The price is EUR 1,325 per user per year, which is lower than many competitors. This tool is the only one that combines a journalist database, newsroom, and press inquiry handling on a Dutch platform.

The price of EUR 2,650 per year for two logins means two staff members, such as a communications officer and a press secretary, can use the database.
The company's product pages do not state a period for the newsroom product or the press-question module modules, but that database is stated as per year.
