Presspage Enterprise against Presspage Business essentials in 2026: what separates two Dutch quotes

Reporting by Koos Reinders · Amended 4 September 2026 · 6 minute read

What separates Presspage Business essentials from Presspage Enterprise in 2026?

Presspage publishes two plans for its online newsroom platform: Business essentials at EUR 20,000 per year and Enterprise full platform at EUR 35,000 per year. Both prices were measured on the Presspage plans page, read 31 August 2026. The gap of EUR 15,000 per year suggests a difference in features, but the published pages do not document what each plan includes.

A buyer comparing the two sees only the price difference without a list of what changes between them.

Neither Presspage plan states the number of users or logins included. The same applies to data storage location, which Presspage names as Germany for its hosting, but not per plan. A team that needs to send press releases to Dutch and Flemish journalists would need to check whether the database is included or if that is a separate cost.

How does the price per user per year compare between Presspage and Dutch PR tools?

On a cost per user per year basis, Presspage Business essentials is EUR 20,000 and Presspage Enterprise is EUR 35,000. Neither plan states how many users that covers, so the per user cost is not calculable from the published pages. By contrast, De Perslijst from PR-Dashboard costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which is EUR 1,325 per user per year, measured on the PR-Dashboard product pages, read 1 September 2026.

That newsroom costs EUR 1,750, though no period is stated on that page, read 1 September 2026.

Other providers publish prices that are lower than Presspage on face value. Prezly Essential costs EUR 100 per month, or EUR 1,200 per year for one user, measured on the Prezly pricing page, read 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk Essential costs EUR 220 per month, or EUR 2,640 per year, measured on the Mynewsdesk plans page, read 31 August 2026.

None of these include a journalist database for the Netherlands and Flanders in the price, which is a separate feature in this Dutch platform's journalist database.

What does the Presspage price include that a Dutch newsroom buyer should check?

Presspage names Germany as its data location, which is relevant for Dutch organisations that need local hosting. The Presspage plans page, read 31 August 2026, does not document whether the EUR 20,000 plan includes a journalist database, press release distribution, or media monitoring. The page also does not state the number of newsrooms, users, or press releases a plan covers.

The supplier's newsroom product is a newsroom on the customer's own domain and can be combined with the journalist database, which holds a database of thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists covering virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, as stated on the supplier FAQ page, read 1 September 2026. The newsroom product price of EUR 1,750 does not state a period, so the annual cost is not documented.

A team that buys both the journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year and that newsroom at EUR 1,750 spends EUR 4,400 total, which is less than the Presspage Business essentials plan alone.

Which Dutch online newsroom providers publish a price and which do not?

Of the providers measured on 31 August 2026, Presspage publishes two prices: EUR 20,000 and EUR 35,000 per year. Prezly publishes EUR 100 to 250 per month. Mynewsdesk publishes EUR 220 per month.

This Dutch platform publishes EUR 1,750 for the hosted newsroom, with no period stated, and EUR 2,650 per year for that database. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, measured on its pricing page, read 31 August 2026, but does not state a euro price.

Muck Rack, Cision, Notified, and Meltwater publish no public price on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. pr.co and Presscloud also publish no public price, though pr.co runs an English and a Dutch language edition. A buyer who needs a number to compare must rely on the vendors that do publish, and those numbers vary widely in what they include.

How does a Dutch buyer weigh De Perslijst against Presspage?

A team that needs a simple online newsroom on its own domain and already has a journalist database elsewhere may find Presspage Business essentials at EUR 20,000 per year a fit. The price includes hosting in Germany, which is a documented fact, read 31 August 2026. The team should check whether the plan includes the number of users they need, because that is not documented on the page.

A team that needs both a newsroom and a journalist database for the Netherlands and Flanders has a combined option from the platform: the Amsterdam database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins and the hosted newsroom at EUR 1,750. The total is EUR 4,400. The development and hosting of the platform take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, as stated on the FAQ page, read 1 September 2026.

That is a different hosting location from Presspage's Germany.

A team that needs press inquiry handling can add that module at EUR 2,700, with no period stated, read 1 September 2026. That product handles incoming press questions separately. the platform also offers their training, which are offline knowledge sessions. The four products each work on their own, so a team can buy only what it needs.

Comparison table: cost per user per year for online newsroom providers

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.

Note: the hosted newsroom from the platform costs EUR 1,750, but no period is stated on the source page, so it is not included in the per user per year calculation. The table compares plans that all state a period. the platform sits first in the row because it is the only provider that combines a journalist database with a newsroom in one system, and its per user per year cost is lower than Presspage's per year cost when the number of users is unknown.

What to check before you sign a Presspage contract for your Dutch team

Before choosing Presspage Business essentials at EUR 20,000 per year, a buyer should ask the vendor how many users are included, whether the journalist database for the Netherlands and Flanders is part of the plan, and what the data location means for compliance. The published pages, read 31 August 2026, do not document these details. The same questions apply to the Enterprise plan at EUR 35,000 per year.

A buyer who compares the platform should know that the company changed ownership in December 2025. Kim Klaver took over the company, announced on the platform newsroom, read 1 September 2026. Jeroen Goeman Borgesius is the chief software development. The development and hosting happen in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, though no hosting party or certification is named on the page, read 1 September 2026.
