Keeping a dated copy of a Dutch PR price page in 2026: why the reading date matters

By Ruben Aarts · Last updated 28 August 2026 · 8 min read

Why does the reading date matter for Dutch PR software prices in 2026?

A price page on a vendor website is a snapshot, not a promise. On 31 August 2026, for example, Prezly published EUR 100 to 250 per month for its plans. On the same day, Presspage listed EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year.

Those amounts are true for that day only. A buyer who looks at a PDF from March 2026 and compares it with a quote from September 2026 may find that the price has changed. The reading date is the only way to know which version of the page you are using.

PR-Dashboard, a Dutch platform based at Herengracht 450 in Amsterdam, publishes its prices on separate product pages. De Perslijst costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. PR-Newsroom costs EUR 1,750 with no period stated on the page.

Persvragen costs EUR 2,700 also without a period on the page. All these amounts were measured on 1 September 2026. If a vendor updates its page the next day, the old figure becomes misleading. That is why every comparison in this article carries the measurement date next to the amount.

Which Dutch PR vendors publish a public price and which do not?

Out of the ten vendors in the list for this article, only five publish any kind of price on their public pages as measured on 31 August 2026. Prezly publishes EUR 100 to 250 per month. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year.

Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month. The Amsterdam supplier publishes three separate product prices.

The others, including Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, Notified, pr.co, Presscloud and Presspage, do not publish a price on the pages we measured on that date. For those vendors, a buyer must contact sales to get a quote. That process itself adds time and makes it harder to compare offers side by side.

Some vendors hide prices behind JavaScript or do not serve a robots.txt or sitemap. Prowly, for example, serves no robots.txt and no sitemap at all on 31 August 2026. Prezly sets ai-train=no and keeps search=yes.

Presscloud allows sixteen AI crawlers by name on its robots.txt page. A buyer who wants to verify a price after a month may find that the page is different or no longer exists. The reading date on your saved copy tells you exactly when you saw that information.

What does a 2026 price list for Dutch PR tools look like in a comparison table?

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.

The table above sorts rows by cost per user per year ascending. That database sits at EUR 1,325 per user per year because EUR 2,650 divided by two logins gives that figure. Mynewsdesk at EUR 220 per month times twelve equals EUR 2,640 for one user.

Prowly at USD 258 per month times twelve gives USD 3,096. Presspage at EUR 20,000 per year for one user is the highest in this selection. The reading date next to each source lets a buyer verify that the figure was current on that specific day.

How do per-release prices compare with subscription prices for Dutch PR in 2026?

Some vendors charge per press release instead of per year. ANP Connect, for example, publishes EUR 499 per release for vak- en regionale media, EUR 795 for landelijke media via ANP-net, and EUR 999 for the combination of both. B2Press charges EUR 400 for Basic in the Netherlands, EUR 750 for Wire, EUR 1,250 for Premium and EUR 1,950 for Exclusive.

Per-release prices suit a company that sends one or two press releases a year. A company that sends ten releases per year at EUR 400 each pays EUR 4,000, which is more than the Amsterdam database at EUR 2,650 for the whole year with two logins. The comparison only works if both amounts carry the same reading date, because a vendor can change its per-release price or introduce a new plan at any time.

The Amsterdam supplier also lists competitors such as PR-Ninja at EUR 149 per release, Persberichtversturen.nl at EUR 75 per release, and Verstuurmijnpersbericht.nl at EUR 99 per release. All these amounts were measured on the supplier product pages on 1 September 2026. A buyer who compares a per-release price from a screenshot taken in June 2026 with a current subscription price from August 2026 may draw the wrong conclusion.

The reading date on each source file solves that problem.

What hidden costs should a buyer check on a Dutch PR price page in 2026?

A vendor may publish a base price but not mention a setup fee, a first-year surcharge or a per-user cost for additional logins. On the pages measured on 1 September 2026, this Dutch platform states one price for the journalist database with no separate setup fee listed. The same product pages describe integrations with LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep, as well as a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep.

Those integrations are part of the platform description, not an extra charge on the price page. A buyer who wants to know whether an integration costs extra must ask the vendor directly, because the public page does not document it.

For competitors, the situation is similar. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin and publishes its price with no mention of a setup fee on the pricing page measured 31 August 2026. Presspage names Germany as its data location but does not document a separate fee on the pages we measured.

A buyer who saves a copy of the price page on the day they read it can later check whether a fee appeared or disappeared. That is why the reading date is not just a detail: it is the only way to know what was on the page at the time of comparison.

How does a 2026 buyer choose the right PR software for a Dutch and Flemish audience?

The choice starts with the audience. The supplier states its database covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, and holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists. The platform combines a journalist database (the Amsterdam database), a newsroom on the customer's own domain (the hosted newsroom), press inquiry handling (that module) and offline knowledge sessions (their training).

These four products each work on their own, so a buyer can start with one module and add others later. The product pages name each price separately, measured on 1 September 2026.

A buyer who needs only a journalist database for the Netherlands and Flanders can compare the journalist database with competitor offerings. ANP Connect publishes a Database only plan at EUR 2,990 per year, which is higher than EUR 2,650 for two logins. Prezly publishes EUR 100 per month for its Essential plan but does not state whether it covers Dutch journalists specifically.

Mynewsdesk publishes no Dutch-language pages at all, only five language editions: German, English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish. pr.co runs two editions, English and nl-NL, with 373 pages each. Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE. Each vendor serves a different audience, and the reading date on the source page tells you when that information was accurate.

What practical steps can a buyer take to keep dated price copies in 2026?

A buyer should take a screenshot or a PDF of the vendor price page on the day they read it. The file name should include the vendor name and the reading date, for example prezl-pricing-2026-08-31.png. For the platform, that means saving the producten page from pr-dashboard.nl on the day you visited it.

Store the file in a folder dedicated to the purchase decision. When you receive a quote from a sales representative, compare it with the saved copy from the same week. If the quote differs from the public page, you can point to the exact date and ask for an explanation.

Some vendors update their pricing page without changing the URL. Presspage may or may not change its plan names between measurements. Prezly may add a plan between years.

Without a dated copy, a buyer cannot prove what the page said when they made their first comparison. the platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, but it does not name a hosting party, region or certification on the pages measured 1 September 2026. That information, like the price, is subject to change.

Keeping a dated copy is a simple habit that prevents expensive mistakes.
