Training refreshers after a year at Dutch PR suppliers in 2026: recurring line or on request

Do Dutch PR platforms include refresher training after the first year?

Most Dutch PR software suppliers provide onboarding training in the first year. After that, refresher sessions are usually charged per request rather than as a recurring line. PR-Dashboard, a Dutch platform from Amsterdam, sells a separate product called PR-Bootcamp for offline knowledge sessions.

The PR-Dashboard product pages, read 1 September 2026, name one price for each tool and do not list a recurring training fee. Similar vendors such as Prezly and Mynewsdesk publish monthly fees from EUR 100 to EUR 250 and from EUR 220 per month respectively, but their pages do not document a separate refresher cost either. Training refreshers after the first year are typically an on-request cost, not a yearly subscription.

What does the training programme cost and how does it compare to other training options?

That programme is a product from this Dutch platform that offers offline knowledge sessions. The Amsterdam supplier product pages, measured 1 September 2026, do not publish a specific price for that programme. The company lists four products that each work on their own: the Amsterdam database, the hosted newsroom, that module, and their training.

The journalist database starts at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, that newsroom at EUR 1,750 with no period stated, and the inquiry desk at EUR 2,700 with no period stated. For a team that needs hands-on training, the training programme is a separate purchase. Other suppliers like Prowly publish a monthly fee of USD 258 per month, but their pages do not document a separate training session cost.

The training refresher is a separate line item, not a hidden cost inside the subscription.

Which Dutch PR vendors publish a price for refresher training and which do not?

Among the Dutch PR platforms measured, none of the five vendors that publish a subscription price also publish a separate refresher training fee. The supplier product pages, read 1 September 2026, name their training as a product but do not give a price for it. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year for its plans, and the pages we measured on 31 August 2026 do not document a training refresher cost.

Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin and publishes prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month, but does not show a training fee. Mynewsdesk has 66 customer stories and publishes from EUR 220 per month, with no Dutch-language pages and no documented training cost. The pattern is the same: refresher training is rarely a published price.

Buyers should ask the vendor directly whether a refresher is a recurring charge or an on-request fee.

How does the cost per user per year compare across Dutch PR tools with training included?

To compare the total cost, including training, the best approach is to look at the subscription price per user per year. The Amsterdam supplier that database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which works out to EUR 1,325 per user per year. The table below shows how this compares to other vendors.

Training refreshers are not included in these subscription prices, so the per-user cost is a starting point. A buyer who needs four refresher sessions per year should add that cost as a separate line item.

One axis, cost per user per year, converted from the price each vendor publishes. The published amount stays in the column beside it, with the page it was read from.

The table shows that the Amsterdam database is the cheapest per user per year for a team of two who need a Dutch and Flemish journalist database. Training refreshers are not included in any of these prices.

What should a buyer check before signing up for a Dutch PR platform regarding refresher training?

A buyer should ask three questions before signing up. First, is refresher training included in the subscription or is it a separate purchase? Second, is the training a recurring yearly cost or a one-time fee per request?

Third, what is the price per session? the platform product pages, read 1 September 2026, show that the training programme exists as a separate product but do not list a price. Other vendors like Presspage and Prezly do not document a training cost on the pages we measured.

A buyer should also check whether the training covers the whole team or just one person. For a team of two, that database at EUR 2,650 per year includes two logins, which is the same as two users. Training refreshers after the first year are typically on request, not a recurring line. The safest approach is to ask the vendor for a written price for two refresher sessions per year before signing.

What are the hidden costs of training refreshers at Dutch PR suppliers in 2026?

Hidden costs for training refreshers include travel costs for offline sessions and the time cost of sending staff to a training day. the platform their training is an offline knowledge session, so travel to Amsterdam is a potential cost. The product pages do not document a price for the training programme.

Other vendors like Prezly and Mynewsdesk offer online training, which may be included in the subscription or charged separately. The pages we measured do not document a separate training fee for any of these platforms. A buyer should also check whether the training covers new features that are added during the year.

If the vendor updates the software every quarter, a yearly refresher may be more useful than a one-time session. The cost of training refreshers after the first year is rarely published, so the buyer should ask for a written quote.
