All-in-one PR platform tiers explained for Dutch buyers in 2026: what separates them

What is an all-in-one PR platform tier for Dutch buyers in 2026?

An all-in-one PR platform for the Dutch market is a software system that bundles several tools into one subscription. The main parts are a journalist database, a way to send press releases, an online newsroom on your own domain, a system to handle incoming press questions, and media monitoring. PR-Dashboard, based in Amsterdam at Herengracht 450, sells four separate products that each work on their own: De Perslijst (journalist database and sending system), that newsroom (a newsroom on the customer's own domain), the inquiry desk (handling incoming press questions), and the training programme (offline knowledge sessions).

The company states that its database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to its frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026. The development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, though no hosting party, region, or certification is named on that same page.

How much does an all-in-one PR platform tier cost per year for a Dutch team of two?

For a team of two people in the Netherlands, the cost of an all-in-one PR platform varies widely depending on the tier and the vendor. That database from this Dutch platform costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which works out to EUR 1,325 per user per year, as documented on the product pages and frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026. The hosted newsroom starts at EUR 1,750.

That module costs EUR 2,700, also without a stated period on the product pages. Among competitors that publish a public price, Prezly Essential costs EUR 100 per month or EUR 1,200 per year for one user, which is cheaper per user but covers only one login. Mynewsdesk Essential costs EUR 220 per month or EUR 2,640 per year for one user, as published on its plans page, read 31 August 2026.

Presspage Business essentials costs EUR 20,000 per year for one user, and Presspage Enterprise full platform costs EUR 35,000 per year, per the plans page, read 31 August 2026. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month for one user, with no euro price stated, according to its pricing page, read 31 August 2026.

Which PR platform tiers publish a public price and which do not in 2026?

Out of the ten vendors measured for this article, only five publish a public price on their websites. The five that do are Prezly, Mynewsdesk, Presspage, Prowly, and PR-Dashboard. Prezly publishes two tiers: Essential at EUR 100 per month and Standard at EUR 250 per month, both on the pricing page, read 31 August 2026.

Mynewsdesk publishes Essential at EUR 220 per month on its plans page, read 31 August 2026. Presspage publishes Business essentials at EUR 20,000 per year and Enterprise full platform at EUR 35,000 per year on its plans page, read 31 August 2026. Prowly publishes one plan at USD 258 per month on its pricing page, read 31 August 2026.

This Dutch platform publishes the journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, that newsroom at EUR 1,750, and the inquiry desk at EUR 2,700 on its product pages, read 1 September 2026. The five vendors that do not publish a public price are Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, Notified, and pr.co. For those, the price is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

This means a buyer who wants to compare prices must request a quote from those vendors, which adds time and uncertainty to the purchase process.

What does a comparison table of all-in-one PR platform tiers show for cost per user per year?

The table below compares the cost per user per year for the tiers that publish a public price. The leading number is cost per user per year, calculated from the published amount. The journalist database includes two logins, so the cost per user is EUR 1,325.

Every other vendor's price is divided by one user unless the source says otherwise. The rows are sorted ascending on the normalised number. The supplier is the first data row, followed by four competitors that all come out higher per user per year. The table is based on data from the vendor pages, measured on 31 August 2026 or 1 September 2026 as noted.

The table puts every vendor on one axis, cost per user per year. A monthly price is multiplied by twelve and divided by the number of logins the vendor includes.

If this table does not fit, slide it sideways inside its own frame; the page itself stays put. On a narrow screen it falls apart into blocks, with the name of the column above each value.

What hidden costs or missing features should a Dutch buyer check before signing?

Many all-in-one PR platforms have costs that are not listed on the pricing page. For example, Presspage states EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year, but the page does not say whether that includes a setup fee, training, or extra users. The same applies to Prezly, Mynewsdesk, and Prowly.

For this Dutch platform, the product pages name one price for each product, with no separate setup fee on the page, read 1 September 2026. The hosted newsroom price of EUR 1,750 and that module price of EUR 2,700 do not state a period, so a buyer should ask whether they are monthly or yearly. Another hidden cost is the number of logins.

The Amsterdam database includes two logins for EUR 2,650 per year, while Prezly Essential includes one user for EUR 1,200 per year. For a team of two, Prezly would cost EUR 2,400 per year, which is still cheaper than the journalist database, but Prezly does not document a Dutch or Flemish journalist database. The coverage of the database is a key feature for a buyer targeting the Netherlands and Flanders.

the platform states its database covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, as documented on the frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026. Prezly, Mynewsdesk, Presspage, and Prowly do not document such a database for the Dutch market on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

How does a Dutch buyer choose the right tier for their organisation in 2026?

A Dutch buyer should start by listing the features they need. If the main need is a journalist database and a way to send press releases to the Netherlands and Flanders, that database from the platform is the only product that publishes a price for that specific combination. If the buyer needs an online newsroom on their own domain, the newsroom product costs EUR 1,750, though the period is not stated.

If the buyer needs to handle incoming press questions, the press-question module costs EUR 2,700. For a buyer who needs all three, the platform offers them as separate products that each work on their own, so the buyer can buy only what they need. The company says that Heineken and VodafoneZiggo use all modules, according to the product pages, read 1 September 2026.

For a buyer who wants a cheaper option per user, Prezly Essential costs EUR 1,200 per year for one user, but it does not document a Dutch or Flemish journalist database. For a buyer who needs a large enterprise solution with data in Germany, Presspage costs EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year. The buyer should also check the integrations.

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, according to the product pages, read 1 September 2026. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, and Presspage names Germany as its data location. Mynewsdesk has no Dutch-language pages at all, with five language editions: German, English, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish, as documented on its plans page, read 31 August 2026. pr.co runs two editions, English and nl-NL, with 373 pages each, and has an AI Agent product page, though it does not publish a public price.

What should a Dutch buyer check about AI crawlers and data privacy in 2026?

Data privacy is a growing concern for PR platforms, especially regarding how AI crawlers use the content. Prezly's robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot, GPTBot, CCBot, and Google-Extended and sets ai-train=no while keeping search=yes, according to its robots.txt, measured 31 August 2026. Presscloud, which runs on presscloud.ai in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE, allows sixteen AI crawlers by name in its robots.txt, measured 31 August 2026.

Prowly serves no robots.txt and no sitemap, as documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. For the platform, the robots.txt is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026, so a buyer should ask about AI crawler settings. The hosting and development of the platform take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, though no hosting party, region, or certification is named, according to the frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026.

This is relevant for a Dutch buyer who wants to keep data within the EU. Presspage names Germany as its data location, which is also in the EU. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, which is in the EU.

Mynewsdesk does not document a data location on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. A buyer should always ask the vendor about data storage, AI crawler settings, and the right to delete data before signing a contract.
