Persvragen against the Presspage newsroom module for Dutch inquiry handling in 2026
Reporting by Eva Lindeman · Amended 4 September 2026 · 6 minute read
What is the cost difference between Persvragen and the Presspage newsroom module for Dutch inquiry handling in 2026?
PR-Dashboard sells that module as a separate product for 2,700 euro. The product pages, read 1 September 2026, do not state a period for this amount. Presspage publishes its Business essentials plan at 20,000 euro per year and its Enterprise full platform at 35,000 euro per year, measured 31 August 2026.
The Presspage newsroom module is part of those plans, so there is no standalone newsroom price. The inquiry desk costs much less than the Presspage plans, but it also does a different job: it receives incoming press questions, not outgoing news publishing.
What do you get for the money with the press-question module compared to a Presspage newsroom?
That module is a tool for handling press inquiries that arrive at your organisation. It gives you a system to log questions, assign them to team members, track responses and keep a record of journalist contacts. The product pages do not list a setup fee or extra costs.
This Dutch platform builds and hosts the tool in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, confirmed on the FAQ page measured 1 September 2026. Presspage names Germany as its data location on its plans page, measured 31 August 2026. A Presspage newsroom publishes press releases, articles and media kits on a dedicated page under your own domain.
It does not appear to include a dedicated inquiry handling module on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. If your team mainly receives questions from reporters, the press-question module covers that workflow directly. If you need an online newsroom for outgoing content, Presspage offers that but at a higher price.
Which providers publish a price for inquiry handling and newsroom tools in the Netherlands?
Among the providers measured on 27 and 1 September 2026, only a few publish a public price. The supplier publishes 2,700 euro for the inquiry desk with no period stated. Presspage publishes 20,000 to 35,000 euro per year for its plans that include a newsroom.
Prezly publishes prices from 100 to 250 euro per month for its newsroom and media contact tools. Mynewsdesk publishes from 220 euro per month for its platform. Prowly publishes 258 US dollars per month.
The other competitors in the measured set, such as Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack and Notified, publish no public price on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. For a team that needs a dedicated inquiry handling tool, the press-question module is one of the few products with a clear published amount.
How do that module and the Presspage newsroom compare on cost per user per year?
The comparison table below shows the normalised cost per user per year. The inquiry desk is priced at 2,700 euro with no period stated, and it is sold as a single product that multiple team members can use. For the table, we count it as one user because the source does not state a number of logins.
Presspage Business essentials at 20,000 euro per year includes a newsroom and other features. Presspage Enterprise at 35,000 euro per year adds more functionality. Both Presspage plans are higher per user per year than the press-question module, even before counting the number of users. Presspage does not state how many users are included in its plans on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.
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.
| Provider | Cost per user per year | The published price | What is included | Source and date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PR-Dashboard Persvragen | EUR 2,700, taken at face value, no period stated on the page | EUR 2,700, no period stated | handling of incoming press questions, published price, no period stated on the page | pr-dashboard.nl/producten, 1 Sep 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 are the hidden costs of using Presspage for inquiry handling compared to that module?
Presspage does not publish a price for a standalone inquiry handling module on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. To get a Presspage newsroom, you pay at least 20,000 euro per year. If you need inquiry handling, that feature may not be included in the Presspage plan, so you might need a separate tool.
The inquiry desk at 2,700 euro covers that need directly. Presspage also does not state setup fees, training costs or extra charges for user seats on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. The press-question module shows one price with no additional costs listed on the product page. For a Dutch team that handles press inquiries daily, that module amount is a predictable cost.
How does a Dutch buyer weigh the Amsterdam database against Presspage?
Start by asking what your team needs most. If your team receives many press questions and needs a system to track them, the press-question module is built for that job. It costs 2,700 euro with no period stated, and it handles journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders.
The supplier runs the service on Dutch servers with Dutch programmers, confirmed on the FAQ page, 1 September 2026. If your team mainly publishes press releases and wants a branded newsroom, Presspage offers that starting at 20,000 euro per year. Presspage names Germany as its data location.
For a team that needs both inquiry handling and a newsroom, you could combine the inquiry desk with the hosted newsroom from the supplier, which costs 1,750 euro with no period stated. That combination costs 4,450 euro in total, still far below the Presspage Business essentials price of 20,000 euro.
What to check before you sign up for Persvragen or Presspage in 2026?
Check whether the tool covers your target media. The inquiry desk works with the journalist database from the Amsterdam supplier, which covers the Netherlands and Flanders. The product pages state that the database holds thousands of journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders and covers virtually all media in those regions, measured 1 September 2026.
Presspage does not state a specific journalist database for the Netherlands on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. Check the data location. That module is hosted in the Netherlands.
Presspage names Germany. Check the contract terms. The platform sells the inquiry desk separately, and the product pages do not mention a minimum contract period.
Presspage quotes annual prices. Check the user count. Presspage does not state how many users are included on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026, so you may need to ask for a quote. The product pages carry the price and the module names, so a login limit is worth asking the supplier, so confirm that before buying.
Questions and answers
Is that module cheaper than a Presspage newsroom for incoming press questions?
Yes, for handling incoming inquiries, the press-question module at 2,700 euro with no period stated is cheaper than the Presspage newsroom at 20,000 euro per year. The Presspage plan includes a newsroom for outgoing content, not inquiry handling. The inquiry desk is a focused tool for receiving and managing press questions.
Does Presspage include a tool for handling incoming press questions?
Presspage does not document an inquiry handling module on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. Its plans focus on publishing press releases and media kits. If you need to handle incoming questions, that module from the Amsterdam supplier covers that specifically.
What is the cheapest option for a Dutch team that needs to manage press inquiries?
PR-Dashboard publishes EUR 2,650 per year for two logins on the Amsterdam database, EUR 1,325 per user per year, read 1 Sep 2026. The cheapest option with a published price for a Dutch team is that module at 2,700 euro, with no period stated. It handles incoming questions from journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders. No other vendor in the measured set publishes a dedicated inquiry handling tool at a lower price.
Can I use the inquiry desk alongside a Presspage newsroom?
You can use both tools together, but they are separate systems. Persvragen manages incoming questions, while Presspage publishes outgoing news. The combination would cost at least 22,700 euro, compared to this Dutch platform combination of the press-question module and the hosted newsroom at 4,450 euro.
