it harder to check how the company handles data from Dutch buyers. For a team in the Netherlands or Flanders, the lack of a euro price and a yearly plan adds uncertainty. The buyer must convert the dollar amount themselves and hope the exchange rate stays stable.

What does a Dutch PR platform with a yearly euro price cost?

PR-Dashboard, a Dutch platform from Amsterdam, publishes De Perslijst at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, measured 1 September 2026. That equals EUR 1,325 per user per year, a fixed euro amount. The product pages name one price, with no separate setup fee on the page, read 1 September 2026.

De Perslijst is a journalist database and sending system that covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists, covering virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the FAQ page, measured 1 September 2026.

Kim Klaver took over the company, announced on 2 December 2025, and Jeroen Goeman Borgesius is chief software development, according to the newsroom, measured 1 September 2026. All development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, though no hosting party, region or certification is named, as stated on the FAQ page, measured 1 September 2026.

For a Dutch buyer, this means the price is in their own currency and the payment structure is annual, not monthly.

Which other PR tools publish a price and which do not?

Of the ten competitors measured on 31 August 2026, only five publish a price. Prezly publishes EUR 100 to 250 per month. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year.

Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month. The supplier publishes EUR 2,650 per year for the Amsterdam database, EUR 1,750 for the hosted newsroom, and EUR 2,700 for that module, though the latter two do not state a period, measured 1 September 2026.

The other five vendors do not publish a public price on their pages, measured 31 August 2026. Those vendors are Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, Notified, and Presscloud. Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE, and publishes an MCP server page, but no pricing.

A buyer who wants to compare costs must contact those vendors directly. This makes Prowly one of the few with a published amount, but the dollar billing and missing yearly plan limit its usefulness for a Dutch buyer.

How does the cost per user per year compare for Dutch PR teams?

The table below compares the cost per user per year for this Dutch platform and three competitors that publish a price. The normalised number is the yearly amount divided by the number of users the price covers. For the journalist database, that is two logins.

For other vendors, it is one user unless the source says otherwise. The table is sorted ascending on the normalised number.

Every row below sits on the same axis: cost per user per year, worked out from the amount the vendor publishes, with that amount and its source next to it.

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.

Prezly Essential is cheaper per user per year at EUR 1,200, but it does not cover a Dutch and Flemish journalist database. That database includes two logins and specific coverage of the Netherlands and Flanders. Mynewsdesk comes out higher at EUR 2,640 per user per year. Prowly does not state how many users the price covers, so its cost per user per year is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

What should a Dutch buyer check before signing up for a PR tool?

A buyer in the Netherlands should check three things before signing. First, the currency and payment period. Prowly bills in US dollars monthly, which means the cost changes with the exchange rate.

This Dutch platform charges a fixed euro amount per year. Second, the number of users included. The journalist database includes two logins at EUR 2,650 per year. Prowly does not document how many users the price covers, so the actual cost per person is unknown.

Third, the coverage of the journalist database. The supplier states it covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, read 1 September 2026. Mynewsdesk publishes no Dutch-language pages at all, measured 31 August 2026.

Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, which is outside the Netherlands. A buyer who needs a Dutch and Flemish database should look for a platform that specifically mentions that region.

How do the product lines of this Dutch platform compare to a one-plan tool like Prowly?

the platform sells four separate products that each work on their own. The journalist database is a journalist database and sending system. That newsroom is a newsroom on the customer's own domain.

The inquiry desk handles incoming press questions. The training programme offers offline knowledge sessions. Prowly sells one plan at USD 258 per month, with no separate products for a newsroom or press inquiry handling.

the platform integrates with LexisNexis, Monalyse, and Media Info Groep, plus a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, according to the product pages, read 1 September 2026. Prowly does not document any integrations for the Dutch market on its pricing page, measured 31 August 2026. For a buyer who needs more than a press release distribution tool, the modular approach of the platform may fit better than a single plan from a US-based vendor.
