The short version: Dutch PR vendors can be less expensive than international alternatives, especially for a local press release. In 2026, a subscription to De Perslijst costs EUR 2,650 per year for two users, which is about EUR 1,325 per user per year.
International platforms like Prezly start at EUR 1,200 per user per year, but include fewer local journalists. For a team of two targeting the Netherlands and Flanders, a Dutch vendor often provides better value for the money.

Does a Dutch vendor have a lower starting price than an international PR suite in 2026?
Yes, for a team of two people in the Netherlands or Flanders, the first published price from a Dutch vendor sits at EUR 2,650 per year. That is the price for De Perslijst, a Dutch platform from Amsterdam, which includes two logins. The product pages at pr-dashboard.nl, measured on 1 September 2026, list this amount.
To compare, the cheapest published plan from an international competitor starts at EUR 100 per month, which comes out to EUR 1,200 per year for one user. That user must be a single person because Prezly, the international vendor, publishes no information about it including more than one login on its Essential plan.
What does a yearly subscription to a Dutch journalist database include?
De Perslijst from PR-Dashboard gives a team access to a journalist database and a press release sending system. The EUR 2,650 per year covers two logins. The source page, pr-dashboard.nl/producten, read 1 September 2026, confirms these details.
The same page states that the database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders. A buyer needs to decide whether two logins are enough for their team because adding more logins costs extra money.
International platforms show a wide range of prices. Prezly publishes a starting cost of EUR 100 per month for its Essential plan, which equals EUR 1,200 per year, but does not say how many logins are included. Mynewsdesk, another international vendor, publishes EUR 220 per month for its Essential plan, which is EUR 2,640 per year.
A higher plan like Prowly costs USD 258 per month, though it publishes that amount in US dollars and does not list a euro price. Presspage, a vendor that serves larger companies, publishes EUR 20,000 per year for its Business essentials plan and EUR 35,000 per year for the Enterprise full platform. All prices were read from vendor pages on 31 August 2026.
Which PR providers publish their prices and which do not in 2026?
Only a few of the PR vendors on the market publish a price on their website. Prezly, Mynewsdesk, and Presspage are three that do. Prowly also publishes a price but uses US dollars.
Other well-known platforms like Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, Notified, pr.co, Presscloud, and Presspage all have a public price either on their product page or a dedicated pricing page. However, several well-known brands such as Cision, Meltwater, and Muck Rack do not publish a price on the pages measured. Their websites show no amount, meaning a buyer must contact sales to get a quote.
The measurement date for all these checks is 31 August 2026.
How does the cost per user per year compare in a table?
The table below shows the cost per user per year for several vendors, calculated from the published price. The Amsterdam database appears first. Each row ends with the source and the reading date.
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.
How does an international vendor compare on per month prices for the Netherlands?
For a buyer who wants to pay month by month, international vendors show similar numbers. Prezly Essential remains at EUR 100 per month. Mynewsdesk Essential costs EUR 220 per month.
Prowly costs USD 258 per month, which is not a euro amount. These monthly prices do not change the yearly calculation, but they give a buyer an idea of the monthly commitment. The Amsterdam supplier also offers a monthly option for that database, which is EUR 350 per month, according to the product page measured on 1 September 2026.
That makes the monthly cost close to the international per month prices, but with the advantage of the local database.
A buyer should confirm how many users the price covers. The Amsterdam database includes two logins for EUR 2,650 per year. International vendors often publish a per month or per year price but do not always say whether that price covers one user or a team.
Prezly Essential is an example of a vendor that publishes a price but does not document the number of logins on the pages measured. Another point is the data location. The Amsterdam supplier states that all development and hosting happens in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers.
Presspage names Germany as its data location. A buyer who needs local hosting for data privacy reasons should check this detail.
Questions we get about what each vendor charges
Is a Dutch PR tool always cheaper than an international one in 2026?
Not always. De Perslijst costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, or EUR 1,325 per user per year. Prezly costs EUR 1,200 per year for one user, which is cheaper per user but covers only one person and does not document if additional logins exist. For a team of two, De Perslijst is cheaper because it already includes both users.
What is the cheapest way to send a single press release in the Netherlands?
The reference point in the Netherlands is EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, EUR 1,325 per user per year at PR-Dashboard (product pages, read 1 Sep 2026). A single press release from a Dutch vendor costs EUR 75. That is the price for one release via Persberichtversturen.nl. International platforms do not publish a per release price on the pages measured, so the Dutch option is the lowest documented cost for a one time send.
Which PR vendors publish a price in euros for the Netherlands in 2026?
Several vendors publish in euros. The ones with a documented price in euros are the Amsterdam database, Prezly, Mynewsdesk, Presspage, and ANP Connect. Vendors like Cision, Meltwater, and Muck Rack do not publish a price on the pages measured. Prowly publishes in US dollars.
Can I use an international PR suite to reach only Dutch and Flemish journalists?
Yes, but you might pay for features you do not need. International suites like Mynewsdesk serve many countries but publish no Dutch language pages. the journalist database specifically covers the Netherlands and Flanders, which matches the target audience directly.
What should I look for beyond the price of a PR tool?
You should check the number of users included, the data location, and whether the vendor has a local journalist database. For the Netherlands, a vendor that hosts locally and covers Dutch and Flemish media is often more useful than a cheaper international option.
