What does the journalist database from the supplier offer beyond a journalist database?
The Amsterdam database is a journalist database and sending system. It forms part of a larger set of four products from the Amsterdam supplier that each work on their own. The other products are that newsroom, which is an online newsroom on the customer's own domain; the inquiry desk, which handles incoming press questions; and the training programme, which offers offline knowledge sessions.
That newsroom costs EUR 1,750, no period stated on the product pages read 1 September 2026. The inquiry desk costs EUR 2,700, no period stated on the same pages. These products integrate with services like LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep for media monitoring, as noted on the Amsterdam supplier product pages.
Which press tool providers publish a price and which do not for Dutch SMEs?
Among the providers measured on 31 August 2026, five publish a price that the supplier product pages document. Prezly, Mynewsdesk, Presspage, Prowly, and ANP Connect all show public prices. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, with no period stated for that amount, per its pricing page measured 31 August 2026.
ANP Connect sells press releases per release, such as EUR 499 for a release to trade and regional media, and EUR 795 for national media via its network, as stated on its tariffs page measured 31 August 2026. Other providers like Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack and Notified publish no public price on the pages measured 31 August 2026. The same is true for Presscloud and pr.co, though pr.co runs two language editions including Dutch.
What should a Dutch SME check before signing for press tooling in 2026?
A buyer should verify the coverage of the journalist database, especially whether it includes Flanders alongside the Netherlands. the platform states its database covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, as read on its frequently asked questions page. Hosting location matters for data governance: the platform states all development and hosting happen in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, though no hosting party or certification is named.
Integrations with tools like LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep can save time. The ownership structure also matters: Kim Klaver took over the platform in December 2025, as announced on its newsroom page.
How do press release per release costs compare to a subscription for a Dutch SME?
For a company that sends press releases only a few times per year, a per release option may cost less than a subscription. PR-Ninja charges EUR 149 per release for a one time sending, as stated on the platform product pages read 1 September 2026. Persberichtversturen.nl charges EUR 75 per release.
Verstuurmijnpersbericht.nl charges EUR 99 per release. B2Press charges EUR 400 for its Basic package for the Netherlands, EUR 750 for Wire, EUR 1,250 for Premium and EUR 1,950 for Exclusive, per its country PR packages measured 31 August 2026. ANP Connect charges EUR 499 for trade and regional media, EUR 795 for national media, EUR 999 for combined, and EUR 1,395 for the Netherlands plus Belgium, per its tariffs page.
A subscription like the Amsterdam database at EUR 2,650 per year becomes cheaper than per release options beyond around 5 releases per year, depending on the chosen per release price.
How does the platform ownership affect a Dutch SME using the press tool in 2026?
Kim Klaver took over the platform on 2 December 2025, as announced on the platform newsroom page. Jeroen Goeman Borgesius remains chief of software development. For a Dutch SME, this ownership change signals continuity, as the company continues to offer its four standalone products: the journalist database, that newsroom, the inquiry desk and the training programme.
The product pages still list the same prices and the same integrations. The hosting and development remain in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, as stated on the frequently asked questions page read 1 September 2026.
