A trial of press inquiry software for a Dutch team in 2026: what to test in two weeks

By Bas Kuiper · Refreshed 31 August 2026 · 5 min read

What does press inquiry software for a Dutch team cost in 2026?

Persvragen from PR-Dashboard handles incoming press questions. The product page lists EUR 2,700 no period stated, read 1 September 2026. The same vendor sells De Perslijst for EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, but that is a journalist database and sending tool, not a press inquiry system.

Prezly publishes EUR 100 to 250 per month for its media database and newsroom, read 31 August 2026. The Prezly pages do not document a press question module on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026. Prowly sells for USD 258 per month and does not state a euro price.

Its product pages also do not mention a press inquiry feature. A team looking for a dedicated press question tool finds very few vendors that publish a price for that specific product.

What should a Dutch team test in a two-week trial of press inquiry software?

A team in the Netherlands and Flanders gets press calls from Dutch and Belgian journalists. The software must log each call, show who is calling and let the team assign the question to a colleague. Persvragen does exactly that, according to the product pages read 1 September 2026.

The team should test three things. First, how fast a new call gets entered. Second, whether the system shows the journalist's media outlet and past contact.

Third, whether the reply gets sent from the same screen. A team with two people should test two simultaneous calls. The software should not lose a question.

Which providers publish a price for press inquiry software and which do not?

Among the measured vendors, only the supplier publishes a standalone price for handling press questions. The inquiry desk costs EUR 2,700 no period stated, product pages read 1 September 2026. Prezly, Prowly, Mynewsdesk, Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack, Notified, Presspage, Presscloud and pr.co publish no public price for a press inquiry module on the pages measured 27 and 1 September 2026.

Mynewsdesk charges from EUR 220 per month for its media database and newsroom. Mynewsdesk publishes no Dutch-language pages at all. Its pages do not document a press question tool.

Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year for its full newsroom platform. A press inquiry module is not documented on those pages either.

How does the press-question module compare to other options for a Dutch team?

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.

The table shows only the supplier publishes a dedicated press inquiry product. Presspage sells a much larger platform at EUR 35,000 per year. Prowly charges in US dollars and does not state a euro price. A Dutch team that only needs press question software pays less with the inquiry desk.

What hidden costs should a team check before signing a press inquiry contract?

The product page of the press-question module names one price with no separate setup fee on the page, read 1 September 2026. The page does not state a contract period. A team should ask about the renewal terms in writing.

Other vendors may sell a press inquiry module as an add-on. Prezly does not document that on its pricing pages on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026. Mynewsdesk also does not mention a press question tool.

A team should request a written quote that lists every module. If a vendor sells only a full newsroom, the team pays for features it does not need.

How does a team choose the right press inquiry software for its own organisation?

A Dutch team with two or three people handling press calls should pick a tool that matches the size of the team. That module comes from a vendor that also sells the Amsterdam database for EUR 2,650 per year for two logins and the hosted newsroom for EUR 1,750 no period stated. A team that also sends press releases can combine products from the same vendor.

A larger team with many press questions per day may need a tool that connects to a newsroom. The supplier sells the newsroom product separately. A team can also test the single sign-on integrations.

The Amsterdam supplier integrates with LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep, product pages read 1 September 2026. A team that uses those tools for monitoring can save time.

What is the cheapest per user per year for press inquiry software with a published price?

The cheapest published price is that module at EUR 2,700 no period stated, product pages read 1 September 2026. That is EUR 2,700 per user per year treating the no period statement as an annual cost. No other vendor publishes a press inquiry module at a lower amount on the pages measured in August 2026.

A team of two can use the inquiry desk with two logins for the same price. The product pages do not state how many logins the EUR 2,700 covers. The team should confirm the login count in writing.

A team that also needs a journalist database adds the journalist database for EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. The total then comes to EUR 5,350 for two users with both tools.

Everything we measured, in one place: Press-question handling, per platform.
