PR-Newsroom against a Mynewsdesk newsroom in 2026: what a Dutch buyer reads on each product page

Reporting by Eva Lindeman · Amended 31 August 2026 · 6 minute read

What does a Dutch online newsroom cost in 2026?

The PR-Newsroom from PR-Dashboard costs EUR 1,750, according to the product pages read 1 Sep 2026. The page does not state a period, so the amount is given at face value. Mynewsdesk publishes its Essential plan at EUR 220 per month, which works out to EUR 2,640 per year, on the plans page read 31 Aug 2026.

That figure covers one user, while the newsroom product amount includes the platform itself without a stated number of logins on the same page.

Among the other vendors that publish a price, Prezly charges EUR 100 to 250 per month, or EUR 1,200 to 3,000 per year, per user. Presspage charges EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year. The hosted newsroom is the only product that combines a newsroom on your own domain with a Dutch journalist database, called that database, though the Amsterdam database is sold separately for EUR 2,650 per year for two logins.

The hosted newsroom vs Mynewsdesk: what each product page says about the Netherlands

That newsroom is part of the Amsterdam supplier, a Dutch platform from Amsterdam at Herengracht 450. The product pages state that the database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, read 1 Sep 2026. Development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, though no hosting party or region is named on the pages we measured.

Mynewsdesk publishes five language editions: German, English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish. It does not have a Dutch-language page, as documented on the site read 31 Aug 2026. The company has 66 customer stories on its site.

Its data location is not documented on the pages we measured. The hosted newsroom page, by contrast, is written in Dutch and English and focuses on the Dutch and Flemish media landscape.

Which features does a newsroom on your own domain include?

That newsroom places a newsroom on the customer's own domain, so the press releases and media kit live under the company's web address. The product page lists this as a separate product, not a feature of another module. This Dutch platform also sells the product, a journalist database and sending system, that module for handling incoming press questions, and their training for offline knowledge sessions.

Each product works on its own.

Mynewsdesk offers a newsroom as part of its subscription, but the pages we measured do not specify whether it runs on a customer's own domain. The Mynewsdesk site shows a list of customer stories but does not name the data location or hosting region. The hosted newsroom page states that the system is built and hosted in the Netherlands, with Dutch programmers, read 1 Sep 2026.

This is a difference that a Dutch buyer can verify on the product page.

How do the two services compare per user per year?

The table below compares the cost per user per year for the PR-Newsroom and Mynewsdesk, along with two other vendors that publish a price. That newsroom amount of EUR 1,750 has no period stated on the source page, so it is shown as published. Mynewsdesk at EUR 220 per month equals EUR 2,640 per year for one user.

Prezly Essential at EUR 100 per month equals EUR 1,200 per year for one user. Presspage Business essentials at EUR 20,000 per year covers one user according to the plans page.

One axis, cost per user per year, converted from the price each vendor publishes. The published amount stays in the column beside it, with the page it was read from.

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 do the product pages reveal about data and hosting?

The newsroom product page states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. No hosting party, region or certification is named on the page, read 1 Sep 2026. The Mynewsdesk pages we measured do not document a data location or hosting region.

Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, according to its own documentation. Presspage names Germany as its data location on its plans page.

For a Dutch buyer, the hosted newsroom hosting claim is directly visible on the product page. The page does not name a hosting party, but it says the programmers are Dutch and the work is done in the Netherlands. This is a fact that a buyer can check on the site, read 1 Sep 2026. Mynewsdesk does not publish a similar statement on the pages we measured.

Which vendor should a Dutch team choose for a newsroom on its own domain?

A Dutch team that wants a newsroom on its own domain and a focus on the Netherlands and Flanders has that newsroom as a starting point. The product page names a price of EUR 1,750, covers the Dutch and Flemish media, and states that the system is built and hosted in the Netherlands. The page also shows that Kim Klaver took over the company on 2 December 2025, announced on the company newsroom, read 1 Sep 2026.

Jeroen Goeman Borgesius is the chief of software development, according to the same source.

Mynewsdesk is a Swedish company with no Dutch-language pages. Its pricing is higher per user per year at EUR 2,640, and it does not document a data location or a Dutch journalist database on the pages we measured. For a team that needs a newsroom in Dutch, for Dutch and Flemish journalists, the newsroom product page gives more information that matches that need.

The choice depends on whether the buyer values a Dutch-hosted system with a local journalist database over a larger international brand.

What should a buyer check before signing up for a newsroom service?

A buyer should check the product page for the exact price and what it includes. The hosted newsroom page lists EUR 1,750 with no period stated, so the buyer should ask the vendor what period that amount covers. The page also states that the database covers the Netherlands and Flanders, but the buyer should verify the number of journalists and media outlets for their own sector.

The hosting page says the development and hosting are in the Netherlands, but no party or certification is named, so the buyer may want to ask for details.

Mynewsdesk publishes a monthly price of EUR 220 and does not document a Dutch-language edition or a data location on the pages we measured. The buyer should ask whether the service includes a Dutch journalist database, which newsroom they get, and where the data is stored. The product pages of both vendors give the buyer a starting point, but the contract will answer the remaining questions.
