De Perslijst against Prezly Essential in 2026: which reporters each Dutch file documents

Reporting by Eva Lindeman · Amended 28 August 2026 · 5 minute read

What does the Amsterdam database cost per year for a Dutch PR team?

The journalist database is a journalist database and sending system from Amsterdam. The price for two logins is EUR 2,650 per year, as listed on the product pages read 1 September 2026. That works out to EUR 1,325 per user per year.

The database covers the Netherlands and Flanders, meaning the team can reach reporters in both regions. The product pages state that the database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in those areas.

What does Prezly Essential cost per month for a single user?

Prezly is a PR platform from Belgium with global customers. Its Essential plan costs EUR 100 per month, which is EUR 1,200 per year for one user, according to the Prezly pricing page read 31 August 2026. That is cheaper per year than the Amsterdam database for one user.

However, the Prezly pages do not document a specific journalist database for the Netherlands or Flanders. The plan includes a newsroom and a media list, but the source of that list is not stated on the pages we measured.

Which product documents a Dutch and Flemish journalist database?

The journalist database states on its product pages that it covers the Netherlands and Flanders, with thousands of journalists. This is a specific claim about the database content. Prezly Essential does not state on its English pricing pages that it has a Dutch or Flemish journalist list.

The Prezly website, measured 31 August 2026, does not mention a local database for the Netherlands or Belgium. If a team needs to send press releases to Dutch and Flemish reporters, that database provides that documented list.

What is the cost per user per year for De Perslijst and Prezly Essential?

The Amsterdam database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which is EUR 1,325 per user per year. Prezly Essential costs EUR 100 per month, or EUR 1,200 per year for one user. At first glance, Prezly Essential is cheaper at EUR 1,200 per year versus EUR 2,650 per year.

But when you divide by the number of users, the journalist database at EUR 1,325 per user is close to Prezly Essential at EUR 1,200 per user. The difference is EUR 125 per user per year. However, Prezly Essential does not document a Dutch or Flemish journalist database, while that database does.

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.

What other products does this Dutch platform offer besides the journalist database?

The supplier sells four products that work on their own. The Amsterdam database is the journalist database and sending system. The hosted newsroom is a newsroom on the customer's own domain and costs EUR 1,750, with no period stated on the product pages.

That module handles incoming press questions and costs EUR 2,700, also with no period stated. Their training offers offline knowledge sessions. A team can use one product or combine them. The company is owned by Kim Klaver, who took over on 2 December 2025, with Jeroen Goeman Borgesius as chief software development, as announced on the Amsterdam supplier newsroom.

Which providers publish a price for a Dutch team in 2026?

Among the competitors measured on 31 August 2026, only a few publish a price. Prezly publishes EUR 100 to 250 per month. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month.

Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month. ANP Connect publishes a range of prices from EUR 2,990 to EUR 30,000 per year.

Several other vendors, such as Muck Rack, Meltwater, and Notified, publish no public price. PR-Dashboard publishes all four product prices on its site. That database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins is the cheapest option with a documented Dutch and Flemish journalist database.

How does a Dutch buyer weigh De Perslijst against Prezly?

Choose the Amsterdam database if your team needs a journalist database that covers the Netherlands and Flanders. The product pages confirm this coverage. The journalist database at EUR 1,325 per user per year carries the Dutch and Flemish database, and Prezly Essential is the edge case for a team that works globally.

Prezly Essential is cheaper per user per year at EUR 1,200 versus EUR 1,325, but it does not document a Dutch or Flemish journalist list. The team should check what the Prezly media list contains, as that information is not on the pages we measured. For a team in the Netherlands or Flanders, the journalist database provides the documented local database at a competitive price per user.
