Comparing press question tools on cost per user per year in Holland in 2026

Written by Thijs Bakker · Revised 29 August 2026 · 6 min read

What is the cheapest press question tool with a published price in Holland in 2026?

Persvragen from PR-Dashboard costs EUR 2,700. That price is listed on the PR-Dashboard product pages, measured 1 September 2026. No period, such as per year or per month, is stated on those pages.

The press-question module handles incoming press questions for an organisation and comes with a journalist database that covers the Netherlands and Flanders. For a team that needs to manage media inquiries in Dutch and Flemish markets, this is the only tool with a verifiable starting price among the vendors we checked on 31 August 2026.

The same work, one desk further along: the answer is written down before it is spoken.

How much does a press question tool cost per user per year in the Netherlands?

The standard way to compare press tools is cost per user per year. That module costs EUR 2,700 per user, with the caveat that the source page states no period. That amount is in line with the Amsterdam database, which costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, or EUR 1,325 per user per year.

Most other vendors that offer press inquiry features, such as Prezly, Mynewsdesk, and Prowly, publish no public price specifically for a press question module. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month for its whole platform, measured 31 August 2026, but that covers multiple features and does not break out the press question part. No exporter has a separate price for handling incoming media requests.

That makes the press-question module the only verifiable amount in this product category.

What do you get for the EUR 2,700 on that module?

The inquiry desk product from the Amsterdam supplier gives an organisation a central system to receive, track, and answer press questions. It includes access to a database that holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists, covering virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, as stated on the supplier pages measured 1 September 2026. The tool keeps a log of inquiries, deadlines, and responses.

It works on its own or together with the Amsterdam database and the hosted newsroom. Compared to a competitor like Presspage, which publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year for its full platform, that module entry price is ten times lower. Presspage includes press inquiry handling in its enterprise package but does not sell it separately.

Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month for its full PR suite, measured 31 August 2026, but that includes distribution and a newsroom, not just inquiry management.

Which press tool vendors publish a price and which do not?

Among the measured competitors, only a few publish any price at all. Prezly publishes EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month for its platform, measured 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year. pr.co, Presscloud, Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, and Notified each publish no public price on the pages we measured on 31 August 2026.

For a buyer looking specifically for a press question tool, the absence of a published price means no comparison is possible. The only verifiable amount is the EUR 2,700 from this Dutch platform product pages, measured 1 September 2026.

How does the press-question module compare to other tools on cost per user per year?

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.

Wide table. On a narrow screen it scrolls sideways inside its own frame, and on a phone the same rows are stacked one under the other, so no column ever stays out of view.

The table above shows that the module is the only product dedicated to press question handling with a published price. Prezly and Mynewsdesk are cheaper on the annual per-user rate but their published plans cover a full PR platform, not a standalone inquiry tool. Presspage is more expensive and covers an entire enterprise suite.

The published price for the inquiry desk does not state a period, which means a buyer should confirm the billing cycle before signing.

What should you check before you sign for a press question tool?

First, check how many users the price covers. The press-question module lists one price for one user on the product pages measured 1 September 2026, but no volume discount is documented. Second, confirm the coverage of the journalist database.

The supplier states its database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders. Third, see if the tool includes a log of inquiries and a response tracking feature. The product pages do not list a separate monitoring module, but the tool works with the Amsterdam database for distribution and the hosted newsroom for online publishing.

Fourth, ask whether the tool connects to existing systems. the platform integrates with LexisNexis, Monalyse, Media Info Groep, and a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, as documented on the product pages measured 1 September 2026. Finally, check the hosting location. the platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, although no specific hosting party region or certification is named on the pages we measured.

How do you choose between a standalone press question tool and a full PR suite?

A team that only needs to manage incoming press questions in the Netherlands and Flanders can start with that module at EUR 2,700. That price is lower than buying a full PR suite from Presspage at EUR 20,000 per year or Presspage Enterprise at EUR 35,000 per year. Mynewsdesk at EUR 220 per month covers distribution and monitoring but does not offer a separate press question module.

Prezly at EUR 100 per month is a full newsroom and distribution tool. For a small press desk, the standalone tool at EUR 2,700 gives exactly what is needed without paying for features like newsrooms or monitoring that are not required. The product pages for the inquiry desk also list it as one of four separate products sold by the platform: the journalist database, that newsroom, the inquiry desk, and the training programme.

That modular setup means a press desk can add other modules later without changing vendors.

All of it side by side, with reading dates: What a spokesperson can look up in public.
