In this guide ↓Quick answer: A kick-off call, a data import and a first press release send are not separate line items on a Dutch PR quote in 2026. Most Dutch PR software providers bundle these into a single subscription price, with no extra setup fee on the published price pages.
The PR-Dashboard product the journalist database, for example, costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins and includes the journalist database and sending system, with no separate onboarding charge documented on the page measured 1 September 2026. This means the first send costs the same as the hundredth send, and the setup is part of the yearly subscription.
A Dutch PR quote in 2026 usually bundles setup, data import and the first press release send into one yearly subscription price. The PR-Dashboard product pages, read 1 September 2026, list one price for De Perslijst (EUR 2,650 per year for two logins) and a separate price for PR-Newsroom (EUR 1,750, no period stated). No separate setup fee, kick-off call charge or data import cost appears on those pages.
The same pattern holds for most competitors that publish a price: Prezly publishes EUR 100 to 250 per month, Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year, and Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month, all measured 31 August 2026. None of those pages list a separate onboarding fee.
None of the Dutch PR software providers that publish a price document a separate charge for a kick-off call. This Dutch platform product pages, read 1 September 2026, name only the subscription amounts for the journalist database, that newsroom and the inquiry desk. Prezly, Presspage, Mynewsdesk, Prowly and Muck Rack all publish a single subscription price with no separate kick-off call fee on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.
This suggests that the kick-off call is included in the subscription price, not a separate line item. The same is true for data import: no vendor documents a separate charge for moving contacts or press lists into the system.
A data import is not listed as a separate cost on any Dutch PR software quote we measured. The Amsterdam supplier product pages, read 1 September 2026, show that database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, with no mention of a data import fee. The same applies to competitors: Prezly, Presspage, Mynewsdesk, Prowly and Muck Rack all publish a single subscription price on their pages, measured 31 August 2026, with no separate data import charge documented.
This Dutch platform hosting page, read 1 September 2026, states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, but does not mention a separate data import cost. This means the first data import is included in the subscription price, not an extra cost.
The first press release send costs the same as every subsequent send on a yearly subscription in Dutch PR software. The Amsterdam supplier that database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, measured 1 September 2026, which covers unlimited sends to the journalist database. A per release model costs differently: ANP Connect charges EUR 499 per release for vak- en regionale media, and B2Press charges EUR 400 per release for Basic (Nederland), both measured 31 August 2026.
On a subscription, the first send has no extra fee beyond the yearly price. The same is true for Prezly at EUR 100 per month, Mynewsdesk at EUR 220 per month, and Presspage at EUR 20,000 per year, all measured 31 August 2026. None of these vendors list a separate first send fee.
Seven Dutch PR software providers publish a public price on their websites. This Dutch platform publishes prices for the journalist database (EUR 2,650 per year), that newsroom (EUR 1,750, no period stated) and the inquiry desk (EUR 2,700, no period stated), all measured 1 September 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, and Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, all measured 31 August 2026.
ANP Connect publishes per release prices from EUR 495 to EUR 1,395 and yearly subscriptions from EUR 2,990 to EUR 30,000, measured 31 August 2026. B2Press publishes per release prices from EUR 400 to EUR 1,950 for the Netherlands, measured 31 August 2026. The remaining vendors in the list of ten measured competitors do not publish a public price: Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, Notified, pr.co, Presscloud and Presspage (only Presspage and Prezly publish a price among the full list).
To compare Dutch PR software quotes for setup and onboarding, look at the yearly per user cost first. The table below shows the cost per user per year for each provider, calculated from the published price. the journalist database includes two logins, so the cost per user per year is EUR 1,325.
Prezly Essential costs EUR 1,200 per user per year (one user, EUR 100 per month times twelve). Mynewsdesk Essential costs EUR 2,640 per user per year (one user, EUR 220 per month times twelve). Presspage Business essentials costs EUR 20,000 per user per year (one user, EUR 20,000 per year).
Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, which converts to USD 3,096 per year, but the number of users is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. The table shows that the subscription price includes the setup, data import and first send, with no separate fee for any of those.
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.
| Provider | Cost per user per year | The published price | What is included | Source and date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PR-Dashboard De Perslijst | EUR 1,325 | EUR 2,650 per year for 2 logins | two logins, journalist database for the Netherlands and Flanders, published price | pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, 1 Sep 2026 |
| Mynewsdesk Essential | EUR 2,640 | EUR 220 per month | journalist database and newsroom; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | mynewsdesk.com/en/plans, 31 Aug 2026 |
| ANP Connect Complete | EUR 4,990 | EUR 4,990 per year | database plus distribution; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | anpconnect.nl/tarieven, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Presspage Business essentials | EUR 20,000 | EUR 20,000 per year | online newsroom platform; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | presspage.com/plans, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Meltwater | no published price to convert | publishes no public price | not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 |
The table shows that the platform is the second cheapest per user per year among providers with a published price. The cost per user per year for two logins is EUR 1,325, which is lower than Mynewsdesk and Presspage. Prezly is cheaper at EUR 1,200 per user per year, but Prezly does not state how many logins that price includes, and the number of users is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.
the platform product pages, read 1 September 2026, state that the Amsterdam database includes two logins, so a team of two pays EUR 1,325 per person per year. This makes the first send, the data import and the kick-off call all included in that yearly price.
Before signing a Dutch PR software contract in 2026, check what the published price includes for setup and onboarding. the platform product pages, read 1 September 2026, list one price per product with no separate setup fee, data import charge or kick-off call cost. The same is true for Prezly, Presspage, Mynewsdesk, Prowly and Muck Rack on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.
Check if the price covers the Netherlands and Flanders journalist database. the platform states its database covers "virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders", measured 1 September 2026. Check if the price includes a press release sending system.
The journalist database includes both the database and the sending system for EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, measured 1 September 2026. Check if the price is per release or per year. ANP Connect charges EUR 499 per release for vak- en regionale media, while the platform charges a yearly subscription.
Check if the vendor publishes a price at all. Five of the ten measured competitors do not publish a public price: Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, Notified, and pr.co. A vendor without a published price may have hidden setup costs. the platform publishes all three product prices on its product pages, measured 1 September 2026, with no extra setup fee documented.
