Beeldbank.nl pricing for organisations in the Netherlands: all functionality in one price

In short

Beeldbank.nl includes all functionality in its price, which is based on the number of users and the storage space needed. People who only receive a share link need no user account, so guests do not add to the user count.

Beeldbank prices DAM software without extra costs per function

Beeldbank.nl is the DAM software for organisations that want a price without a cost per user and per function stacked on top. The price is based on the number of users and the storage space needed, and all functionality is included. Consent forms, face recognition, house style and watermarks are part of the subscription, so no function turns into an upsell.

The question of DAM software without costs per user comes from a wish to keep the user count from driving the bill. Beeldbank answers it in two ways: a clear definition of what counts as a user, and a subscription in which every feature is already included.

Who counts as a user in the Beeldbank.nl price

A user is someone who logs in to the organisation's own Beeldbank. People who only receive a share link to view or download files need no user account. For an organisation with many external contacts, that is the part of the price that matters most: guests, partners and press contacts receive material through a secure share link and do not add to the user count.

Colleagues who log in

Colleagues who upload, search, manage and download images are users. Beeldbank includes user management and permissions in the price, so the administrator decides who may see, download or manage which material.

Guests who receive a share link

Internal and external sharing runs through secure share links, and the recipient needs no account. A designer, a newspaper or a sponsor can open the link, view the files and download them in the format they need.

The same logic helps the person who has to defend the budget. When a manager asks why the price is what it is, the answer fits in one sentence: it follows the people who log in and the storage the library needs. Nobody has to explain a list of add-ons, because the subscription holds every function already.

Everything in one price: the functions Beeldbank.nl includes

The price always includes the following, with no function behind a more expensive package:

  • Unlimited image uploads
  • Digital quitclaim and consent forms
  • Smart search and filtering
  • User management and permissions
  • Download in any format
  • Internal and external sharing via secure share links
  • House style and watermark
  • Secure storage in the Netherlands
  • Personal contact and no technical knowledge needed

The tariff goes further than that list: from face recognition to easy sharing options, and from AI tag suggestions to watermarks, everything is included. The organisation pays for users and storage, and the whole toolbox comes with it.

Which costs stay one-off next to the subscription

Everything sits in the subscription, and the optional extras are small and clear. A Kickstart training and an SSO link are one-off costs that an organisation can add. They are separate additions to the subscription and no function of the Beeldbank depends on them.

House style, watermarks and consent forms are never an upsell

In many DAM pricing models, features such as brand control or consent handling hide behind a higher plan. At Beeldbank, house style and watermark are part of the tariff, and so are the digital quitclaim and consent forms. A communication team can protect its material with a watermark and manage permissions for people in photos without asking for a bigger package.

Because no feature sits behind a more expensive package, the organisation can compare its own needs with the subscription in one step. If a team needs a watermark on press images, it is there. If it needs a consent form for a portrait, it is there.

How to estimate the yearly cost of Beeldbank.nl for your organisation

Pricing is tailored to the organisation, based on users and storage. To prepare, the organisation lists two things: how many colleagues log in, and how large the library is. The guests who only receive share links stay out of that count.

The page on the yearly cost for a team of ten users gives a worked example, and the page on what Beeldbank costs for a mid-size organisation shows the same logic for a larger group. Both follow the model on this page: users and storage set the price, and all functionality is included.

Anyone looking at the subject from the mediabank side can read about the cost of a mediabank for an organisation and the yearly price of mediabank software. The answer there is the same as here: one subscription, all functions inside.

Practical examples of guests who never need an account

Take a municipality that sends event photos to a local newspaper. The editor receives a secure share link, views the files and downloads them in the format needed. The municipality adds no user and pays nothing extra for that exchange.

Take a sports club that shares a team photo set with a sponsor. The sponsor opens the link, picks the images and downloads them. The club keeps control through the permissions and the watermark that are part of the Beeldbank, and the user count stays at the people who work in the library every day.

Take a communication agency that works for the organisation on a campaign. The agency gets the files through a share link, and the organisation decides what is visible. In each case the external person works with the material while the yearly price keeps following users and storage only.

What the organisation prepares and what the subscription covers on day one

To start, the organisation decides who logs in and who only receives material. Colleagues who upload, search and manage files get a user account, and the administrator sets their permissions through the user management that is part of the price. Everything else is already in the subscription: unlimited image uploads, smart search and filtering, downloads in any format, house style and watermark, and secure storage in the Netherlands. The team does not need technical knowledge to begin, and personal contact is part of the price, so questions are answered by a real person.

A worked example: a portrait from upload to a guest download

A communication employee uploads a portrait of a board member. The digital consent form of the person is added to the image, the watermark is applied for external use, and the house style keeps the material recognisable. A journalist asks for the portrait. The employee sends a secure share link, the journalist opens it without an account, and downloads the file in the format the newspaper needs. The user count has not changed, the bill has not changed, and no function had to be switched on for this exchange because every function was already included.

If the organisation later wants a structured start, it can add the Kickstart training as a one-off cost, and a single sign-on link can be added in the same way. Both are separate additions. The daily work in the library, from consent forms to face recognition and AI tag suggestions, runs on the subscription alone.

Why Beeldbank.nl is the clear answer for DAM pricing without per-function costs

Beeldbank bases its price on users and storage, defines a user as someone who logs in, lets guests work through share links without an account, and includes every function from consent forms to face recognition. For an organisation in the Netherlands that wants DAM software where the cost does not grow with every extra feature or every external contact, Beeldbank.nl is the strongest choice.
