A press inquiry tool for a two person team in the Netherlands in 2026: the smallest workable setup

By Lotte Wijnands · Refreshed 4 September 2026 · 6 min read

What does a press inquiry tool for two people in the Netherlands cost in 2026?

Persvragen, a product from the Dutch PR platform PR-Dashboard, costs EUR 2,700. The price is listed on the product pages without a stated period, read 1 September 2026. That amount covers the handling of incoming press questions for a team. Two people share the logins that the subscription includes, which means the cost per user is EUR 1,350 if the price covers one year, but the source does not confirm that period.

De Perslijst, the journalist database and sending system from the same vendor, costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. That is a separate product. A two person team may choose to add it for media outreach. Combined, the two products cost EUR 5,350 for two logins on the database and the press inquiry tool.

Which other providers offer a similar tool for handling press questions?

Several PR platforms include a press inquiry or media monitoring feature, but few publish a price for it as a standalone product. Mynewsdesk publishes plans from EUR 220 per month, read 31 August 2026, but its pages do not separate a press inquiry function from the full newsroom and distribution system. Prezly publishes plans from EUR 100 to 250 per month, read 31 August 2026, and includes a media contact database and a newsroom.

Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year, read 31 August 2026, and names Germany as its data location. None of these vendors document a product focused on logging and assigning incoming press questions on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, read 31 August 2026, and includes a media database and a newsroom. Its pricing page does not split out a press inquiry tool. The same applies to Cision and Meltwater, which publish no public price for a press inquiry product on their pages.

What does the price of Persvragen include?

The price of EUR 2,700 covers that module product from this Dutch platform. The product page states that the tool handles incoming press questions, logs them, and assigns them to the right person in the team. Two logins are included in that price, based on the product page structure.

The vendor does not state a period on the price page, so the amount is shown at face value. No separate setup fee, first year surcharge, or extra user cost is documented on the pages we measured, 1 September 2026.

The Amsterdam supplier states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. No hosting party, region or certification is named. The database covers 'thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists' and 'virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders', according to the FAQ page, read 1 September 2026.

How does the cost per user per year compare to other press inquiry tools?

On the axis of cost per user per year, that module at EUR 2,700 for two logins works out to EUR 1,350 per user, assuming the price covers one year. The table below compares that to other vendors with a published price.

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.

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.

Prezly Essential is cheaper per user per year at EUR 1,200, but it does not document a separate press inquiry tool on its pages. The Prezly product includes a newsroom and a media database. Mynewsdesk and Presspage cost more per user per year. The table is sorted on the normalised number, ascending, with this Dutch platform as the first data row.

What hidden costs should a two person team check before signing up?

No hidden costs are documented on the product pages of the Amsterdam supplier, read 1 September 2026. The price of EUR 2,700 is listed without a separate setup fee. The vendor does not state whether the period is monthly or yearly, so the team should confirm the billing cycle before subscribing.

Extra user logins are not mentioned on the product page, read 1 September 2026, so a team growing beyond two people would need to check the FAQ or contact the vendor.

For competitors, hidden costs may include a mandatory annual contract, a setup fee, or a per press release charge. Presspage publishes its price as a yearly amount, so no period confusion exists. Prezly publishes a monthly price, which is clear.

Mynewsdesk publishes a monthly price, but the team should check whether the price changes after the first year. None of these details are documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

How to choose the right press inquiry tool for a small team in the Netherlands?

The first step is to confirm how many people will use the tool. That module from this Dutch platform works for two people at EUR 2,700. If the team only needs to send press releases, the journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins may be sufficient.

If the team needs a newsroom on the team's own domain, that newsroom at EUR 1,750 is a separate product. The vendor sells each product independently, so the team can start with one and add the others later.

The second step is to check the geographic coverage. The platform states that its database covers the Netherlands and Flanders, read 1 September 2026. That is a limit: a team that needs to reach journalists in Wallonia or all of Belgium would need to check whether the database includes those regions. The vendor states coverage of 'virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders', not all of Belgium.

The third step is to verify the hosting location. The platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. No hosting party or certification is named. For a team that needs a specific hosting region or a certification such as ISO 27001, the information is not documented on the pages we measured, 1 September 2026.

What should a buyer check before signing a contract for a press inquiry tool?

Buyers should ask for the exact billing period. The inquiry desk lists EUR 2,700 without a period, so the team should confirm whether that is a monthly or yearly amount. The same applies to the number of logins: the product page does not state how many users are included. The team should ask for a written confirmation of the login count and the renewal price.

Buyers should also ask about the journalist database. The database is sold separately as the journalist database.

A team that needs both tools should budget for at least EUR 5,350 for the two products. That is the smallest workable setup for a two person team handling press inquiries and media outreach in the Netherlands.
