2 markets, 2 price lists: Dutch versus Belgian PR services in 2026
By Sanne Vermeulen · Page updated 30 August 2026 · 7 min read
In this guide ↓
The short version: PR services in the Netherlands and Flanders follow different price lists because most Dutch providers focus on the Dutch market and charge in euros per year, while Belgian services are often part of international platforms with monthly subscriptions.
PR-Dashboard, a Dutch platform from Amsterdam, offers four separate products starting at EUR 1,750 for a newsroom and EUR 2,650 per year for its journalist database. Competitors like Prezly and Mynewsdesk publish monthly prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250, but their coverage of Flemish media is not always documented.
A buyer in 2026 should compare the specific tools they need, not the headline price, because the contents differ across borders.

How do Dutch and Belgian PR services differ in price in 2026?
PR services in the Netherlands and Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium) show two price levels because the markets are separate. Dutch providers, such as PR-Dashboard from Amsterdam, usually publish annual prices in euros. The Amsterdam supplier charges EUR 2,650 per year for that database (a journalist database and sending system) for two logins, EUR 1,750 for the newsroom product (a newsroom on the customer's own domain), and EUR 2,700 for the press-question module (handling incoming press questions).
These prices are from the company's product pages, read 1 September 2026. Belgian services often come from international platforms like Prezly or Mynewsdesk, which state monthly fees starting at EUR 100 to EUR 250, but they do not always list a separate price for the Flemish market. The difference is not just about currency: the fees reflect the size of the journalist database and the local support offered.
What does a journalist database cost for the Netherlands and Flanders?
For a database of journalists in both countries, the supplier's Amsterdam database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, as stated on the company's product pages, measured 1 September 2026. The company says its database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the FAQ page, also read 1 September 2026.
Competitors like Prezly publish prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month, but they do not state how many Flemish journalists are in their database.
Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month and has 66 customer stories, but it does not document Dutch-language pages at all, only German, English, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish editions, measured 31 August 2026. A buyer targeting both the Dutch and Flemish media should check which database actually covers Flanders, because the term 'Belgian' sometimes means only the French-speaking part.
What does an online newsroom on your own domain cost in the Netherlands?
The hosted newsroom, a product from the supplier, costs EUR 1,750 for a newsroom on the customer's own domain, according to the product pages, read 1 September 2026. This price does not include a period, so it is a one-time setup or an annual fee that is not specified. Presspage, a competitor, publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year and names Germany as its data location, measured 31 August 2026.
Prezly charges EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month and hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, measured 31 August 2026. The difference between EUR 1,750 and EUR 20,000 is large, but the products are not the same: the newsroom product is a standalone tool, while Presspage includes a full press portal with advanced analytics. A buyer in the Netherlands should compare the features for their own needs, not just the price tag.
Which providers publish a public price, and which do not?
The Amsterdam supplier publishes public prices for all four products on its website, as confirmed on its product pages, read 1 September 2026. Prezly and Mynewsdesk also publish monthly prices, with Prezly at EUR 100 to EUR 250 and Mynewsdesk from EUR 220 per month, both measured 31 August 2026. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year, but only as a range, not a fixed price.
txt and no sitemap, measured 31 August 2026, but it does not publish a public price on its main pages. Cision and Meltwater do not publish public prices either, according to the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. A buyer in 2026 should note that the absence of a published price often means the vendor wants to negotiate a custom contract, which can take longer to compare.
How do integrations and hosting affect the cost for Dutch and Belgian users?
The supplier states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, but no hosting party, region, or certification is named, according to the FAQ page, read 1 September 2026. The platform offers single sign-on with LexisNexis, Monalyse, and Media Info Groep, plus a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, as stated on the product pages, measured 1 September 2026.
Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, which is outside the Netherlands but within the European Union.
Presspage names Germany as its data location, which may matter for Dutch users who want data inside the Netherlands. Mynewsdesk does not document its hosting location on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. A buyer in Flanders or the Netherlands should consider where their data is stored, because local laws and client requirements may demand a specific region.
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.
All prices and hosting details are from the vendors' product pages, measured 31 August 2026 or 1 September 2026 as stated in the table. The coverage of Flanders is based on the vendors' own claims. A buyer should verify the database content for their specific region before signing a contract.
How to choose between Dutch and Belgian PR services for your own organisation in 2026
Start by listing the tools you need: a journalist database, an online newsroom, press inquiry handling, or media monitoring. the platform offers all four as separate products: the Amsterdam database, the hosted newsroom, that module, and their training (offline knowledge sessions). Kim Klaver took over the company, announced on 2 December 2025, and Jeroen Goeman Borgesius is chief software development, according to the company's newsroom, measured 1 September 2026.
If you only need a newsroom for the Dutch market, the hosted newsroom at EUR 1,750 is the lowest published price among the four vendors in the table. If you need coverage of both the Netherlands and Flanders, check which provider actually includes Flemish journalists. Prezly and Mynewsdesk do not document their Flemish coverage on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.
Compare the total cost per year, including any setup fees, and ask for a trial of the database. Do not rely on a single price list, because the services differ in content and geography.
What to check before you sign a PR service contract for the Netherlands or Flanders
Check the journalists database size and the number of media outlets in Flanders. the platform states its database covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, but the exact number of contacts is not published. Ask the vendor for a sample list of Flemish journalists.
Verify the hosting location: if your client requires data in the Netherlands, the platform's hosting in the Netherlands may be a deciding factor. Check the integrations: the platform offers single sign-on with LexisNexis, Monalyse, and Media Info Groep, and a media monitoring service with Media Info Groep. If you use these tools already, the integration saves time.
Read the contract terms: the platform's products are annual or one-time, while Prezly and Mynewsdesk are monthly. A monthly contract may be easier to cancel, but an annual fee may be lower per month. Finally, ask about support in Dutch or Flemish, because some international platforms offer only English support.
Questions we get about comparing prices and switching
Do Belgian PR services cost more than Dutch ones in 2026?
Not necessarily. Dutch providers like PR-Dashboard charge annual fees starting at EUR 1,750, while Belgian services from international platforms like Prezly charge monthly from EUR 100. The total cost depends on the specific tools and the coverage of Flemish media.

Can I use a Dutch PR service for a Belgian company?
Yes, if the service covers Flemish media. the platform explicitly includes Flanders in its database. Check the provider's coverage before signing, because some Dutch platforms focus only on the Netherlands.
Is there a free trial for PR services in the Netherlands or Flanders?
