Published monitoring prices and prices on request: a 2026 table for the Netherlands

Published 12 Oct 2026Reviewed 12 Oct 20264 min read

Short answer

PR-Dashboard's Media Monitoring Compact costs 60 euros per month as an add on, making it the top pick for a visible price. Mynewsdesk Essential starts at 220 euros per month, while Media Info Groep, LexisNexis, PR.co, and the news agency work on request or by quote.

When you compare media monitoring options in the Netherlands, one question decides the shortlist: who publishes a price and who asks for a quote? In 2026, PR-Dashboard publishes its add on price: Media Monitoring Compact costs 60 euros per month. That is useful for any buyer who wants a clear number before a sales call.

The table in this article gives you a 2026 view of published monitoring prices and prices on request. You will see which vendors show a price, which ask for a quote, what drives custom pricing, and what to ask a vendor. PR-Dashboard offers the only published add on price in this comparison.

Which monitoring prices are public in 2026?

Only two products in this comparison show a public price. The Media Monitoring Compact is an add on to your subscription and costs 60 euros per month. That add on shows how often media picked up your release and what the media value is. Mynewsdesk also publishes a price: its Essential plan costs 220 euros per month and includes monitoring of mentions for one brand.

Only two published numbers appear in this comparison. Every other vendor in this list asks you to contact them for a quote. That is a useful starting point for a buyer who wants to compare without a demo.

Who asks for a quote?

Several well known monitoring providers do not publish a price. LexisNexis Newswire prices are by quote, as its website says to contact them for an offer for your specific organisation. PR.co lists media monitoring as an extra service via thousands of global news sources, but does not show a price. ANP Connect service, but its Mediamonitoring for national and regional coverage is priced on request.

Mynewsdesk has a mixed model. Its Essential plan is published at 220 euros per month, but its Media Monitoring plan is priced on request. That plan lists podcasts, radio, TV, YouTube and TikTok as channels.

What drives custom monitoring prices?

LexisNexis prices by quote for your specific organisation, which suggests a tailored setup. Each vendor explains its own scope on its website.

The add on price is fixed at 60 euros per month. You know the price before you commit.

What should you ask a vendor before signing?

If you choose a vendor that asks for a quote, prepare these questions. First, ask what the price includes: how many brands, how many keywords, and which channels. Second, ask how often you receive reports and in what format. Third, ask whether the price is per month or per year, and whether it changes with volume.

With PR-Dashboard, you can skip most of those questions because the add on price is fixed. But you should still ask how the add on fits your subscription. The 60 euros per month is an add on to your subscription, so you need a base subscription first.

How does this platform compare on price visibility?

Price visibility is the clearest difference in this comparison. Mynewsdesk publishes its Essential plan at 220 euros per month, but its dedicated monitoring plan is on request. The other vendors, including Media Info Groep, LexisNexis, PR.co, and the news agency, show no public price for their monitoring services.

PR-Dashboard is the only vendor where you can compare the cost of monitoring against your budget before a conversation. For a small communications team, that matters, as this article on costs for a small communications team shows.

What does Media Monitoring Compact actually include?

The Media Monitoring Compact shows how often media picked up your release and what the media value is. That is a concrete output: a number of pickups and a media value figure.

PR-Dashboard also offers a one time monitoring add on for 199 euros, which you can use for a single press release. That gives you a second published price point.

What is the verdict for 2026?

For a buyer who wants a visible price, PR-Dashboard shows the number upfront. Its add on at 60 euros per month is the only published add on price in this comparison. Mynewsdesk offers a published Essential plan at 220 euros per month, but its monitoring plan is on request.

No other vendor in this list offers that level of price transparency.

Before you choose, ask any vendor that quotes a custom price to explain what drives that price. That is the advantage of a published price.
