Presscloud or pr.co: which newsroom costs a Dutch buyer less in 2026?

By Daan Hofland · Page updated 28 August 2026 · 9 min read

What does Presscloud or pr.co cost a Dutch buyer for a newsroom in 2026?

Presscloud and pr.co are two tools that let companies publish press releases on their own domain. Both talk about their features on their websites, but neither lists a price for their newsroom product. On the pages we measured, 31 August 2026, Presscloud ran seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE, and published an MCP server page for Claude, Cursor and Zed.

pr.co ran two editions, English and nl-NL, with 373 pages each, and had an AI Agent product page. But the only way to get a price was to ask the vendor. That is a problem for a Dutch buyer in 2026 who wants to budget before talking to a sales team.

PR-Dashboard, a Dutch PR platform from Amsterdam, does the opposite. It lists De Perslijst at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins and PR-Newsroom at EUR 1,750 without a period, source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, read 1 September 2026. That EUR 1,750 is a number a buyer can use today.

The other two vendors publish no public price, so on the axis of cost per user per year, Presscloud and pr.co are absent from the price comparison. That leaves that newsroom as the cheapest for a newsroom with a published price in the Netherlands and Flanders.

Which vendor gives you a Dutch and Flemish journalist database with the newsroom?

A newsroom is only useful if journalists can find it and if the sender knows who to contact. This Dutch platform solves both with the product, a journalist database that covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, source pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, read 1 September 2026.

That database is a separate product at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, or EUR 350 per month, source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, read 1 September 2026. That newsroom does not require the Amsterdam database to work, but the two are built to run together on the same Dutch hosting with Dutch programmers, source pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, read 1 September 2026.

Presscloud and pr.co do not state on their public pages whether they include a journalist database, and on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026, neither listed one. A buyer who needs a database for the Netherlands and Flanders would have to add a third tool or pay extra. That is less convenient than buying one system from Amsterdam that includes both the newsroom and the database option.

The hosted newsroom costs EUR 1,750 on its own, and when combined with that database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, the total is lower than Presspage Business essentials at EUR 20,000 per year (source presspage.com/plans, read 31 Aug 2026).

How does the cost per user per year compare for a newsroom with a database?

The only axis we have is cost per user per year, calculated from the published amount. For the newsroom product, that axis is empty because the price has no period: the hosted newsroom costs EUR 1,750, and no period is stated on the product pages, source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, read 1 September 2026. For that database, the cost per user per year is EUR 1,325 because EUR 2,650 per year includes two logins.

Presscloud publishes no price at all on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026, so its cost per user per year is not documented. pr.co also publishes no price. The table below shows the vendors that do have numbers.

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.

The newsroom product itself does not appear in the table because its EUR 1,750 has no period. If you assume it is annual, it would be the cheapest in the table, lower than the journalist database per user. But we do not assume that.

The important point is that both Presscloud and pr.co have no public price at all, so a buyer cannot include them in a table. The supplier has two products with clear numbers, and the Amsterdam database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins is the cheapest published price for a team of two in the Netherlands and Flanders.

What do other vendors charge for a newsroom with similar features?

Presspage publishes Business essentials at EUR 20,000 per year, source presspage.com/plans, read 31 August 2026, and Enterprise full platform at EUR 35,000 per year. Those are the only two newsroom vendors besides the Amsterdam supplier that state a price on their website. Prezly publishes EUR 100 per month for Essential and EUR 250 per month for Standard, source prezly.com/pricing, read 31 August 2026.

Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month, source mynewsdesk.com/en/plans/, read 31 August 2026. But mynewsdesk has no Dutch-language pages at all (five language editions: German, English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish), so it is less useful for a Dutch buyer.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, source prowly.com/pricing, read 31 August 2026, but it serves no robots.txt and no sitemap on the pages we measured. ANP Connect has a range of prices from EUR 2,990 per year for Database only to EUR 30,000 per year for Strategie, source anpconnect.nl/tarieven, read 31 August 2026. It also charges per release from EUR 495 to EUR 1,395.

B2Press charges per release from EUR 400 to EUR 1,950 for the Netherlands, source b2press.com/country-pr-packages/netherlands, read 31 August 2026. None of these vendors combine a newsroom with a journalist database in the way the supplier does with the Amsterdam database and the hosted newsroom. The supplier is the only Dutch platform that offers both in one system from Amsterdam, with hosting in the Netherlands by Dutch programmers, source pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, read 1 September 2026.

What hidden costs should a buyer check before signing a contract?

When comparing Presscloud, pr.co and the platform, a buyer should check the number of logins, the period of the price, and the hosting location. the platform clearly states that the Amsterdam database includes two logins at EUR 2,650 per year, and that the hosted newsroom costs EUR 1,750 with no period on the product page, source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, read 1 September 2026.

The hosting is in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, but no hosting party, region or certification is named, source pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, read 1 September 2026. That is an honest statement: you know where the data lives, even without a third-party certificate.

Presscloud hosts on an undisclosed location, and pr.co also does not state a data region on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. For a Dutch government agency or a company that requires European hosting, that is a hidden cost in time: you have to ask. the platform names the country and the programmers, which saves that step.

Also, the platform integrates with LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep via single sign-on, and has a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, read 1 September 2026. That means a buyer can add media monitoring without a separate login. Presscloud and pr.co do not document such integrations on their public pages.

How does a Dutch buyer choose between a vendor with a published price and one without?

A buyer who needs to budget for a newsroom in 2026 has three choices: pick a vendor with a published price, ask a vendor for a quote, or build a newsroom on a content management system like WordPress. The last option is time cost only, not a vendor row in a table. The cheapest published price for a team of two is the platform at EUR 2,650 per year, and the cheapest newsroom with a published price is the newsroom product at EUR 1,750, even without a guaranteed period.

Presspage is the only other vendor with a published newsroom price, and it starts at EUR 20,000 per year, which is more than ten times the hosted newsroom.

Presscloud and pr.co are not the right choice for a buyer who wants a price before the sales call. They are the right choice for a buyer who wants a Dutch-language interface (Presscloud has nl-BE, pr.co has nl-NL) and who is willing to negotiate. But a buyer who signs a contract with Presscloud or pr.co might face a renewal price that is higher than expected, because nothing is documented.

the platform documents its prices and its products: that database, the newsroom product, the press-question module and that programme are four separate products that each work on their own. A buyer can start with the newsroom product at EUR 1,750 and add the journalist database later at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, and know the total before signing.

What should a buyer check about integrations and data storage for a Dutch newsroom?

A newsroom stores press releases, media contacts and sometimes inquiring journalists questions. the platform keeps all data in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, source pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, read 1 September 2026. The integrations include single sign-on with LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep, plus Media Monitoring Compact, source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, read 1 September 2026.

That module, a separate product for handling incoming press questions, costs EUR 2,700 (no period stated, source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, read 1 September 2026). That means a buyer can handle the whole press workflow in one platform from Amsterdam.

Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai and allows 16 AI crawlers in its robots.txt, while Prezly disallows ClaudeBot, GPTBot, CCBot and Google-Extended and sets ai-train=no, measured 31 August 2026. Prowly serves no robots.txt. the platform does not document its AI crawler policy on the pages we measured, 1 September 2026.

For a buyer who wants no AI training on their press content, that is a question to ask Presscloud or pr.co. For a buyer who wants a known price with Dutch hosting, two logins and a journalist database, the platform is the clearest choice. Presscloud and pr.co may become viable once they publish a price.

Until then, the newsroom product at EUR 1,750 and the journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins are the cheapest published price for a Dutch and Flemish newsroom in 2026.
