nl. com. nl/tarieven, read 31 Aug 2026. PR-Dashboard lists no per-release price for De Perslijst; that product costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins and unlimited sending, meaning the per-item cost drops fast with volume.
Which providers charge a flat yearly subscription for unlimited press releases?
nl/producten, read 1 Sep 2026. ANP Connect Database only costs EUR 2,990 per year but gives access to a journalist database without sending functionality. ANP Connect Complete costs EUR 4,990 per year and adds sending to the database access. For a team sending more than six press releases per year, a subscription model becomes cheaper per release than the single-item price from B2Press or ANP Connect.

com/country-pr-packages/netherlands, read 31 Aug 2026. B2Press Wire costs EUR 750, Premium costs EUR 1,250, and Exclusive costs EUR 1,950, each adding wider distribution or additional services like translation. nl/tarieven, read 31 Aug 2026. None of these include a journalist database for direct outreach; the distribution goes through the provider's own network.
How does PR-Dashboard compare with ANP Connect and B2Press for frequent senders?
The Amsterdam supplier that database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which works out to EUR 1,325 per user per year, the lowest yearly price among the three for a team of two. ANP Connect Database only costs EUR 2,990 per year for one user, and B2Press has no yearly subscription for unlimited sends. For six releases per year, B2Press Basic at EUR 400 each totals EUR 2,400, which is slightly less than the Amsterdam database while a journalist database and Flemish coverage are not documented in those packages on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026.
The Amsterdam supplier lists its database as covering virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, while B2Press focuses on Dutch journalists per its country packages.
Which provider gives the best value for a Dutch press release in 2026?
For a single press release, B2Press Basic at EUR 400 is cheaper than ANP Connect at EUR 499. For a team sending more than six releases per year, the supplier the Amsterdam database at EUR 2,650 per year beats both on total cost. ANP Connect offers the widest range of per-release options, including Belgian distribution via Belga at EUR 495, but at EUR 1,395 for both Netherlands and Belgium it becomes more expensive than two separate B2Press Basic sends. the product pages, read 1 Sep 2026, state that the platform combines the database, newsroom, and press inquiry handling, which ANP Connect and B2Press do not offer in one system.
What hidden costs exist in press release pricing?
B2Press per-release prices include distribution but not translation, journalist database access, or press inquiry handling. ANP Connect per-release prices do not include a searchable journalist database; that costs EUR 2,990 per year extra. The journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year includes the database, unlimited sending, and two logins, but the product pages do not state a separate translation service.
For a Dutch national send, the cheapest total comes from combining a low per-release price with a subscription if the volume is high enough. Always check whether the price covers the Netherlands and Flanders together, because some providers charge extra for the Belgian market.
