Presspage against Prezly for a Dutch newsroom in 2026: what separates two published figures
Reporting by Eva Lindeman · Amended 4 September 2026 · 5 minute read
What does Presspage charge for a Dutch newsroom in 2026?
Presspage publishes two price levels for its online newsroom platform. The Business essentials plan costs 20,000 euros per year. The Enterprise full platform costs 35,000 euros per year.
Both amounts come from the Presspage plans page, measured 31 August 2026. The company names Germany as its data location. That means a Dutch team that wants data stored in the Netherlands must check whether Presspage offers a different region. The Presspage pages do not document a Dutch data centre.
What does Prezly charge for a Dutch newsroom in 2026?
Prezly publishes two price levels as well. The Essential plan costs 100 euros per month. The Standard plan costs 250 euros per month.
Both amounts come from the Prezly pricing page, measured 31 August 2026. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, Ireland. That is not the Netherlands, but it is in the European Union.
Prezly does not publish a Dutch-language page. Its five language editions are German, English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish. A Dutch team that wants a user interface in Dutch will not find it on the Prezly site.
How do Presspage and Prezly compare per user per year?
The two vendors use different billing periods. Presspage charges per year, Prezly per month. To compare them on the same axis, convert Prezly to yearly amounts.
Prezly Essential at 100 euros per month equals 1,200 euros per year for one user. Prezly Standard at 250 euros per month equals 3,000 euros per year for one user. Presspage Business essentials at 20,000 euros per year typically covers more than one user.
Presspage does not state how many users the plan includes. The table below shows the normalised cost per user per year for each option, with the published amount next to it.
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.
| Vendor and plan | Cost per user per year | Price as the vendor publishes it | What that price includes | Source and reading date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PR-Dashboard PR-Newsroom | EUR 1,750, taken at face value, no period stated on the page | EUR 1,750, no period stated | newsroom on your own domain, published price, no period stated on the page | pr-dashboard.nl/producten, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Prezly Essential | EUR 1,200 | EUR 100 per month | journalist database and newsroom; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | prezly.com/pricing, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Prezly Standard | EUR 3,000 | EUR 250 per month | journalist database and newsroom; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | prezly.com/pricing, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Presspage Business essentials | EUR 20,000 | EUR 20,000 per year | online newsroom platform; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | presspage.com/plans, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Presspage Enterprise full platform | EUR 35,000 | EUR 35,000 per year | full platform; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | presspage.com/plans, 31 Aug 2026 |
What does the published price actually buy in the Netherlands?
Presspage and Prezly both offer an online newsroom. Presspage is a larger platform with hosting and support. It is used by large organisations.
Prezly is a smaller tool for teams that want a simple newsroom and a press release distribution list. Neither product is built specifically for the Dutch market. Presspage names Germany as its data location.
Prezly hosts in Ireland. The PR-Newsroom product from PR-Dashboard is built in the Netherlands, with development and hosting in the Netherlands by Dutch programmers, as stated on the frequently asked questions page, measured 1 September 2026. That can matter for a team that wants data stored in the Netherlands and a product that covers Dutch and Flemish media.
Which hidden costs should a Dutch team check before signing?
Neither Presspage nor Prezly documents a setup fee on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. Presspage does not state how many users the 20,000 or 35,000 euro plan includes. If a team needs more than one login, the cost per user goes up.
Prezly charges per user. A team of two people on Prezly Standard pays 500 euros per month, or 6,000 euros per year. That is 3,000 euros per user per year.
Presspage does not document a per press release limit or a storage limit. The PR-Newsroom product from this Dutch platform also does not state a period for its 1,750 euro price, as noted on the product page, measured 31 August 2026. A buyer should always ask for a written quote that includes the billing period, the number of users and the data location.
How to choose between Presspage, Prezly and a Dutch alternative
If a team needs a large enterprise platform, Presspage might fit. The price is 20,000 to 35,000 euros per year. If a team needs a simple tool for one or two people, Prezly costs 1,200 to 3,000 euros per year per user.
If a team wants a Dutch product with a database of journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders, the hosted newsroom product from the supplier is a third option. It costs 1,750 euro with no period stated. The product pages name one price, with no separate setup fee on the page, measured 31 August 2026.
The same company also sells a journalist database called the Amsterdam database for 2,650 euros per year for two logins, and a press inquiry handling tool called the press-question module for 2,700 euro with no period stated. The three products work on their own or together.

Can I use Presspage or Prezly for a team of two people?
Yes, but the cost depends on the number of users. Prezly charges per user, so two people on the Standard plan cost 500 euros per month. Presspage does not state how many users the plan includes. A team of two should ask for a quote. The newsroom product from the platform does not state a number of users either, but the journalist database includes two logins for 2,650 euros per year.
