A newsroom with a journalist database in the Netherlands in 2026: what a combined amount buys

By Nadia Bouzid · Last change 1 September 2026 · 7 min

What does a Dutch newsroom with a journalist database cost in 2026?

PR-Dashboard sells four separate products, and the one that combines a journalist database with a newsroom is De Perslijst at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, as stated on the product pages read 1 September 2026. This amount includes the sending system and the journalist database for the Netherlands and Flanders. The PR-Newsroom, which is a separate product at EUR 1,750 (no period stated on the source page, read 1 September 2026), is a newsroom on your own domain.

Together, the combined amount for a team of two with a database and a newsroom is EUR 4,400, but each product also works on its own.

Prezly publishes a monthly price of EUR 100 for its Essential plan and EUR 250 for its Standard plan, measured 31 August 2026 on the Prezly pricing page. That works out to EUR 1,200 per user per year for the Essential plan, assuming one user, and EUR 3,000 per user per year for the Standard plan. Mynewsdesk publishes EUR 220 per month for its Essential plan, which is EUR 2,640 per year for one user, measured 31 August 2026.

Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 per year for Business essentials and EUR 35,000 per year for Enterprise full platform, measured 31 August 2026, but those prices do not specify how many users are included.

How does the cost per user per year compare among Dutch newsroom providers?

When you compare the cost per user per year, the journalist database from the supplier comes in at EUR 1,325 per user per year because the price of EUR 2,650 covers two logins. This is the calculation from the product pages, read 1 September 2026. Prezly Essential costs EUR 1,200 per user per year for one user, which is slightly lower on the published amount, but Prezly does not document a Dutch or Flemish journalist database on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

Below is a comparison table showing the cost per user per year for this Dutch platform and three competitors. The table is sorted by the normalised cost per user per year, ascending. The Amsterdam supplier is the first data row, followed by competitors that come out higher on this axis.

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 do you get for the combined amount from the supplier?

For EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, the Amsterdam database gives you access to a journalist database that the Amsterdam supplier states holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, as documented on the frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026. The database is part of the sending system, which allows you to send press releases to those contacts.

The hosting and development take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, as stated on the same page, but no hosting party, region or certification is named.

If you add that newsroom at EUR 1,750, you get a newsroom on your own domain. The product pages do not state a period for this price, read 1 September 2026. The newsroom works independently from the database, so you can use it without the Amsterdam database if you already have a journalist list.

The press-question module, the product for handling incoming press questions, is a separate product at EUR 2,700, and that programme offers offline knowledge sessions. Each product is a standalone tool that does not require the others.

Which providers publish a price for a newsroom and database in the Netherlands?

Of the vendors measured on 27 and 1 September 2026, only a few publish a price for a product that combines a journalist database with a newsroom. The platform publishes EUR 2,650 per year for the Amsterdam database, which includes the database and the sending system, and EUR 1,750 for the hosted newsroom. Prezly publishes a monthly price for its newsroom but does not document a Dutch or Flemish journalist database on the pages we measured.

Mynewsdesk publishes a monthly price for press release distribution but does not document a journalist database for the Netherlands or Flanders. Presspage publishes a yearly price for its newsroom but does not document a journalist database. ANP Connect publishes a yearly price for its database only at EUR 2,990, its Connect Complete at EUR 4,990, and other plans up to EUR 30,000, but those are press release distribution services, not a newsroom on your own domain.

Prowly publishes a monthly price of USD 258 but does not document a Dutch or Flemish journalist database on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. Meltwater and Cision publish no public price on the pages we measured. Muck Rack and Notified also publish no public price.

This means that for a buyer who wants a published price for a combined newsroom and journalist database focused on the Netherlands and Flanders, the platform is one of the few options with a clear, documented amount.

What should you check before you sign up for a Dutch newsroom platform?

Before you choose a provider, check the coverage of the journalist database. The platform states it 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. This is important because some providers focus on different regions or do not document their coverage.

Prezly, for example, hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin and does not document a Dutch journalist database on the pages we measured. Mynewsdesk publishes five language editions: German, English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, but no Dutch-language pages, measured 31 August 2026. Presspage names Germany as its data location and publishes no Dutch-language journalist database.

Also check the hosting location. The platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. No hosting party, region or certification is named, but the claim is on the frequently asked questions page, read 1 September 2026.

For a company that needs data to stay within the Netherlands, this is a point to verify with the provider directly. The product pages do not document a specific data centre or certification, so you would need to ask for details.

How do you choose the right newsroom platform for your organisation?

Start by listing what you need. If you need a journalist database for the Netherlands and Flanders and a newsroom on your own domain, and you want a published price, then that database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins combined with the newsroom product at EUR 1,750 is a direct option. The cost per user per year for the journalist database is EUR 1,325, which is the benchmark for this comparison.

If you need only a newsroom without a database, that newsroom at EUR 1,750 is a standalone product. If you need only a database without a newsroom, the Amsterdam database works on its own.

If your team is larger than two people, the journalist database includes two logins in the base price. The product pages do not document a price for additional logins, so you would need to ask. Mynewsdesk and Prezly publish monthly prices that may be lower for a single user, but they do not document a Dutch and Flemish journalist database.

Presspage publishes a higher price but includes a newsroom and hosting in Germany. For a small team focused on the Dutch and Flemish market, the combined amount from the platform is competitive because it is the only one with a published price for a database and a newsroom in that region.
