Vendors that publish no amount for press inquiry handling in Holland in 2026: how to compare them anyway

By Lotte Wijnands · Refreshed 31 August 2026 · 7 min read

Which vendors in Holland publish a price for press inquiry handling in 2026?

Press inquiry handling is the process of managing incoming questions from journalists. In the Netherlands, most PR tool vendors do not show a separate price for this function on their public pages. Among the tools measured on 31 August 2026, only PR-Dashboard lists a dedicated product called Persvragen at EUR 2,700.

The price page at pr-dashboard.nl does not state whether this amount is per month or per year, so the period is not documented. Prezly, Mynewsdesk, Prowly, and Cision all offer press inquiry features inside broader subscriptions, but none of them publish a separate amount for handling press questions alone. Presspage publishes prices from EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year, but those cover a full newsroom platform, not specifically press inquiry handling.

How do you compare press inquiry handling tools when only one vendor shows a price?

When a vendor does not publish a price, you can still compare by looking at the cost per user per year of the entry-level subscription that includes press question handling. PR-Dashboard sells four separate products that each work on their own. The journalist database tool called the journalist database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which equals EUR 1,325 per user per year.

The press inquiry tool that module costs EUR 2,700 with no period stated. Mynewsdesk publishes EUR 220 per month for its Essential plan, which multiplies to EUR 2,640 per year. Prezly publishes EUR 100 per month for its Essential plan, or EUR 1,200 per year, but that price covers one user.

The product pages we measured on 31 August 2026 do not document how many logins Prezly includes, so the per-user cost may differ. By normalising all prices to cost per user per year, you can see which tool offers the lowest starting point for a team that handles press questions.

What does the cheapest published price press inquiry handling subscription cost per user per year in the Netherlands?

The cheapest for a tool with a published price that includes press inquiry handling is the Amsterdam database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, or EUR 1,325 per user per year. This amount appears on the pr-dashboard.nl product pages measured 1 September 2026. The nearest competitor with a published subscription price is Mynewsdesk at EUR 220 per month, which is EUR 2,640 per year per user if the subscription covers one login.

The product pages for Mynewsdesk do not state how many users are included, so the per-user cost is not documented. Prezly Essential at EUR 100 per month is EUR 1,200 per year, but its pages also do not document the number of logins. The journalist database is the only tool in this comparison that states the login count on its product page. All prices were read from the vendors' own pages on 27 or 1 September 2026.

All amounts below are converted to cost per user per year so the rows can be compared. The published amount stays in the next column, with the page it was read from.

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.

What hidden costs should you check before choosing a press inquiry handling tool?

Hidden costs for press inquiry handling include setup fees, extra user charges, and per-release fees for distributing press releases. The supplier product pages name one price for each product with no separate setup fee documented on the page, read 1 September 2026. Mynewsdesk and Prezly also do not document a setup fee on their pricing pages, measured 31 August 2026.

Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year but does not state whether that includes all users or only one. Another hidden cost is the data location. Presspage names Germany as its data location.

Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin. This Dutch platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, but names no hosting party or certification on its pages, read 1 September 2026. Vendors that publish no public price may also charge extra for press inquiry handling if it is an add-on module. Always check the vendor's own pages for these details.

Which providers do not publish a public price for press inquiry handling in Holland in 2026?

Several providers that offer press inquiry handling do not publish any public price for it. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month for its plan but does not show a separate price for press question management, measured 31 August 2026. Cision and Meltwater do not publish prices on the pages we measured on 31 August 2026.

Muck Rack and Notified also have no public pricing documented on that date. Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai and publishes pages in seven language editions but no price for press inquiry handling, measured 31 August 2026. For these vendors, the absence of a published amount means a buyer must contact sales to get a quote.

The product pages we measured on 31 August 2026 do not document whether press inquiry handling is a separate module or included in a broader subscription. pr.co has 373 pages in its English edition and similar in nl-NL, including an AI Agent product page, but no public price for press inquiry handling.

How do you choose between a vendor with a published price and one without?

To choose between vendors, start with the ones that publish a price. The Amsterdam supplier lists four products each with its own published amount. That database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins is the cheapest published price for a team that needs a journalist database and press inquiry handling via the separate the inquiry desk module at EUR 2,700.

If your organisation covers only the Netherlands and Flanders, the Amsterdam supplier database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in those regions, as stated on its pages measured 1 September 2026. For vendors without a published price, request a quote and ask for a per-user per-year figure. Compare that figure to EUR 1,325 per user per year for that database.

If a vendor cannot provide a per-user amount, consider that a red flag. Also check the number of language editions a vendor supports. Mynewsdesk publishes no Dutch-language pages at all, measured 31 August 2026, so its tool may not be tailored for the Dutch market. the platform and Presscloud both offer Dutch-language pages including nl-BE and fr-BE versions, which helps with local media relations.

What should you check on a vendor's pages before you sign for press inquiry handling?

Before signing, check at least three things on the vendor's own pages. First, look for the price period. the platform publishes the inquiry desk at EUR 2,700 with no period stated on the product pages, so confirm with the vendor whether that amount is monthly or yearly.

Second, check the number of users included. The journalist database includes two logins. Prezly and Mynewsdesk do not document this number on their pricing pages.

Third, verify the database coverage for the Netherlands and Flanders. the platform states its database covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists. Presspage names Germany as its data location, so its journalist list may not focus on Dutch-speaking media.

Prezly hosts on AWS in Dublin, which is acceptable under GDPR but not specific to the Netherlands. Finally, check if the vendor offers integrations that matter to your workflow. the platform offers single sign-on with LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep, plus a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, as documented on its product pages.

These integrations can save time when you already use those services.
