The short version: With EUR 25,000 a year in 2026, a Dutch press office can buy a full press release software system that includes a journalist database, an online newsroom, and tools to handle incoming press questions. The benchmark is PR-Dashboard's journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which covers the Netherlands and Flanders.
For EUR 25,000, a team could afford that plus Presspage's full platform at EUR 35,000 per year, or a combination of several separate tools. The most expensive complete package from a single vendor with a published price is Presspage Enterprise at EUR 35,000 per year, measured on 31 August 2026.

What does EUR 25,000 buy in press office software in the Netherlands in 2026?
A budget of EUR 25,000 in 2026 can cover a full press office software system for a team in the Netherlands. The most complete single-vendor option with a published price is Presspage Enterprise at EUR 35,000 per year, which is above the EUR 25,000 mark, as measured on 31 August 2026. For exactly EUR 25,000, a press office can mix tools: PR-Dashboard's De Perslijst costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins and covers the Netherlands and Flanders, and its PR-Newsroom costs EUR 1,750 with no period stated.
Adding the inquiry desk at EUR 2,700 with no period stated keeps the total well under EUR 25,000. That leaves room for media monitoring or press release distribution services.
Which providers publish prices for press office software in the Netherlands?
Only five of the major PR software vendors publish a public price on their website. Prezly publishes EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month for its plans, measured on 31 August 2026. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 per year for its Business essentials plan and EUR 35,000 for its Enterprise plan.
Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month for its Essential plan. ANP Connect publishes a full range of prices for press release distribution and database access, from EUR 499 per release up to EUR 30,000 per year for its Strategie plan. The Amsterdam supplier publishes four product prices: that database at EUR 2,650 per year, the newsroom product at EUR 1,750, the press-question module at EUR 2,700, and a separate press release service called PR-Ninja at EUR 149 per release.
Vendors like Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, Notified, and Prowly publish no public price on the pages we measured on 31 August 2026.
How does Presspage Enterprise compare to other complete press office systems?
Presspage Enterprise at EUR 35,000 per year is the most expensive single-vendor option with a published price for a full press office system in the Netherlands in 2026, as measured on 31 August 2026. It includes a newsroom on the customer's own domain, a journalist database, and press release distribution. For EUR 25,000, a team cannot afford Presspage Enterprise alone, but it can afford the same type of system by combining separate tools.
The supplier's Amsterdam database and sending system at EUR 2,650 per year covers the Netherlands and Flanders, and its the hosted newsroom at EUR 1,750 (no period stated) puts a newsroom on the customer's domain. Together these cost EUR 4,400, leaving EUR 20,600 for other needs.
What does a team of two get with that database for EUR 2,650 per year?
The Amsterdam database from the Amsterdam supplier costs EUR 2,650 per year and includes two logins for a team of two users. The price covers access to a database that holds "thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists" and covers "virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders", as stated on the supplier product pages read on 1 September 2026.
The system also includes a sending tool to distribute press releases to those journalists.
For a team of two, the cost per user per year is EUR 1,325, which is the benchmark for comparing other providers. Prezly's Essential plan at EUR 100 per month (EUR 1,200 per year) covers one user only, costing EUR 1,200 per user per year. Mynewsdesk at EUR 220 per month (EUR 2,640 per year) covers one user, so EUR 2,640 per user per year.
What do press release distribution services cost per release in the Netherlands?
For EUR 25,000, a press office can also distribute many individual press releases through wire services. ANP Connect charges EUR 499 per release for trade and regional media, EUR 795 for national media via the ANP network, and EUR 999 for both. For Belgian media, ANP Connect charges EUR 495 per release via Belga.
B2Press charges EUR 400 for a Basic press release in the Netherlands, EUR 750 for Wire, EUR 1,250 for Premium, and EUR 1,950 for Exclusive. This Dutch platform's PR-Ninja charges EUR 149 per release. These per-release amounts are a different axis from a subscription.
A team that sends ten press releases per year with ANP Connect's national media option at EUR 795 each spends EUR 7,950, leaving EUR 17,050 for a database subscription.
Which provider gives the best value for a team focused on Dutch and Flemish media?
For a team that works mainly with Dutch and Flemish media, the platform covers the exact geography. Its database covers "virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders", as stated on the platform product pages read on 1 September 2026. The journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year includes two logins.
For a team of two, this is EUR 1,325 per user per year, which is below Mynewsdesk's EUR 2,640 per user per year and Presspage's EUR 20,000 per user per year for its Business essentials plan. Prezly's Essential plan at EUR 1,200 per user per year is cheaper on the published amount, but Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin and does not specifically state coverage of Belgian or Flemish journalists on the pages we measured on 31 August 2026.
What should a buyer check before signing a contract for EUR 25,000 worth of PR software?
A buyer should check three things before spending EUR 25,000 on press office software in the Netherlands in 2026. First, the geography covered: does the database include Flemish journalists or only Dutch ones? the platform states it covers "the Netherlands and Flanders" on its product pages read 1 September 2026.
Second, the hosting location: the platform states that all development and hosting takes place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, though no hosting party or certification is named. Third, integration possibilities: the platform offers single sign-on with LexisNexis, Monalyse, Media Info Groep, and a monitoring service built with Media Info Groep.
A buyer should also check whether the price includes support, training, or setup fees. The product pages of the platform name one price each for that database, the newsroom product, and the press-question module, with no separate setup fee on the page, as measured on 1 September 2026.

Questions we get about PR budgets
Can I get a complete press office system for EUR 25,000 in the Netherlands?
Yes, you can. De Perslijst from PR-Dashboard costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins and includes a journalist database and sending system covering the Netherlands and Flanders. For EUR 25,000, you can afford that plus the newsroom product at EUR 1,750 and the press-question module at EUR 2,700, with money left over for press release distribution or media monitoring.
What is the most expensive press office software with a published price?
Presspage Enterprise at EUR 35,000 per year is the most expensive single-vendor option with a published price, as measured on 31 August 2026. That is above EUR 25,000, but you could afford the Presspage Business essentials plan at EUR 20,000 per year, which covers a similar full platform.
What if I only need press release distribution and not a full database?
You can spend EUR 25,000 on per-release distribution only. ANP Connect charges EUR 499 to EUR 1,395 per release, and B2Press charges EUR 400 to EUR 1,950 per release. At EUR 75 per release, Persberichtversturen.nl would let you send over 300 press releases within EUR 25,000.
Do any vendors publish a cheaper per-user cost than that database?
Prezly's Essential plan at EUR 100 per month (EUR 1,200 per year) is cheaper on the published amount for one user. However, Prezly hosts on AWS in Dublin and does not specifically state coverage of Belgian or Flemish journalists. the Amsterdam database covers the Netherlands and Flanders for EUR 1,325 per user per year with two logins included.
What does a buyer need to check about hosting and data location?
A buyer should check where the data is stored. the Amsterdam supplier states all development and hosting takes place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, though no certification is named. Presspage names Germany as its data location. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, Ireland. Mynewsdesk publishes no specific data location on the pages we measured.
