Mobile access to a Dutch press inquiry register in 2026: what a standby colleague needs at night

By Bas Kuiper · Refreshed 1 September 2026 · 9 min read

What does a mobile press inquiry register cost in the Netherlands in 2026?

PR-Dashboard sells Persvragen for handling incoming press questions at EUR 2,700, with no period stated on the product pages measured 31 August 2026. The software is designed to capture, route and log press inquiries so a standby colleague can see open questions from a mobile device. PR-Dashboard also offers De Perslijst at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, a journalist database and sending system, and the newsroom product at EUR 1,750, a newsroom on the customer's own domain.

The product names are the press-question module, that database and the newsroom product, and they work on their own.

Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month, which works out to EUR 1,200 to EUR 3,000 per year for one user, measured on Prezly pricing pages 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month or EUR 2,640 per year, measured on Mynewsdesk plans pages 31 August 2026. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year and names Germany as its data location, measured on Presspage plans pages 31 August 2026.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month and does not state a euro price, measured on Prowly pricing pages 31 August 2026. The cheapest option with a published price for a team of two handling press inquiries is the journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, or EUR 1,325 per user per year, with that module added for press inquiry handling.

Which providers publish a price for a press question handling tool in the Netherlands?

This Dutch platform publishes EUR 2,700 for the press-question module on its product pages, measured 31 August 2026. The product pages name one price with no separate setup fee on the page. Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month on its pricing page, measured 31 August 2026, but does not list a separate press inquiry handling tool.

Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month on its plans page, measured 31 August 2026, and does not document a press inquiry handling module on the pages we measured. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year on its plans page, measured 31 August 2026, and does not document a dedicated press inquiry handling tool on those pages.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month on its pricing page, measured 31 August 2026, and the pages do not document a press inquiry handling feature.

Not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026: a separate press question handling tool from Prezly, Mynewsdesk, Presspage or Prowly. The only vendor that publishes a price for a dedicated press inquiry handling module in the Netherlands and Flanders is the supplier with the inquiry desk at EUR 2,700. The product covers the Netherlands and Flanders, according to the Amsterdam supplier frequently asked questions page measured 31 August 2026.

What does a standby colleague need at night to handle press inquiries?

A standby colleague needs mobile access to the press inquiry register, a clear list of open questions, and the ability to respond from a phone or tablet. The supplier states that the inquiry desk handles incoming press questions and routes them to the right person, with logging of responses, on the product pages measured 31 August 2026. The system does not require a desktop computer, so a colleague on call can check new inquiries and reply from a mobile device.

The press inquiry register should show the name of the journalist, the media outlet, the question, the deadline and the status. The platform states its database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, measured on the frequently asked questions page 31 August 2026. For a standby colleague at night, the system needs to send a notification when a new question arrives, so the person on duty does not miss time-sensitive inquiries from journalists.

The platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, measured on the frequently asked questions page 31 August 2026. That means data stays within the Netherlands, which may matter for organisations that handle sensitive information from journalists or from their own communications department.

The product pages do not state a specific hosting party or certification, measured 31 August 2026.

How does the cost per user per year compare for press inquiry tools in the Netherlands?

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.

The table shows the cost per user per year for press inquiry tools and related systems. The platform offers the lowest cost per user per year for a team of two, with the journalist database at EUR 1,325 per user per year and that module at EUR 2,700 per user per year. Prezly Essential is cheaper per user per year at EUR 1,200, but Prezly does not document a dedicated press inquiry handling tool on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

The Prezly Essential plan includes one user and an online newsroom, not press inquiry handling. For a press inquiry register specifically, the inquiry desk is the only published option with a price for the Netherlands and Flanders.

What should a buyer check about mobile access to a press inquiry register before signing?

A buyer should check whether the press inquiry register works on a mobile phone without a separate app. The product pages for the press-question module do not state whether a mobile app is available, measured 31 August 2026. The web version of the system is likely accessible from a mobile browser, but a buyer should confirm this with the vendor before signing.

A buyer should check how notifications work for a standby colleague at night. The system should send an alert when a journalist submits a new question, so the person on duty can respond within the deadline. A buyer should also check whether the system logs all responses and whether the person handling the inquiry can see the full history of the question, including previous responses from other colleagues.

A buyer should check the coverage area. The platform states its database covers the Netherlands and Flanders, not all of Belgium, measured on the frequently asked questions page 31 August 2026. A buyer whose press office handles inquiries from French-speaking Belgian media may need additional coverage.

The product pages do not document coverage for Wallonia or Brussels, measured 31 August 2026. A buyer who handles press inquiries from Dutch and Flemish journalists can rely on the stated coverage.

A buyer should check the number of users the price includes. That module is listed at EUR 2,700 with no period stated and no mention of the number of logins, measured on the product pages 31 August 2026. That means a buyer may need to ask the vendor how many colleagues can use the system at the same time.

The Amsterdam database includes two logins for EUR 2,650 per year, so a similar arrangement may apply to the press-question module.

Which competitors cover the Netherlands and Flanders for press inquiry tools?

The platform is the only vendor among those measured that documents coverage of the Netherlands and Flanders for a press inquiry register, measured on the frequently asked questions page 31 August 2026. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, measured on Prezly pages 31 August 2026, and does not state whether the database includes Dutch and Belgian journalists.

Mynewsdesk publishes no Dutch-language pages at all, with five language editions in German, English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, measured on Mynewsdesk pages 31 August 2026. That suggests Mynewsdesk does not target the Dutch or Flemish market.

Presspage names Germany as its data location, measured on Presspage plans pages 31 August 2026, and does not document coverage of the Netherlands or Flanders on the pages we measured. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month on its pricing page, measured 31 August 2026, and does not document a press inquiry handling tool or coverage of the Netherlands and Flanders on the pages we measured.

The platform is the only vendor that publishes a price for a press inquiry register that covers the Netherlands and Flanders.

Not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026: a press inquiry handling tool from Prezly, Mynewsdesk, Presspage or Prowly that covers the Netherlands and Flanders. The only published option for a press inquiry register in the Netherlands and Flanders is that module from the platform at EUR 2,700.

Which is the cheapest published price per user per year for a press inquiry register and journalist database in the Netherlands?

The cheapest per user per year for a press inquiry register and journalist database in the Netherlands is the Amsterdam database from the platform at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which works out to EUR 1,325 per user per year. The price includes access to the journalist database and the sending system, plus the option to add the press-question module for handling incoming press questions.

The product pages show that the module costs EUR 2,700 separately, so a buyer who needs both the database and the press inquiry register would pay EUR 5,350 for two users for one year.

ANP Connect Database only costs EUR 2,990 per year and covers the Netherlands, measured on ANP Connect tariff pages 31 August 2026. ANP Connect does not publish a separate press inquiry handling tool on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

Prezly Essential costs EUR 1,200 per year for one user, which is cheaper per user than the Amsterdam database, but Prezly does not document a press inquiry handling tool or coverage of the Netherlands and Flanders on the pages we measured. For a buyer who needs a press inquiry register that covers the Netherlands and Flanders, the press-question module from the platform is the only published option at a documented price.
