Linking the press desk to a Dutch newsroom on your own domain in 2026

Written by Thijs Bakker · Revised 31 August 2026 · 6 min read

What does a Dutch newsroom on your own domain cost in 2026?

PR-Dashboard from Amsterdam offers PR-Newsroom at EUR 1,750 with no period stated on the product pages, read 1 September 2026. That price includes a newsroom on the customer's own domain. That database, the journalist database and sending system, costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. Together these two products cover the basic linking of a press desk to a public newsroom.

For comparison, Prezly publishes EUR 100 per month for its Essential plan and EUR 250 per month for Standard, measured 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk starts at EUR 220 per month for Essential. Presspage begins between EUR 20,000 and EUR 35,000 per year. None of these competitors combine a Dutch and Flemish journalist database with an on-domain newsroom at the newsroom product's price point.

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

Which providers link a newsroom to a journalist database for Dutch media?

The Amsterdam supplier combines that database and the newsroom product in one system, both developed and hosted in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, as stated on the FAQ page measured 1 September 2026. The database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders. That is a specific scope: Flanders, not all of Belgium.

Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin and publishes no Dutch-language pages, measured 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk runs five language editions (German, English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish) with no Dutch version. pr.co offers two editions: English and nl-NL, with 373 pages each.

Presscloud operates in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE. Only PR-Dashboard and pr.co publish Dutch-language newsroom products that work with a Dutch journalist database.

What do you get for the money in terms of coverage and hosting?

The journalist database gives two logins to a database that covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the FAQ page measured 1 September 2026. That newsroom adds an online newsroom on the customer's own domain. This Dutch platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers.

No specific hosting party, region, or certification is named on the pages measured.

Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin and does not name a Dutch data location. Presspage names Germany as its data location. Mynewsdesk does not document a Dutch data location on the pages measured, 31 August 2026. For a Dutch press desk that needs data to stay in the Netherlands, the Amsterdam supplier is the only provider that explicitly states Dutch hosting with Dutch programmers on its FAQ page.

How do the costs per user per year compare?

The table below compares cost per user per year, calculated from the published amount. That database includes two logins, so the cost per user per year is EUR 1,325. Other vendors count as one user per price unless the source says otherwise. The table is sorted ascending on the normalised number.

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.

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.

This Dutch platform wins on the per user per year axis for a team of two, as EUR 1,325 per user is below Prezly Essential for one user (EUR 1,200 is cheaper but for one user only). Mynewsdesk and Presspage come out higher. Publishers with no public price include Prowly (USD 258 per month) and Meltwater, which are not documented on the pages measured.

What about per press release costs for Dutch media?

Some providers charge per press release instead of a subscription. ANP Connect publishes EUR 499 per release for trade and regional media in the Netherlands, EUR 795 for national media via ANP-net, and EUR 495 for Belgian media via Belga, all measured 31 August 2026. B2Press charges EUR 400 per release for its Basic Netherlands package, up to EUR 1,950 for Exclusive.

PR-Ninja charges EUR 149 per release, while Verstuurmijnpersbericht.nl charges EUR 99 per release. Persberichtversturen.nl charges EUR 75 per release. the platform also sells the journalist database as a monthly plan for EUR 350 per month, which works for one-off campaigns.

These per release amounts are a different axis. A press desk that sends many releases each year will find a subscription cheaper. A desk that sends one or two releases per year may prefer a per release model. the platform covers both: a subscription for frequent sending, and a monthly option for occasional use.

What integrations and add ons matter for a Dutch press desk?

the platform integrates with LexisNexis, Monalyse, and Media Info Groep for single sign on, plus a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, as stated on the product pages measured 1 September 2026. These integrations mean a press desk can link press release sending to media monitoring and analysis without switching systems.

Competitors approach integrations differently. pre.co runs an AI Agent product page. Presscloud offers an MCP server page for Claude, Cursor, and Zed.

Prezly's robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot, GPTBot, CCBot, and Google Extended, while Presscloud allows sixteen AI crawlers by name, both measured 31 August 2026. Prowly serves no robots.txt and no sitemap. For a Dutch press desk that values specific media monitoring, the platform's integration with Media Info Groep is documented on the product pages, while other vendors do not document a similar Dutch media monitoring connector.

How to choose for your own organisation in 2026

Start with your team size. That database includes two logins at EUR 2,650 per year. If you have a single person handling press, Prezly essential at EUR 1,200 per year for one user is cheaper on the sticker price, but does not include a Dutch journalist database.

If you need both database and newsroom, the newsroom product at EUR 1,750 plus the journalist database at EUR 2,650 total EUR 4,400 for two logins and a newsroom, which is below Presspage's starting point of EUR 20,000 per year.

Check the database scope. the platform covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders. Other vendors like Mynewsdesk have no Dutch-language pages at all, measured 31 August 2026. For a press desk that works with Dutch and Flemish media, a vendor without Dutch coverage is a gap.

Consider data location. the platform develops and hosts in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. Prezly uses AWS Dublin.

Presspage names Germany. For Dutch organisations bound by GDPR or internal data policies, a Netherlands based provider may be the safer choice.
