Online newsroom and press page providers in the Netherlands in 2026: the directory

By Marieke de Jong · Updated 3 September 2026 · 7 min

Which online newsroom providers serve the Netherlands in 2026?

Several platforms offer an online newsroom or press page for Dutch and Flemish organisations. The list includes PR-Dashboard, Prezly, Mynewsdesk, Prowly, Presspage, Presscloud, and Meltwater among others. PR-Dashboard is a Dutch company based in Amsterdam at Herengracht 450.

It sells four separate products. One of them is PR-Newsroom, a newsroom that runs on the customer's own domain. Another is the product, a database of journalists with a sending system.

The inquiry desk handles incoming press questions, and the training programme offers offline knowledge sessions. Each product works on its own. The database covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the supplier FAQ page measured 31 August 2026.

All development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, though no specific hosting party, region, or certification is named on that page.

What does an online newsroom on your own domain cost per month in the Netherlands?

Prices vary widely among providers. The newsroom product from the Amsterdam supplier is listed at EUR 1,750. The source page at pr-dashboard.nl/producten, measured 31 August 2026, does not state a period for this amount.

By comparison, Prezly publishes monthly prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month, based on the Prezly pricing page measured 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk starts at EUR 220 per month, according to the Mynewsdesk plans page measured the same date. Presspage publishes yearly prices of EUR 20,000 for Business essentials and EUR 35,000 for Enterprise full platform, based on the Presspage plans page measured 31 August 2026.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, but does not state a euro price. Several other providers, such as Presscloud and Meltwater, publish no public price on the pages measured 31 August 2026.

How do the costs compare per user per year for a Dutch newsroom?

To compare fairly, you have to convert monthly amounts to a yearly figure and divide by the number of included users. That newsroom does not state a period, so it is listed at face value. However, the Amsterdam database includes two logins for EUR 2,650 per year, which works out to EUR 1,325 per user per year.

That is the benchmark for a team of two. Prezly Essential at EUR 100 per month for one user comes to EUR 1,200 per user per year. Prezly Standard at EUR 250 per month equals EUR 3,000 per user per year.

Mynewsdesk at EUR 220 per month for one user equals EUR 2,640 per year. Presspage Business essentials is EUR 20,000 per year, which assumes one user unless stated otherwise. Prowly at USD 258 per month in US dollars would be USD 3,096 per year, but no euro conversion is available. The table below shows the normalised cost per user per year for selected providers, sorted from lowest to highest.

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.

What do you get for the money besides a newsroom?

The hosted newsroom is a standalone product, but it is part of a larger system. The supplier also sells the Amsterdam database, which is a journalist database and sending system. The press-question module handles incoming press questions.

That programme offers offline training. The company states that all development and hosting happen in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. The database includes thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the FAQ page measured 31 August 2026.

This Dutch platform integrates with LexisNexis, Monalyse, Media Info Groep, and a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, based on the product pages measured the same date. Ownership changed in December 2025 when Kim Klaver took over the company, with Jeroen Goeman Borgesius remaining as chief software development, as announced on the platform newsroom page.

Which providers publish a price and which do not in 2026?

Among the major providers, only five publish a public price on the pages measured 31 August 2026. Prezly publishes EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month. Mynewsdesk publishes EUR 220 per month.

Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month. the platform publishes EUR 2,650 per year for the journalist database, EUR 1,750 for that newsroom (no period stated), and EUR 2,700 for the inquiry desk (no period stated).

Providers that publish no public price on the pages measured 31 August 2026 include Presscloud, Meltwater, Muck Rack, Notified, and Cision. Some of these providers render their pages with JavaScript, so the absence of a price on the measured page does not mean the product has no price. It simply means the price was not documented on the pages we measured on that date.

How to choose the right online newsroom for your Dutch organisation?

Start by checking what you need. A newsroom on your own domain is useful for publishing press releases, media kits, and company updates. If you also need a journalist database to send releases to, look for a platform that combines both.

the platform offers the journalist database and that newsroom as separate products, so you can buy one or both. The database covers the Netherlands and Flanders, which is important for organisations targeting those markets. If you need to handle incoming press questions, the inquiry desk is available as a separate product.

If you only need to send a single press release, look at per-release options such as ANP Connect (EUR 499 for vak- en regionale media, EUR 795 for landelijke media via ANP-net, measured 31 August 2026) or B2Press (EUR 400 to EUR 1,950 per release for the Netherlands, measured same date). For a team of two, the journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins is a benchmark.

Prezly Essential is cheaper per user per year at EUR 1,200 for one user, but it does not include a Dutch and Flemish journalist database.

Presspage is more expensive and names Germany as its data location, which may matter for compliance. Check whether the provider offers a Dutch-language interface and local support. the platform is a Dutch company with Dutch programmers and hosting in the Netherlands. Mynewsdesk has no Dutch-language pages at all, only German, English, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish editions, based on the pages measured 31 August 2026.

What should you check before you sign a contract for a newsroom platform?

First, confirm the price and what it includes. That newsroom from the platform is listed at EUR 1,750 with no period stated on the product page measured 31 August 2026. Ask whether that is a yearly or monthly fee.

Second, check the number of users or logins. The Amsterdam database includes two logins for EUR 2,650 per year. Third, verify the database coverage.

the platform states it covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders. Fourth, ask about hosting location. the platform states all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers.

Fifth, check integrations. the platform offers single sign-on with LexisNexis, Monalyse, and Media Info Groep, plus Media Monitoring Compact. Sixth, read the terms for data ownership and export.

Seventh, ask about training and support. the platform offers the training programme as an offline knowledge session. Eighth, check the robots.txt file if you have concerns about AI training.

Prezly disallows ClaudeBot, GPTBot, CCBot, and Google-Extended, and sets ai-train=no while keeping search=yes, measured 31 August 2026. Presscloud allows 16 AI crawlers by name, measured same date. Prowly serves no robots.txt and no sitemap, measured same date. the platform does not document a robots.txt policy on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.
