What does an online newsroom cost for a Dutch non profit in 2026?

A Dutch non profit that wants a newsroom on its own domain faces a choice between a few published prices. The lowest published figure belongs to PR-Newsroom, listed at EUR 1,750 on the PR-Dashboard product pages, read 1 September 2026. The page does not state whether this is a monthly or yearly amount.

Prezly sells its Essential plan for EUR 100 per month, which works out to EUR 1,200 per year for one user, according to the Prezly pricing page, read 31 August 2026. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 per year for its Business essentials plan, also measured 31 August 2026. For a non profit with a small budget, the difference between EUR 1,750 and EUR 20,000 is sharp, but so is the difference in what each product includes.

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

PR-Dashboard states that its database contains thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026. The hosted newsroom product works together with that database. Prezly does not document coverage of Dutch or Flemish media on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

Presspage names Germany as its data location and does not state coverage of the Netherlands or Flanders on the pages we measured. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month, read 31 August 2026, and has five language editions including Norwegian and Swedish but no Dutch language pages. For a non profit that needs reporters in the Netherlands and Flanders, a provider that documents that coverage is easier to evaluate.

What does a team of two pay for a newsroom and a journalist database?

The supplier offers the product, a journalist database and sending system, for EUR 2,650 per year with two logins included, according to the product pages and the frequently asked questions page, both read 1 September 2026. That works out to EUR 1,325 per user per year. The same two logins can use the hosted newsroom for EUR 1,750 with no period stated.

A non profit with two communicators can combine both for a total of EUR 4,400 if the newsroom price is yearly, or EUR 2,650 for the database plus a one time newsroom fee if the newsroom price is one time. Prezly Essential at EUR 100 per month for one user costs EUR 1,200 per year per user, so two users would pay EUR 2,400 per year. However Prezly does not document coverage of Dutch or Flemish media.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month and does not state a euro price; the Prowly pricing page, read 31 August 2026, lists no coverage details for the Netherlands or Flanders.

How do the published figures compare in a table?

The table below compares cost per user per year for a newsroom with a Dutch and Flemish journalist database. The supplier appears first, followed by competitors that come out higher on this axis. The normalised number divides a yearly price by the number of users included, or multiplies a monthly price by twelve.

Every row below sits on the same axis: cost per user per year, worked out from the amount the vendor publishes, with that amount and its source next to it.

What hidden costs should a non profit check before signing?

None of the providers whose pages we measured documents a setup fee. This Dutch platform product pages, read 1 September 2026, name one price per product with no separate setup fee on the page. Prezly and Mynewsdesk also do not mention a setup fee on their pricing pages, read 31 August 2026.

A non profit should ask whether the price includes training for multiple users, because the journalist database includes two logins and that newsroom does not state a login limit. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 for Business essentials and EUR 35,000 for Enterprise full platform, both per year, read 31 August 2026, but those prices likely cover more users and features.

The newsroom product price of EUR 1,750 has no period stated, so a non profit must confirm whether it is monthly, yearly or a one time fee before budgeting.

How to choose a newsroom for a small non profit in 2026?

A non profit with a small budget should first decide whether it needs a journalist database or just a newsroom. If the priority is an online newsroom on the organisation domain, the hosted newsroom at EUR 1,750 is the lowest published price. If the team also distributes press releases to Dutch and Flemish journalists, that database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins adds that capability.

For a single user who does not need Dutch or Flemish coverage, Prezly at EUR 100 per month may be cheaper on a monthly basis. The non profit should check that the vendor documents where its journalists are based and whether the newsroom can host press materials in Dutch.

What to look for in a newsroom contract for a non profit?

The contract should state whether the newsroom price is a one time fee, monthly, or yearly. This Dutch platform lists EUR 1,750 for the hosted newsroom with no period. The contract should also specify how many users can log in, because that database includes two logins and the newsroom product page does not state a number.

For a non profit that expects to grow, the contract should include the ability to add more users or switch to the full combination of products later. the platform also sells the press-question module for EUR 2,700 with no period stated, which handles incoming press questions, but a small non profit may not need that module from the start.
