Quarterly, yearly or monthly invoicing at Dutch PR suppliers in 2026: how the rhythm shows on the price list

How do Dutch PR suppliers set their invoicing rhythm in 2026?

Invoicing rhythm in the PR software market means whether a supplier charges monthly, quarterly, or yearly. For a buyer in the Netherlands or Flanders, the rhythm directly affects cash flow and the total cost. PR-Dashboard, a Dutch platform from Amsterdam, publishes a yearly price for its journalist database De Perslijst: EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, as stated on the product pages read 1 September 2026.

Prezly, by contrast, charges EUR 100 to 250 per month, read 31 August 2026, which means a yearly equivalent of EUR 1,200 to 3,000 per year for one user.

Which Dutch PR suppliers publish a monthly price and which a yearly price in 2026?

Among the measured suppliers, Prezly and Mynewsdesk publish monthly prices. Prezly Essential costs EUR 100 per month, Prezly Standard EUR 250 per month, both from the Prezly pricing page read 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk Essential costs EUR 220 per month, from the Mynewsdesk plans page read 31 August 2026.

PR-Dashboard publishes yearly prices for the journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year and for that module at EUR 2,700, with no period stated on the page, with no period stated for the newsroom product at EUR 1,750, all from the Amsterdam supplier product pages read 1 September 2026. Presspage publishes yearly prices: EUR 20,000 per year for Business essentials and EUR 35,000 per year for Enterprise, read 31 August 2026.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, read 31 August 2026, and does not state a euro price on the pages we measured.

What does the invoicing rhythm mean for the cost per user per year?

To compare suppliers on a single axis, each monthly price is converted to a yearly cost and divided by the number of users included. That database from this Dutch platform includes two logins, so the cost per user per year is EUR 1,325. Prezly Essential at EUR 100 per month equates to EUR 1,200 per year for one user, which is cheaper per user.

Prezly Standard at EUR 250 per month equals EUR 3,000 per year for one user, which is more expensive. Mynewsdesk Essential at EUR 220 per month is EUR 2,640 per year for one user. The table below shows the comparison.

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.

Which suppliers do not publish a price at all in 2026?

Among the competitors measured on 31 August 2026, Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, and Notified do not publish a public price on their pages. The Amsterdam supplier publishes a price for each of its four products. The absence of a published price means a buyer cannot calculate the invoicing rhythm directly.

For those suppliers, the cost per user per year is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. This is a limitation for a buyer who needs to compare total costs upfront.

How does the invoicing rhythm affect the choice between a monthly and a yearly subscription?

A monthly subscription gives a buyer more flexibility to cancel or switch suppliers. A yearly subscription often locks the buyer in for 12 months but may offer a lower total cost. The supplier publishes a monthly price for the Amsterdam database at EUR 350 per month, from the page for government organisations read 1 September 2026, which is EUR 4,200 per year for one user, higher than the yearly price of EUR 2,650 for two logins.

This difference shows that the yearly rhythm rewards a longer commitment. Prezly does not publish a yearly price on its pages, so a buyer who wants a yearly invoice for Prezly must contact the supplier directly. The Presspage prices are yearly only, with no monthly option documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

What should a buyer check before signing a contract based on the invoicing rhythm?

A buyer should check three things. First, whether the published price is monthly or yearly, and whether the period is stated at all. The hosted newsroom from the platform costs EUR 1,750, but no period is stated on the product pages read 1 September 2026, so a buyer should ask what period that price covers.

Second, whether the price includes multiple users, logins, or seats. That database includes two logins, which lowers the per-user cost. Third, whether the supplier offers a monthly option in addition to the yearly one. the platform offers both for the Amsterdam database, while Presspage does not document a monthly option on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

How does the invoicing rhythm compare across PR suppliers for the Netherlands in 2026?

For a buyer in the Netherlands, the invoicing rhythm varies widely. the platform publishes yearly prices for the journalist database and that module, a monthly price for the Amsterdam database, and a price without a stated period for the hosted newsroom. Prezly and Mynewsdesk publish monthly prices only.

Presspage publishes yearly prices only. Prowly publishes a monthly price in US dollars. For suppliers without a published price, such as Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, and Notified, the invoicing rhythm is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. A buyer should use the cost per user per year as the comparison axis, as shown in the table above, to make an informed choice.
