What are the published amounts for Dutch PR tools in 2026?

Several vendors like Prowly and Meltwater publish no public price at all, so the only way to know their cost is to request a quote.

What does a comparison of cost per user per year look like for Dutch buyers?
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 phone every row opens up as one sheet per supplier, with the column name above each answer. The page itself never moves.
| Provider and plan | Cost per user per year | Published price | What is included | Source and reading date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PR-Dashboard De Perslijst | EUR 1,325 | EUR 2,650 per year for 2 logins | two logins, journalist database for the Netherlands and Flanders, published price | pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, 1 Sep 2026 |

Mynewsdesk and Presspage come out higher per user per year. Buyers should note that Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, while PR-Dashboard states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers (source: pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, read 1 September 2026).
What are the hidden costs to check before signing a PR tool contract?
Beyond the published subscription amount, buyers should look for extra charges. nl/tarieven, read 31 August 2026). com/country-pr-packages/netherlands, read 31 August 2026).
These per release fees can add up quickly for a busy PR team. nl/voor-wie/soort-bedrijf/overheid, read 1 September 2026). No setup fee is documented on the PR-Dashboard product pages, read 1 September 2026.
How should a Dutch buyer choose between a yearly subscription and per release pricing?
The choice depends on how many press releases a team sends each year. A team sending one press release per month could pay EUR 5,988 per year with ANP Connect at EUR 499 per release, or EUR 2,650 per year for De Perslijst with unlimited sending. A team sending 20 releases per year would pay EUR 9,980 with ANP Connect at EUR 499 per release, while the Amsterdam database stays at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins.
Buyers who send fewer than six releases per year might find per release pricing cheaper. The product pages of the Amsterdam supplier do not state a per release charge for its own system, read 1 September 2026. nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, read 1 September 2026). ANP Connect also covers Belgium through Belga.
What should a buyer check in a contract before signing in 2026?
A buyer should ask three things. First, how many logins or users does the price cover. Prezly and Mynewsdesk do not document this on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026, so a buyer must ask.
Second, where the data is hosted. The platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. Presspage names Germany as its data location.
Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin. Third, what integrations are included. nl/producten, read 1 September 2026). txt while Presscloud allows sixteen AI crawlers by name, measured 31 August 2026.
Questions from readers

De Perslijst from PR-Dashboard costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which is EUR 1,325 per user per year. Prezly Essential at EUR 100 per month is cheaper per year but does not document how many users that price covers on the pages measured 31 August 2026.

Yes. ANP Connect charges between EUR 499 and EUR 1,395 per release depending on the reach. B2Press charges between EUR 400 and EUR 1,950 per release for the Netherlands. This Dutch platform does not state a per release charge on its product pages, read 1 September 2026 on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026.
How can I compare PR tools when some vendors hide their prices?
For vendors that publish no public price, such as Prowly, Meltwater and Cision, you must request a quote. Compare the documented prices first. The journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins is a clear benchmark. Always ask for the number of users included in any quoted price.
Which PR vendors for the Dutch market state where they host their data?
The platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. Presspage names Germany as its data location. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin. Other vendors do not document a hosting location on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.
What should I check about AI training in my PR tool contract?
Check the vendor's robots.txt file. Prezly disallows several AI crawlers and sets ai train to no. Presscloud allows sixteen AI crawlers by name. Prowly serves no robots.txt at all, measured 31 August 2026. The product pages carry the price and the module names, so an AI training policy is worth asking the supplier.
