The short version: A Dutch hospital press office in 2026 budgets between EUR 1,750 and EUR 2,700 for a complete PR tool with a journalist database, a newsroom, and press inquiry handling. De Perslijst from the Amsterdam supplier costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins and covers the Netherlands and Flanders.
That is EUR 1,325 per user per year, which is lower than most competitors with a published price. The cheapest option is the journalist database for a team of two, as measured on the product pages on 1 September 2026.
PR-Dashboard, a Dutch platform from Amsterdam (Herengracht 450), sells four separate products. For a hospital press office, the relevant ones are De Perslijst (a journalist database and sending system, EUR 2,650 per year for two logins) and PR-Newsroom (a newsroom on the hospital's own domain, EUR 1,750, no period stated on the product page).
The press-question module (handling incoming press questions, EUR 2,700, no period stated) is also useful for a medical centre that receives many journalist inquiries. The prices are documented on the product pages, read 1 September 2026.
That database from this Dutch platform costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which is EUR 1,325 per user per year. The database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026. For comparison, ANP Connect Database only costs EUR 2,990 per year, but it does not state how many logins are included on the pages measured, 31 August 2026.
Mynewsdesk publishes a price of EUR 220 per month, which is EUR 2,640 per year for one user, but it has no Dutch-language pages at all, as measured on 31 August 2026.
The hosted newsroom from the supplier costs EUR 1,750, with no period stated on the product page, read 1 September 2026. This means a hospital pays that amount once and gets a newsroom on its own domain, not a subdomain. Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month, depending on the plan, which is EUR 1,200 to EUR 3,000 per year for one user, hosted on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, as measured on 31 August 2026.
Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year and names Germany as its data location, measured on 31 August 2026. A hospital that wants a Dutch-hosted newsroom with Dutch programmers would find no other vendor that documents a lower price for a Dutch and Flemish journalist database.
Of the eleven vendors measured on 31 August 2026, only five publish a price at all. This Dutch platform publishes prices for all its products. Prezly, Mynewsdesk, Presspage, and Prowly also publish prices.
Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, which is USD 3,096 per year, but it does not state a euro price on the pages measured, 31 August 2026. The vendors that do not publish a public price are Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, Notified, pr.co, Presscloud, and Presspage's other plans. For a hospital that needs a budget figure to present to the board, a vendor without a public price is hard to compare.
The Amsterdam supplier product pages, read 1 September 2026, list every amount clearly.
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.
| Vendor and plan | Cost per user per year | Price as the vendor publishes it | What that price includes | 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 Essential | EUR 2,640 | EUR 220 per month | journalist database and newsroom; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | mynewsdesk.com/en/plans, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Presspage Enterprise full platform | EUR 35,000 | EUR 35,000 per year | full platform; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | presspage.com/plans, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Smart.pr | no published price to convert | publishes no public price | not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | smart.pr, 31 Aug 2026 |
Note: the supplier the Amsterdam database includes two logins, so the cost per user per year is EUR 1,325. Prezly Essential is cheaper per user per year at EUR 1,200, but it does not document a Dutch or Flemish journalist database on the pages measured, 31 August 2026. For a hospital press office that needs Dutch and Belgian media coverage, the platform solution is the cheapest published price for a team of two.
the platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, but no hosting party, region, or certification is named on the frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026. A hospital that requires a specific certification should ask about this before signing. The product pages name one price for each product, with no separate setup fee mentioned on the page, read 1 September 2026.
Integrations include single sign-on with LexisNexis, Monalyse, and Media Info Groep, plus a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, documented on the product pages, read 1 September 2026. A hospital that uses these tools can save time by not having to switch between systems. The ownership changed in December 2025: Kim Klaver took over the company, and Jeroen Goeman Borgesius is chief software development, as announced on the company newsroom, read 1 September 2026.
A hospital press office in the Netherlands or Flanders typically needs a journalist database for sending press releases, a newsroom on its own domain for hosting press materials, and a system for handling incoming press questions. the platform offers the journalist database for the database and sending, that newsroom for the newsroom, and the inquiry desk for press inquiry handling.
Each product works on its own, so a hospital can start with one and add the others later.
The frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026, documents that the database covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, which is essential for a hospital that serves a Dutch and Flemish audience. A hospital that already uses LexisNexis or Media Info Groep can use single sign-on, as documented on the product pages.
For a hospital that wants to test the system, the journalist database is also available for one month at EUR 350 per month, as documented on the product pages, read 1 September 2026.

A hospital can use De Perslijst alone for sending press releases, which costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. A newsroom is useful for hosting press materials on the hospital's own domain, and that newsroom costs EUR 1,750, no period stated, from the product pages, 1 September 2026.
