How does press inquiry handling compare to a part-time employee?

A part-time receptionist or communications officer in the Netherlands costs roughly EUR 25,000 per year in salary plus employer costs for 20 hours per week. That person can handle press questions, but also does other work. A software system for EUR 2,700, with no period stated on the page handles the logging and routing part. The human still decides what to say and who responds.

The software saves about 10 hours per week of administrative work. At EUR 25 per hour in salary cost, that equals EUR 250 per week, or about EUR 13,000 per year saved. The software costs EUR 2,700, with no period stated on the page, so the net saving is about EUR 10,300 per year.

What hidden costs come with a press inquiry desk system?

No separate setup fee is documented on the product pages of the supplier, read 1 Sep 2026. The EUR 2,700 price includes the system and the journalist database for incoming questions.

Maintenance and updates happen automatically. The product pages, read 1 Sep 2026, state that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. No hosting party, region or certification is named on that page, read 1 Sep 2026.

What should you check before buying a press inquiry desk system?

Check three things. First, does the system cover Dutch and Flemish media? This Dutch platform states its database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, read 1 Sep 2026.

Second, does the system log every incoming question with a timestamp? Third, does the system allow you to assign questions to team members and track the response?

Multiple logins matter for a team of 200 staff. The Amsterdam supplier's that database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. That includes the journalist database and the sending system. For a team of five, you need at least three logins, which costs about EUR 3,975 per year at EUR 1,325 per login.

Comparison table: cost per user per year for press inquiry desk software

The table puts every vendor on one axis, cost per user per year. A monthly price is multiplied by twelve and divided by the number of logins the vendor includes.

5 columns. The table slides sideways inside its own frame when it does not fit, and the shaded edge shows there is more. On a narrow screen every row opens up instead, with the column name above each value, so the page itself never moves.
