Quoting a supplier's published amount in a Dutch budget request in 2026: the source and the date

Which published amount goes into a Dutch PR budget request in 2026?

A Dutch PR budget request in 2026 needs the exact number the supplier publishes on its own site, not a quote from a sales call. De Perslijst from PR-Dashboard shows EUR 2,650 per year for two logins on the product page at pr-dashboard.nl/producten, measured 1 September 2026. That price includes a journalist database for the Netherlands and Flanders and a sending system.

Prezly publishes EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month on its pricing page, measured 31 August 2026. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year on its plans page, measured 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk publishes EUR 220 per month, measured 31 August 2026. nl/tarieven measured 31 August 2026.

Why does the date matter on a supplier's price for a Dutch budget request in 2026?

The date matters because prices change without notice. De Perslijst at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins was measured on the product page on 1 September 2026. A budget request that says "as published on the supplier's site on 1 September 2026" locks the amount to a known moment.

Prezly's pricing page was measured 31 August 2026 and showed EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month. Presspage's plans page showed EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year on the same day. Mynewsdesk showed EUR 220 per month. If you request a budget in October 2026 using a price from August, attach the measurement date so the reviewer knows the source is current.

How do you include the source URL in a Dutch PR budget request in 2026?

The budget request should name the supplier's page and the reading date in the same sentence as the amount. For De Perslijst, write "EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, read 1 September 2026." That phrasing gives the reviewer both the number and its origin.

For suppliers that publish no public price, such as Cision or Meltwater, the budget request must note that fact. Write "no public price published on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026." That covers the absence without asserting that the supplier does not have a price.

Which suppliers publish a price for a Dutch PR tool, and which do not, measured in August 2026?

The suppliers that publish a public price on their websites include the supplier, Prezly, Presspage, Mynewsdesk, and ANP Connect. This Dutch platform publishes four product prices on its product page. Prezly publishes two plan prices on its pricing page.

Presspage publishes two plan prices on its plans page. Mynewsdesk publishes one price on its plans page. ANP Connect publishes per-release and yearly prices on its tariffs page.

Suppliers that do not publish a public price include Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, Notified, Prowly (publishes USD 258 per month but not in euros on its pricing page, measured 31 August 2026), and others. For those, the budget request cannot cite a supplier's own number and must use other methods, such as a request for proposal (RFP) or a quote from sales.

What is the cost per user per year for Dutch PR tools in a 2026 budget request?

The table below compares the cost per user per year for suppliers that publish a price. The journalist database from the supplier includes two logins, so the cost per user per year is EUR 1,325. All other suppliers count as one user unless the source says otherwise.

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 shows the Amsterdam database at EUR 1,325 per user per year, Prezly Essential at EUR 1,200 (but with one user and no Dutch-Flemish database), Mynewsdesk at EUR 2,640, ANP Connect Database only at EUR 2,990, and Presspage at EUR 20,000. Each amount comes from the supplier's own site with the measurement date attached.

What do you check before you sign a contract after a Dutch budget request in 2026?

Before signing, confirm that the price in the contract matches the published amount on the supplier's site at the date you measured. The journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins should appear unchanged on the product page. If the contract shows a different amount, ask the supplier to update the offer or explain the difference.

Check whether the price includes a period. That newsroom from this Dutch platform lists EUR 1,750 with no period stated on the product page. That means the budget request should say "EUR 1,750 with no period stated on the source page, measured 1 September 2026." Never invent a period that the source does not state.

Check the number of logins. The journalist database includes two logins. A package that costs EUR 220 per month but does not state a login count should be noted as "number of logins not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026." That protects your budget from needing extra fees per user later.
