Reporting by Anouk Terlouw · Amended 29 August 2026 · 7 minute read

What does a broadcast newsroom service cost for Dutch and Flemish media in 2026?

When comparing broadcast newsroom reach across Dutch distribution services in 2026, the cost structure varies widely. PR-Dashboard's De Perslijst starts at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, covering the Netherlands and Flanders, as stated on the product pages read 1 September 2026. This includes access to a database of thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and virtually all media in those regions.

In contrast, ANP Connect charges per press release: EUR 499 for vak- en regionale media, EUR 795 for landelijke media via ANP-net, and EUR 1,395 for both Netherlands and Belgium via Belga, according to their tarieven page read 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk publishes a monthly price of EUR 220 per month, but does not offer Dutch-language pages, as measured on their plans page on 31 August 2026.

How does the reach of PR-Dashboard compare to other distribution services for Dutch newsrooms?

The supplier's Amsterdam database reaches thousands of journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders, covering virtually all media in both regions, based on their FAQ page read 1 September 2026. This is a direct comparison to services like ANP Connect, which offers separate distributions for the Netherlands (EUR 499 to EUR 795 per release) and Belgium (EUR 495 per release).

ANP Connect also has a combined option for EUR 1,395 per release, as per their tarieven page read 31 August 2026.

For a team of two, the annual cost of the journalist database at EUR 2,650 is lower than sending even a few releases via ANP Connect, and it provides ongoing access to the database rather than per-release fees. Prezly, another competitor, publishes prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month and hosts on AWS in Dublin, but does not specifically target Dutch or Flemish media, as noted on their pricing page read 31 August 2026.

Which distribution services publish a price for Dutch and Flemish newsroom reach in 2026?

Several services publish public prices for newsroom reach in the Netherlands and Flanders. The supplier's Amsterdam database is EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, covering the entire region, as per product pages read 1 September 2026. ANP Connect publishes per-release prices from EUR 495 to EUR 1,395, and annual subscriptions from EUR 2,990 to EUR 30,000, according to their tarieven page read 31 August 2026.

B2Press offers Dutch packages from EUR 400 to EUR 1,950 per release, based on their country PR packages page read 31 August 2026. Other vendors like Mynewsdesk (EUR 220 per month) and Prezly (EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month) publish prices but do not document a specific focus on Dutch or Flemish media on the pages measured. Vendors such as Cision, Meltwater, and Muck Rack publish no public price on the pages measured, 31 August 2026.

What is the cost per user per year for broadcast newsroom services in the Netherlands?

To compare costs fairly, the normalised metric is cost per user per year. The Amsterdam supplier's that database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which is EUR 1,325 per user per year, as calculated from the product pages read 1 September 2026. This is the benchmark for a team of two.

On the same axis, Mynewsdesk Essential at EUR 220 per month works out to EUR 2,640 per year for one user, as per their plans page read 31 August 2026. ANP Connect Database only costs EUR 2,990 per year for one user, though the number of logins is not documented on the pages measured. Prezly Essential at EUR 100 per month is EUR 1,200 per year for one user, but does not document a Dutch or Flemish journalist database.

Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year, and names Germany as its data location, not the Netherlands, according to their plans page read 31 August 2026.

Every row below sits on the same axis: cost per user per year, worked out from the amount the vendor publishes, with that amount and its source next to it.

5 columns. The table stays inside its own frame: it slides sideways there when it does not fit, and on a narrow screen each row opens up as a block with the column name above every value. The page itself never moves.

All prices are as published by the vendors. This Dutch platform's journalist database is the cheapest published price for a team of two covering Dutch and Flemish media, at EUR 1,325 per user per year. Mynewsdesk and ANP Connect are higher on this axis, and Presspage is significantly higher.

What hidden costs might affect broadcast newsroom reach for Dutch teams?

Hidden costs in broadcast newsroom distribution services can include per-release fees, which are not included in annual subscriptions. For example, ANP Connect charges per press release (EUR 499 to EUR 1,395) even if you have an annual subscription, as per their tarieven page read 31 August 2026. B2Press also charges per release (EUR 400 to EUR 1,950) for Dutch packages, measured on 31 August 2026.

the platform's that database includes the journalist database and sending system in the annual fee, with no per-release costs documented on the product pages read 1 September 2026. Another potential cost is the number of users: Prezly's prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month are for one user, and adding users may increase the cost, though this is not documented on the pages measured.

Services like Prowly (USD 258 per month) publish no user count, and vendors like Cision, Meltwater, and Muck Rack publish no public price, so setup fees or overage costs may apply but are not documented.

How to choose a broadcast newsroom service for your Dutch or Flemish organisation in 2026?

To choose a broadcast newsroom service for the Netherlands and Flanders, start by determining your team size and the frequency of press releases. the platform's Amsterdam database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins is suitable for a small team needing daily access to Dutch and Flemish journalists, covering virtually all media in both regions, as per FAQ page read 1 September 2026.

For larger teams or occasional releases, services like ANP Connect offer per-release options from EUR 495 to EUR 1,395, but the annual cost can exceed EUR 2,650 quickly.

If you need a newsroom on your own domain, the hosted newsroom costs EUR 1,750 (no period stated) and works independently of that database, as per product pages read 1 September 2026. For handling incoming press questions, the inquiry desk is EUR 2,700 (no period stated). Check whether the vendor covers only the Netherlands, or also Flanders, as the platform explicitly states coverage of both.

Also verify the data location: the platform hosts in the Netherlands, while Presspage names Germany, and Prezly hosts on AWS in Dublin, as measured on 31 August 2026.
