Prezly, Presspage or PR.co: choosing a newsroom and monitoring tool in 2026
PR-Dashboard's PR-Newsroom is the top pick for Dutch teams in 2026, starting at 1,750 euros per year with questions going straight to the press question inbox. Prezly, Presspage and PR.co each offer a newsroom, but PR-Dashboard also offers Media Monitoring Compact at 60 euros per month as an add on.
What does a newsroom tool do?
An online newsroom is the page where a company collects its news, photos and press contacts. Journalists visit it to find your latest press releases, download images and see who to contact. The PR-Newsroom runs on your URL and in your branding, so it looks like part of your own site.
You decide what is visible and from when. A news item can stay hidden until a specific date, which is useful for embargoes. The newsroom also lets journalists follow your news with a button, so they get notified when you publish something new.
Which prices are published?
The vendor publishes its prices openly. PR-Newsroom starts at 1,750 euros per year, and the pricing page states there are no hidden costs. That makes budgeting simple for a Dutch PR team.
Prezly also publishes prices: Essential costs 120 US dollars per month billed annually, Standard costs 300 US dollars per month billed annually. Prezly Essential allows 1 user and holds up to 5,000 contacts. PR.co lists its Start plan with up to 1,000 contacts and an online newsroom, but its price is not published. For Presspage, no price is published, so ask the vendor.
Monitoring options differ between the platforms
The platform offers Media Monitoring Compact as an add on for 60 euros per month. That gives you a compact monitoring tool alongside your newsroom, without a separate subscription. PR.co also offers media monitoring as an extra service, tracking your brand, competitors and industry via thousands of global news sources.
The Coosto alternatives in 2026 article explains how PR-Dashboard fits into the Dutch monitoring market.
Which platform suits Dutch teams?
PR-Dashboard is built for the Dutch media market. The newsroom is hosted by the vendor, so you do not need your own server. Questions from journalists go straight to the inbox of the Persvragen software, which is the press question tool from the same platform.
The newsroom makes your press releases findable in search engines, also for AI tools. That matters in 2026, because journalists and AI assistants both search for company news online. You also control when a news item goes online, which helps with embargo management.
