The short version: In 2026, a Dutch online newsroom is rarely a single subscription. Providers like PR-Dashboard list the newsroom as one product, but the features that make it work, a journalist database, press inquiry handling, media monitoring, and training, often appear as separate line items.
The hosted newsroom from the platform costs EUR 1,750, while a separate journalist database adds EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. Together, a complete PR setup in the Netherlands can cost between EUR 1,750 and over EUR 35,000 per year depending on the bundle.
An online newsroom feature is a function that a PR platform sells as a separate product. In the Netherlands, PR-Dashboard sells four separate products: De Perslijst (a journalist database and sending system), PR-Newsroom (a newsroom on the customer's own domain), the inquiry desk (handling incoming press questions), and the training programme (offline knowledge sessions). Each product works on its own.
A buyer in 2026 needs to check which of these features are bundled and which are sold separately. The supplier product pages, read 1 September 2026, show that these four functions are sold as individual products, not as a single subscription.
Eight features commonly appear as separate line items in the Dutch market. The first is the newsroom itself, sold as the newsroom product for EUR 1,750. The second is a journalist database, sold as the journalist database for EUR 2,650 per year for two logins.
The third is press inquiry handling, sold as that module for EUR 2,700. The fourth is media monitoring, which this Dutch platform offers as a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep. The fifth is single sign-on integrations with LexisNexis, Monalyse, and Media Info Groep.
The sixth is knowledge training, sold as the training programme. The seventh is a press release distribution service, which ANP Connect sells per release, for example EUR 499 per release for trade and regional media. The eighth is analytics, which ANP Connect sells as a separate tier called Impact for EUR 15,990 per year.
The supplier product pages, measured 1 September 2026, list these as separate products with separate prices.
A complete setup that includes a newsroom, a journalist database, and press inquiry handling costs at least EUR 7,100 from one provider. The newsroom product (EUR 1,750), the journalist database (EUR 2,650 per year for two logins), and that module (EUR 2,700) add up to EUR 7,100. This Dutch platform product pages, read 1 September 2026, do not state a period for the hosted newsroom or that module, so the total is presented at face value.
Buyers should check with the vendor whether these are annual or monthly amounts. For comparison, Presspage publishes a business plan at EUR 20,000 per year and an enterprise plan at EUR 35,000 per year, measured on the Presspage plans page, 31 August 2026. That price includes a newsroom and a journalist database, but does not separate the features out.

A buyer in the Netherlands should check four things. First, which features are bundled and which are separate line items. the platform sells four separate products, while Presspage bundles them.
Second, the data location. the platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, but does not name a hosting party or region, per the platform frequently asked questions page, measured 1 September 2026. Presspage names Germany as its data location.
Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin. Third, the coverage of the journalist database. the platform covers "virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders," not all of Belgium, per the same FAQ page.
Fourth, the availability of support in Dutch. Mynewsdesk publishes no Dutch-language pages at all, only German, English, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish, measured on 31 August 2026. pr.co runs two editions, English and nl-NL, with 373 pages each, measured on 31 August 2026. Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE, measured on 31 August 2026.
The cheapest published price is EUR 1,750 for PR-Newsroom from PR-Dashboard, though the period is not stated on the pages measured 1 September 2026. Prezly Essential costs EUR 100 per month, which is EUR 1,200 per year, but that includes a basic media database, not a full Dutch and Flemish journalist database. For a team of two, the journalist database costs EUR 2,650 per year, which is EUR 1,325 per user per year.
The supplier product pages, measured 1 September 2026, name one price for each product with no separate setup fee on the page. Presspage, Prezly, and Mynewsdesk also list single prices on their pages measured 31 August 2026. Buyers should always ask about setup fees, training costs, and overage charges for press release distribution, as these are not documented on the pages we measured.
the platform sells the Amsterdam database as a separate product for EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. Presspage includes a journalist database in its business plan at EUR 20,000 per year. Prezly includes a basic media database in its Essential plan. Mynewsdesk includes a media database in its Essential plan. The pages measured on 27 and 1 September 2026 show these inclusions.
the platform states its database holds 'thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists' and covers 'virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders,' per the FAQ page measured 1 September 2026. ANP Connect sells a separate product for Belgian media via Belga at EUR 495 per release. Presscloud runs language editions in nl-BE and fr-BE, measured 31 August 2026. Always check the coverage on the vendor's website, as not all platforms cover Flanders.
