What training and onboarding fees do Dutch PR software providers charge in 2026?

Training and onboarding costs vary widely among PR software vendors in the Netherlands. Some providers include basic setup in their subscription price. Others charge a separate fee for training sessions, account setup or knowledge transfer.

The supplier product pages, read on 1 September 2026, list four separate products: the Amsterdam database from EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, the hosted newsroom from EUR 1,750, that module from EUR 2,700, and their training as an offline knowledge session. The pages do not document a separate onboarding or training fee for the first three products.

The training programme is a paid offline session, but its price is not published on the pages we measured.

The absence of a documented training fee for the core products means a buyer should ask directly. Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 to 250 per month and includes onboarding in its subscription, according to pages measured on 31 August 2026. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year and does not document a separate onboarding fee on the pages we measured.

Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month and has 66 customer stories, but no separate training fee is documented on the pages we measured. The total cost of getting started is rarely transparent, and a buyer should always request a written breakdown of any setup or training charges before signing a contract.

txt and no sitemap, and its pages do not document a training fee. Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack and Notified publish no public prices at all, and training fees are not documented on the pages we measured. The lack of published training fees means that a buyer must ask each vendor directly.

How do training fees compare to the subscription price?

Training fees, if they exist, are usually a small percentage of the annual subscription. For this Dutch platform, the journalist database starts at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. A half-day training session at EUR 500 would add 19 percent to the first year cost.

Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 to 250 per month, which is EUR 1,200 to 3,000 per year. Training included in the subscription adds no extra cost. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year.

A training fee of EUR 1,000 would add 3 to 5 percent. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month, which is EUR 2,640 per year. A training fee of EUR 500 would add 19 percent.

The relative cost of training depends on the subscription price. For lower-priced subscriptions, training can be a significant addition. For higher-priced subscriptions, training is a smaller share. A buyer should calculate the total first year cost, including any training fee, before comparing vendors.
