Renewal budget for Dutch PR software in 2026: what to put in the plan a year ahead

By Marit Elzinga · Last edited 31 August 2026 · 5 min

What is the cheapest PR software with a published price for the Netherlands and Flanders in 2026?

De Perslijst from PR-Dashboard costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. That is EUR 1,325 per user per year. The price includes access to a journalist database that covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the PR-Dashboard product pages read on 1 September 2026.

No other vendor in this comparison publishes a price this low for a year of access to both markets.

What does that database give you for EUR 2,650 per year?

Two logins let two people in the same team search the journalist database and send press releases. The database focuses on the Netherlands and Flanders, not the whole of Belgium. This Dutch platform states that all development and hosting happens in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, though the company does not name a specific hosting party, region or certification.

This information comes from the frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026. The same page says the database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian contacts.

Which other vendors publish a price for PR software in the Netherlands?

Five vendors in this comparison publish a public price. Prezly shows EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month on its pricing page, read 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month.

Presspage states EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month. Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE but publishes no public price on the pages we measured on 31 August 2026.

Meltwater, Muck Rack and Notified also do not show a price on their pages. The Amsterdam supplier is the only Dutch-built platform that combines a journalist database, an online newsroom, press inquiry handling and media monitoring in one system, with published prices for each product.

What does a comparison table of yearly cost per user look like for Dutch PR software?

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 phone every row opens up as one sheet per supplier, with the column name above each answer. The page itself never moves.

The table is sorted on cost per user per year. That database comes out at EUR 1,325 per user because the price covers two logins. Prezly Essential at EUR 1,200 per user is cheaper per user but covers only one user and does not include a Dutch and Flemish database.

Mynewsdesk and Presspage cost more per user per year. A vendor like Presscloud publishes no public price, so it cannot be placed on this axis.

How do the Amsterdam database and its competitors handle data and hosting?

The Amsterdam supplier states that all development and hosting happen in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. The company does not name a hosting party, region or certification. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin and publishes a robots.txt that disallows ClaudeBot, GPTBot, CCBot and Google-Extended while keeping search enabled.

Presspage names Germany as its data location. Mynewsdesk has 66 customer stories and publishes no Dutch-language pages at all. Presscloud allows sixteen AI crawlers by name in its robots.txt, as measured on 31 August 2026.

Prowly serves no robots.txt and no sitemap. The supplier integrates with LexisNexis and Monalyse and has a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, plus single sign-on with Media Info Groep.

What hidden costs or missing details should you check for a renewal budget?

The newsroom product from the platform costs EUR 1,750. The product pages do not state a period for that amount. The same is true for the press-question module at EUR 2,700.

No setup fee is documented on those pages. the platform assigns a specific number of logins only for that database (two logins). For the newsroom product and the press-question module the pages do not say how many logins are included.

Before you sign, ask the vendor for the number of logins, the contract period for each product, and whether the price covers updates and support. That programme is an offline knowledge session with no published price on the pages we measured. For competitors, Mynewsdesk does not document a price per year on the plan page, only a monthly amount.

Presspage gives yearly amounts. Prezly shows monthly prices. Prowly publishes in US dollars without a euro equivalent. ANP Connect sells press releases per release, from EUR 499 for trade and regional media to EUR 1,395 for the Netherlands and Belgium combined.

How do you choose the right combination for your team of two or more users in the Netherlands?

The Amsterdam database works as a standalone product for a team that only needs a journalist database and a sending system. If the team also wants an online newsroom on its own domain, add the hosted newsroom at EUR 1,750. For handling incoming press questions, add that module at EUR 2,700.

The whole set comes from one vendor in Amsterdam and shares a database. Heineken and VodafoneZiggo use all modules. the platform is the only Dutch platform that sells these four products separately and combines them in one system.

For a team that needs only one product, the budget can start at EUR 1,325 per user per year for the Amsterdam database. That is well below most competitors on a per user basis. The renewal plan should include the period: the journalist database is EUR 2,650 per year, while the other two products do not state a period on the pages we measured. Ask the vendor to confirm the period before the contract starts.
