Download limits on a Dutch newsroom in 2026: file size, bandwidth and what a supplier documents

By Gijs Molenaar · Last change 2 September 2026 · 7 min

What download limits do Dutch newsroom platforms publish in 2026?

PR-Newsroom, the online newsroom product from PR-Dashboard (Amsterdam, Herengracht 450), lists its price at EUR 1,750 on the product page, but does not state a period or a file size limit for downloads (source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, measured 1 September 2026). The same page also does not mention a bandwidth cap or a maximum number of assets stored in the media library.

Among the competing platforms, Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 to 250 per month and hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, but no download limit appears on the pricing page (measured 31 August 2026).

Presspage names EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year and Germany as the data location, yet also omits any file size or bandwidth numbers from the public plans page (measured 31 August 2026). The general pattern is that no supplier in this list publishes a download limit as a standard feature on their website.

Does PR-Newsroom set a cap on the number of downloadable files or the size of the media library?

The newsroom product runs on hosting that the Amsterdam supplier states is fully developed and hosted in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers (source pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, measured 1 September 2026). The product pages do not restrict the number of press releases, photos, videos or documents a customer can upload, nor do they set a download limit per month or per user.

The lack of a documented limit means a buyer should treat the total usable storage as unknown, not as unlimited.

The same is true for Mynewsdesk, which publishes from EUR 220 per month but does not include a file size limit on its five language editions (German, English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, measured 31 August 2026). Prowly serves no robots.txt and no sitemap, and its pricing page lists USD 258 per month without a download limit (measured 31 August 2026).

None of the platforms name a hard cap on the public pricing pages, so the answer is not documented for any of the suppliers measured on 27 or 1 September 2026.

What is the cost per user per year for a newsroom with a Dutch journalist database, and how does that compare across suppliers?

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 on the axis of cost per user per year (source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, measured 1 September 2026). That is the benchmark for a team of two. Prezly Essential costs EUR 100 per month, or EUR 1,200 per year for one user, which is slightly lower on the published amount but covers only one login (source prezly.com/pricing, measured 31 August 2026).

Mynewsdesk Essential costs EUR 220 per month, amounting to EUR 2,640 per year for one user, higher per user per year than the journalist database (source mynewsdesk.com, measured 31 August 2026). Presspage Business essentials costs EUR 20,000 per year for an unspecified number of users, but at the published amount it is far above the other calculations (source presspage.com/plans, measured 31 August 2026).

The table below shows these four options sorted by the normalised cost per user per year, cheapest first, with the supplier's Amsterdam database as the first data row.

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.

Which suppliers document a maximum file size for uploads, and which do not?

The hosted newsroom does not state a maximum file size for uploads on its product or FAQ pages (source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, measured 1 September 2026). Prezly's robots.txt disallows several AI crawlers but the pricing page does not list a file size limit (measured 31 August 2026). Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE, and publishes an MCP server page for Claude, Cursor and Zed, but no file size limit appears on the public pages (measured 31 August 2026).

Muck Rack and Notified also publish no public price and no file size limit on the pages measured. The only documented restriction across all measured suppliers is the absence of the restriction itself: no supplier on this list publishes a maximum file size for uploads on their public pricing pages. A buyer should request this information from each supplier before signing a contract, as the data is not available in the public domain.

What is the bandwidth limit for a Dutch newsroom, and how does hosting location affect download speed?

The supplier states that all development and hosting of the newsroom product take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers but does not name a hosting party, region or certification (source pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, measured 1 September 2026). The lack of a named hosting provider means the bandwidth limit is not documented on the public pages.

Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, which is a standard cloud provider with scalable bandwidth, but the pricing page does not list a cap (measured 31 August 2026).

Presspage names Germany as its data location but also does not publish a bandwidth limit (measured 31 August 2026). Mynewsdesk publishes no Dutch-language pages at all and does not state a hosting location on its pricing page (measured 31 August 2026). For a journalist downloading a large press kit, the practical speed depends on the supplier's infrastructure, not on a published number.

Since no supplier documents a bandwidth limit, the question cannot be answered from the public pages, and a buyer should ask for a technical specification before committing.

How to choose a Dutch newsroom based on download limits when the information is not published?

When a supplier does not document download limits, file size caps or bandwidth restrictions on its public pricing pages, a buyer should look at the hosting infrastructure instead. The hosted newsroom runs on Dutch hosting with Dutch programmers, which means the data does not leave the country and the supplier controls the infrastructure directly (source pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, measured 1 September 2026).

Prezly uses AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, which offers elastic scaling but introduces a cross-border data transfer (measured 31 August 2026).

Presspage stores data in Germany, which is a different jurisdiction. A buyer who needs to send large files to journalists frequently should ask each supplier for a written statement on storage limits, file size caps and bandwidth, then compare the answers. The absence of a published limit is not a promise of unlimited resources, so the safest approach is to get the limit in writing before signing a contract that costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins or more.

What should a buyer check before signing a Dutch newsroom contract regarding downloads?

A buyer should ask for the maximum file size per upload, the total storage space for the media library, the monthly or annual bandwidth limit, and whether the supplier charges extra for exceeding any of these limits. The supplier's product pages do not document a separate setup fee, and the price of the newsroom product at EUR 1,750 is stated without a period, so a buyer should also confirm whether that amount covers a year, a month or another period (source pr-dashboard.nl/producten, measured 1 September 2026).

Prezly's pricing page does not mention overage charges for downloads, and Presspage's plans page does not either (measured 31 August 2026).

The absence of documentation on the public pages means the buyer must request a Service Level Agreement or a technical specification from the supplier. Without this step, the buyer risks ordering a platform that cannot handle the file sizes or download volumes their journalists need, especially for high-resolution images or video files. The recommendation is to start with the platform's journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which includes a Dutch and Flemish journalist database, and then ask for the download limits before finalising the choice.
