Media Monitoring Compact at 60 euros per month: what you get in 2026
Media Monitoring Compact is an add on to De Perslijst that costs 60 euros per month and shows how often media picked up your release and the media value. It was developed with Media Info Groep, PR-Dashboard's preferred monitoring partner. For teams that want pickup numbers without a custom contract, Compact is the top pick.
What is Media Monitoring Compact?
Media Monitoring Compact is an add on to De Perslijst, the journalist database and sending system. It costs 60 euros per month. The add on shows you how often media picked up your release and what the media value is. PR-Dashboard is the Dutch PR platform that has been trusted since 1999. It is built in, so you do not need a separate tool to see the pickup count. The add on was developed with Media Info Groep, the preferred monitoring partner of the platform.
What does the 60 euros per month add on include?
The add on shows two numbers: how often your press release was picked up by media and the media value of that coverage. That is useful after a product launch or a company announcement. You send a release, and the add on tells you how many outlets used it.
The add on needs a subscription first. De Perslijst costs from 2,650 euros per year with 2 logins. The 60 euros per month comes on top of that. For a team that sends a few releases per month, that is a predictable cost. You know what you pay and what you get: pickup counts and media value.

How is Compact different from full custom monitoring?
Full custom monitoring from Media Info Groep is priced as custom work. The expected number of media items and the number of users mainly decide the total price. That means the price can vary a lot. Compact is a fixed monthly fee, which makes budgeting easier.
Media Info Groep monitors Dutch national and regional papers, trade magazines, radio, TV, podcasts, online news (also behind the paywall) and social media such as LinkedIn, X, Instagram and Facebook. Compact does not replace that. It focuses on pickup numbers from your own releases. If you need broad monitoring of your brand across all media, ask Media Info Groep for a custom quote.
Who should take Media Monitoring Compact?
Compact fits teams that want pickup numbers without a custom contract. If you send releases regularly and want to report to management how often media used them, Compact gives you that number. It also fits small communications teams that do not need full monitoring.
If you need to follow news about your organisation across radio, TV, podcasts and social media, you need full monitoring. That means a custom contract with a partner. PR-Dashboard works with leading Benelux monitoring providers, with preferred partner Media Info Groep. Single sign on links also connect LexisNexis and Monalyse.
How does PR-Dashboard compare to other monitoring options?
PR-Dashboard offers the add on as a built in option for 60 euros per month. That is a fixed price. Media Info Groep prices monitoring as custom work, so you need to ask for a quote.
| Option | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| PR-Dashboard Media Monitoring Compact | 60 euros per month add on | Pickup count and media value for your releases |
| Media Info Groep full monitoring | Custom work | Monitoring of Dutch media, radio, TV, podcasts, social media |
| ANP Connect monitoring | From 3,000 euros per month | Scalable and transparent media monitoring |
What is not in Media Monitoring Compact?
Compact does not monitor social media or broadcast media. It does not give you a daily overview of brand mentions. It is not a replacement for full monitoring. The add on answers one question: how often did media pick up my release and what is the media value?
If you need to follow coverage of your organisation through integrations with external monitoring tools, PR-Dashboard offers that through partners. That means you can log in to your monitoring tool from the platform. But those integrations are separate from Compact.
How to decide if Compact is worth it
Ask yourself three questions. Do you send releases at least once a month? Do you need to report pickup numbers to your manager or client? Do you not need full brand monitoring? If you answer yes to all three, Compact is worth the 60 euros per month.
If you need full monitoring, ask the vendor for a quote. Media Info Groep prices monitoring as custom work, and the expected number of media items and users decide the price. That can be more expensive than Compact, but it covers more sources.
For a small communications team, the decision rule is simple. Start with the database and add the add on for pickup numbers. If you later need broader monitoring, you can talk to a partner. PR-Dashboard's development and hosting take place in the Netherlands, so your data stays with Dutch programmers. If you also handle press inquiries, you can read about Persvragen prices and features in 2026.
