In this guide ↓At a glance: In 2026, most PR suppliers do not publish a data location for Dutch customers. PR-Dashboard states that its development and hosting happen in the Netherlands, but does not name a cloud provider, a region or a certification.
Presspage names Germany as its data location. Prezly hosts on AWS in Dublin.
Mynewsdesk, Prowly, Muck Rack, Cision, Meltwater and Notified do not document a data location on the pages measured 31 August 2026. Of the ten suppliers in this comparison, three publish a location: the platform, Presspage and Prezly.
Dutch organisations that buy a PR tool need to know where their data is stored. In 2026, only a few suppliers publish a data location. PR-Dashboard, a Dutch platform from Amsterdam, states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers.
The company does not name a specific hosting party, a region, or a certification. This information comes from the PR-Dashboard FAQ page, read 1 September 2026. Presspage, a German company, names Germany as its data location.
Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, Ireland. The other seven suppliers in this comparison do not document a data location on the pages we measured.
This Dutch platform states that its hosting happens in the Netherlands. The company writes that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. The source is the Amsterdam supplier FAQ page, read 1 September 2026.
The company does not name a cloud provider, a specific region within the Netherlands, or a certification like ISO 27001. For a Dutch customer, this means the data stays inside the country. This is a direct statement from the vendor, not an assumption.
The product pages for that database (journalist database and sending system, from EUR 2,650 per year for two logins), the newsroom product (a newsroom on the customer's own domain, from EUR 1,750), and the press-question module (handling incoming press questions, from EUR 2,700) do not mention hosting separately. The hosting information is only on the FAQ page.
Of the competitors measured, two publish a data location. Presspage names Germany as its data location. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, Ireland.
These are the only two competing suppliers that document a location on their pages. The other seven suppliers Mynewsdesk, Prowly, Muck Rack, Cision, Meltwater, Notified, and Presscloud do not document a data location on the pages we measured. Mynewsdesk publishes five language editions (German, English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish) but does not name a hosting location.
Prowly serves no robots.txt and no sitemap, which makes it harder to verify. Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE, but does not name a hosting location. All pages were measured 31 August 2026.
Three suppliers name a data location: the supplier, Presspage and Prezly. The table below compares their cost per user per year. the Amsterdam database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which is EUR 1,325 per user per year.
Prezly Essential costs EUR 100 per month, which is EUR 1,200 per year for one user. Prezly Standard costs EUR 250 per month, which is EUR 3,000 per year for one user. Presspage Business essentials costs EUR 20,000 per year for one login.
Presspage Enterprise costs EUR 35,000 per year for one login. The table is sorted from lowest to highest cost per user per year.
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.
| Provider and plan | Cost per user per year | Published price | What is included | Source and reading 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 |
| Prowly | USD 3,096 | USD 258 per month | outreach and media database; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | prowly.com/pricing, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Presspage Enterprise full platform | EUR 35,000 | EUR 35,000 per year | full platform; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | presspage.com/plans, 31 Aug 2026 |
The table shows that the journalist database is the second cheapest option per user per year on this axis. Prezly Essential is cheaper per user per year, but does not document how many logins that price includes. Presspage is the most expensive option on this list, but it names Germany as a data location. the platform names the Netherlands, which is a closer location for Dutch customers.
A Dutch buyer should check three things. First, whether the supplier publishes a data location. Second, whether the location is in the European Union.
Third, whether the supplier names a certification or a hosting provider. the platform states that hosting takes place in the Netherlands, but does not name a specific hosting party or a certification. Presspage names Germany, which is in the EU.
Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, which is also in the EU. Mynewsdesk, Prowly, Muck Rack, Cision, Meltwater, and Notified do not document a data location on the pages we measured. A buyer who needs a guarantee about data location should ask the supplier directly. The pages measured 31 August 2026 show that only three out of ten suppliers make this information public.
Data location matters for privacy compliance and for trust. A Dutch buyer who wants data to stay in the Netherlands has a choice of one supplier that states this the platform. A buyer who is fine with data in the EU has three options: the platform, Presspage and Prezly.
The other suppliers do not document a location. This does not mean they have no location, only that the information is not on the pages we measured. A buyer who needs a specific location, such as the Netherlands, should ask the supplier before buying.
The platform FAQ page, read 1 September 2026, is the only public source that states the Netherlands as a hosting location. Presspage states Germany. Prezly states Dublin. No other supplier in this comparison publishes a data location.
Seven suppliers publish no data location on the pages we measured. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month but does not name a location. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month but does not name a location.
Meltwater, Cision, Muck Rack, Notified, and Presscloud also do not document a data location. This does not mean these suppliers have no data location. It means the information is not on the public pages we measured.
For a buyer who needs this information, the absence is a signal to ask the supplier directly. The pages were measured 31 August 2026. A buyer should always check the latest version of the supplier's website or contact the supplier for the most current information.
PR-Dashboard states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands. Presspage names Germany. Prezly hosts on AWS in Dublin. The other seven suppliers in this comparison do not document a data location on the pages measured 31 August 2026.
No. the platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, but does not name a specific hosting party, a region, or a certification. The source is the platform FAQ page, read 1 September 2026.
It depends on the buyer's compliance needs. A data location in the Netherlands or the EU helps with GDPR compliance. the platform is the only supplier that states the Netherlands. Presspage states Germany. Prezly states Dublin. Both are in the EU.
You should ask the supplier directly. The absence of a data location on the public pages does not mean the supplier has none. The pages we measured 31 August 2026 may not show the full picture. Always check the latest version of the website or contact the supplier.
Measured on one axis, De Perslijst costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, so EUR 1,325 per user per year (pr-dashboard.nl/producten, read 1 Sep 2026). On the published price, Prezly Essential costs EUR 100 per month. Prezly Essential is EUR 100 per month, EUR 1,200 per year, and how many logins that amount includes is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026. That is EUR 1,200 per year. the journalist database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which is EUR 1,325 per user per year. Prezly Essential is cheaper per user per year, but the number of logins that price includes is not documented.
