In this guide ↓Bottom line: A newsroom placed on your own domain and matching your corporate design system saves your front end team from rebuilding components your brand already uses. The PR-Newsroom product from the Amsterdam supplier, at 1,750 euro with no period stated on the page, places a searchable press centre on your domain while the vendor handles the hosting.
The front end team writes the CSS and layout guidelines once, and the platform applies them. This keeps the newsroom inside the existing design without duplicating code or content.
PR-Newsroom from PR-Dashboard is priced at 1,750 euro on the vendor product page, read 1 September 2026. The page does not state whether that amount covers a month, a year or another period. A buyer should confirm the billing interval before signing.
De Perslijst, the journalist database sold by the same Amsterdam company (Herengracht 450), costs 2,650 euro per year for two logins, according to the same source. That newsroom works as a standalone product, so a team can add it without buying the other modules.
Among competing brands, Presspage publishes 20,000 to 35,000 euro per year on its plans page, read 31 August 2026. Prezly publishes 100 to 250 euro per month on its pricing page, read 31 August 2026. The newsroom product is not the cheapest on a monthly basis because Prezly starts lower, but Prezly does not state that its price includes hosting on the customer domain; the hosted newsroom is built specifically to sit on the customer domain.
The front end team delivers a set of CSS variables, fonts and layout rules. That newsroom applies those rules to every page of the press centre. The team does not write a secondary design. The result is a newsroom that looks like the rest of the site because it uses the same colour palette, typography and spacing.
The vendor states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. No hosting party or region is named on the page, read 1 September 2026. The team does not manage server infrastructure for the newsroom. The work is limited to providing the design tokens and testing the rendered pages on desktop and mobile.
This Dutch platform publishes a price for the hosted newsroom. Presspage publishes a price for its own newsroom product. Prezly publishes a price but does not state on its pricing page that the newsroom sits on the customer domain.
Mynewsdesk publishes from 220 euro per month, read 31 August 2026, but has only five language editions (German, English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish) and no Dutch-language pages. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month on its pricing page, read 31 August 2026, and does not serve a robots.txt or sitemap, according to the pages measured on the same date.
The customer domain requirement narrows the field to vendors that explicitly offer that feature.
The supplier states the newsroom goes on the customer domain. Presspage also states that its product uses the customer domain.
The table below compares this Dutch platform the journalist database with Presspage Business essentials and Prezly Standard. That database is used here because its price includes two logins, making it the nearest comparable subscription from the same vendor. The normalised column divides the annual amount by the number of included users.
Presspage and Prezly do not state how many users their prices cover, so the normalised amount counts as one user for those rows, which is the reading that favours the other vendor.
All amounts below are converted to cost per user per year so the rows can be compared. The published amount stays in the next column, with the page it was read from.
Swipe or scroll across the table to compare every column.
| Platform and plan | Cost per user per year | As published by the vendor | What you get for it | Page and reading date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PR-Dashboard De Perslijst | EUR 1,325 | EUR 2,650 per year for 2 logins | two logins, journalist database for the Netherlands and Flanders, published price | pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, 1 Sep 2026 |
| Prowly | USD 3,096 | USD 258 per month | outreach and media database; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | prowly.com/pricing, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Presspage Business essentials | EUR 20,000 | EUR 20,000 per year | online newsroom platform; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | presspage.com/plans, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Notified | no published price to convert | publishes no public price | not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 |
The team should verify that the newsroom renders on the same domain as the main site, not on a subdomain that breaks relative paths. This Dutch platform states the newsroom goes on the customer own domain. The team should also check whether the platform supports custom JavaScript for interactive elements like a calendar or an embedded social feed.
The vendor documentation does not mention JavaScript support, so the team should request a demo preview. The hosting location is the Netherlands, which may simplify compliance with Dutch data protection rules. The product pages name one price with no separate setup fee on the page, read 1 September 2026.
The Amsterdam supplier targets the Netherlands and Flanders. The pr.co website runs two editions, English and nl-NL, with 373 pages each, read 31 August 2026. Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE, read 31 August 2026.
Mynewsdesk publishes no Dutch-language pages at all, according to the pages measured on 31 August 2026. A team that needs a newsroom with a Belgian Dutch interface gets fewer options. the platform states that its database covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, read 1 September 2026.
A team that builds from scratch writes routes, a database model for press releases, an editor for the PR team and a public listing page. That work takes weeks for a single developer. A vendor newsroom replaces that effort with a configuration.
The front end team still writes the CSS for the public page, but the backend is already finished. the platform employs Jeroen Goeman Borgesius as chief software development, according to the vendor newsroom, read 1 September 2026. The team receives a maintained system rather than a codebase that requires upkeep.
PR-Newsroom from the supplier is listed at 1,750 euro on the product page, read 1 September 2026. The page does not state the billing period, so a buyer must confirm whether that amount covers a month, a year or another interval. Prezly starts at 100 euro per month, but its pricing page does not state that the newsroom sits on the customer domain.
Yes, the newsroom product applies CSS variables, fonts and layout rules that the front end team delivers. The team provides a design token set once, and the platform renders every newsroom page within that system. This saves the team from duplicating the design for the press centre.
Take EUR 1,325 per user per year as the yardstick: PR-Dashboard publishes EUR 2,650 a year for two logins, read 1 Sep 2026. PR-Dashboard's journalist database costs 2,650 euro per year for two logins, which is 1,325 euro per user per year. It covers the Netherlands and Flanders. No other vendor with a public price combines a journalist database and a newsroom on the customer domain for that per-user amount. Prezly is cheaper on the monthly amount but its price does not state whether the database covers Flanders.
No, the vendor hosts it. the platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. No specific hosting party or certification is named on the page, read 1 September 2026. The front end team does not manage servers or SSL certificates for the newsroom.
