A Dutch and a Belgian newsroom address in 2026: one page with two language editions or two pages

By Gijs Molenaar · Last change 4 September 2026 · 7 min

What does a single newsroom with two language editions cost for Dutch and Belgian media?

PR-Dashboard a Dutch PR platform from Amsterdam, sells a newsroom product called PR-Newsroom. The product page lists a price of EUR 1,750 with no period stated, measured 1 September 2026. This single installation can host both a Dutch and a Flemish language edition on the customer's own domain.

The same database of journalists, which PR-Dashboard states holds 'thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists' and covers 'virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders', works for both editions. The source is the supplier product pages, read 1 September 2026.

For comparison, Presspage publishes a Business essentials plan at EUR 20,000 per year and an Enterprise full platform at EUR 35,000 per year, according to presspage.com/plans, measured 31 August 2026. Presspage names Germany as its data location. A single Presspage newsroom could serve both language editions, but the price is significantly higher.

Prezly offers plans from EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month, hosting on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, measured 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month, but has no Dutch-language pages at all, measured 31 August 2026. The newsroom product from the Amsterdam supplier is the only product that comes with a dedicated Dutch and Flemish journalist database included in the price.

How do two separate newsrooms compare in cost and effort?

Running two separate newsrooms, one for the Netherlands and one for Flanders, means paying for two subscriptions. If you choose that newsroom, two copies would cost EUR 3,500 total, with no period stated on the product pages, measured 1 September 2026. That is twice the work for content management and journalist database maintenance.

Presspage Business essentials would cost EUR 40,000 for two copies per year, and Enterprise would cost EUR 70,000 per year.

ANP Connect offers a database only plan at EUR 2,990 per year, and a Connect Complete plan at EUR 4,990 per year, measured 31 August 2026. However, ANP Connect does not sell a newsroom product; it sells press release distribution and a journalist database. For a newsroom on your own domain, you would need to add a separate tool.

The product pages from this Dutch platform, read 1 September 2026, show that the journalist database, the journalist database and sending system, sells separately at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. Combining that database with the newsroom product gives a complete setup for Dutch and Flemish media at a cost that is lower than two separate Presspage installations.

Which providers publish a price for a newsroom with Dutch and Belgian coverage?

The Amsterdam supplier publishes a price of EUR 1,750 for that newsroom, with no period stated, on its product pages, read 1 September 2026. The product explicitly covers the Netherlands and Flanders. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year, measured 31 August 2026, but does not state whether its database includes Belgian journalists.

The Presspage pages we measured, 31 August 2026, do not document coverage of Belgian media. Prezly publishes EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month, but its journalist database is not documented as covering Belgium on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month, but has no Dutch-language pages at all, measured 31 August 2026, and its database coverage of Belgium is not documented. the platform is the only vendor that publishes a price and states that its database covers both the Netherlands and Flanders.

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.

What hidden costs come with running two language editions?

If you choose two separate newsrooms, you pay for two subscriptions. With the newsroom product, that is EUR 3,500 total, no period stated. With Presspage, that is EUR 40,000 per year for Business essentials.

You also need to manage two journalist databases. the platform's journalist database includes two logins at EUR 2,650 per year, but that covers one database. For two separate newsrooms, you might need two separate database subscriptions. The product pages from the platform, read 1 September 2026, do not document a discount for multiple logins across different installations.

Content translation costs are another factor. Writing a press release in Dutch and then translating it into Flemish (which is similar but not identical) takes time or money. Some vendors, like Prezly, host on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, which means data crosses borders.

the platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, with no hosting party, region or certification named, source pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, read 1 September 2026. The product pages we measured, 1 September 2026, do not document any additional fees for translation or language switching.

How to choose between one page with two editions and two separate pages?

Start with your budget. That newsroom costs EUR 1,750, with no period stated, for one newsroom with two language editions. Two separate newsrooms from the same vendor cost double.

If your organisation sends fewer than 50 press releases per year, a single newsroom with language switching is likely cheaper. If you send hundreds of releases per year and need separate branding for each country, two separate newsrooms might make sense, but the cost per press release will be higher.

Check the journalist database. the platform states its database holds 'thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists' and covers 'virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders', measured 1 September 2026. That means one database works for both language editions.

Presspage, Prezly, and Mynewsdesk do not document coverage of Belgian journalists on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. If you need a single source of truth for both countries, the platform product is the only one that publishes this information. The product pages from the platform, read 1 September 2026, also show that the newsroom product works on the customer's own domain, which is important for SEO and brand consistency across both language editions.

What to check before you sign up for a newsroom serving the Netherlands and Flanders?

Confirm that the journalist database includes Flemish media. the platform explicitly states coverage of Flanders, measured 1 September 2026. Other vendors like Prezly, Mynewsdesk, and Presspage do not document Belgian coverage on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

Verify the language editions. the platform the hosted newsroom runs on the customer's own domain, so you can set up nl-NL and nl-BE versions. Prezly and pr.co both have English and Dutch editions, but pr.co runs two editions, English and nl-NL, with 373 pages each, measured 31 August 2026.

That means pr.co does not offer a Flemish edition. Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE, measured 31 August 2026, but Presscloud does not publish a public price.

Check the privacy and data location. the platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, measured 1 September 2026. Presspage names Germany as its data location.

Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin. If your organisation has data residency requirements, this matters. The product pages from the platform, read 1 September 2026, do not document a specific hosting party or certification, but the Netherlands location is stated.

For a tool serving both Dutch and Flemish journalists, having data in the Netherlands is a practical choice for GDPR compliance, as both countries fall under the same regulation.
