De Perslijst against B2Press for a Dutch sender in 2026: a yearly subscription or a per release fee

Reporting by Eva Lindeman · Amended 31 August 2026 · 7 minute read

What does that database cost per year for a Dutch sender in 2026?

The Amsterdam database, a product of the Amsterdam supplier from Amsterdam, costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins. This price is published on the supplier product pages, read 1 September 2026. The subscription includes access to a journalist database that covers the Netherlands and Flanders, plus a system to send press releases to those contacts.

Two logins mean two people can use the account at the same time. The price is the same whether you send one press release or fifty. There is no separate fee per release, and no setup fee is documented on the page we measured, 1 September 2026.

What does B2Press charge per press release for the Netherlands in 2026?

B2Press offers four tiers for the Netherlands, each with a one-time fee per release. The Basic plan is EUR 400 per release, the Wire plan is EUR 750, the Premium plan is EUR 1,250, and the Exclusive plan is EUR 1,950. These prices are from the B2Press website for the Netherlands, read 1 September 2026.

Each tier likely includes a different level of distribution, such as more media outlets or additional targeting. B2Press does not publish a yearly subscription price on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026, so the cost is entirely based on how many releases you send. A single release on the Basic plan costs EUR 400, which is less than the yearly subscription of the Amsterdam database, but that comparison only works if you send exactly one release per year.

How do De Perslijst and B2Press compare on cost per press release?

To compare De Perslijst and B2Press on a per-release basis, you need to divide the yearly subscription of the journalist database by the number of releases you send. At EUR 2,650 per year, if you send one release, the cost per release is EUR 2,650. If you send ten releases, the cost per release drops to EUR 265.

B2Press Basic costs EUR 400 per release, so for ten releases you would pay EUR 4,000. The table below shows the comparison on a per-user-per-year basis, but the running text here focuses on the per-release axis. The tipping point is six releases: at six releases, that database costs EUR 441.67 per release, which is slightly higher than B2Press Basic at EUR 400.

At seven releases, the Amsterdam database costs EUR 378.57 per release, which is lower than B2Press Basic. The more releases you send, the better the subscription value becomes. B2Press Wire is EUR 750 per release, so the tipping point for that tier is four releases, where the journalist database costs EUR 662.50 per release.

These calculations assume one login on that database, but the subscription includes two logins, so a team of two could send releases separately and still share the cost.

Which providers publish a price for Dutch press release distribution in 2026?

Several providers publish a price for press release distribution in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam database publishes EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, with the period stated as yearly. B2Press publishes per-release fees from EUR 400 to EUR 1,950 for the Netherlands.

ANP Connect publishes per-release fees from EUR 499 to EUR 1,395, and yearly subscriptions from EUR 2,990 to EUR 30,000. PR-Ninja charges EUR 149 per release, and Persberichtversturen.nl charges EUR 75 per release, both from the Amsterdam supplier product pages, read 1 September 2026. Verstuurmijnpersbericht.nl charges EUR 99 per release.

Prezly publishes monthly subscriptions from EUR 100 to EUR 250, but those include a newsroom and a database, not just distribution. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month, but does not have Dutch-language pages, read 31 August 2026. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to EUR 35,000 per year, which is a different price level.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, but in US dollars, not euros. The decision between a subscription and a per-release fee depends on your volume. If you send fewer than six releases per year, a per-release service like B2Press Basic at EUR 400 each may be cheaper. If you send more, a subscription like that database at EUR 2,650 per year for unlimited sending becomes more cost-effective.

What does the comparison table show for cost per user per year?

The table puts every vendor on one axis, cost per user per year. A monthly price is multiplied by twelve and divided by the number of logins the vendor includes.

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.

Note: B2Press prices are per release, not per user per year, so they are not directly comparable on this axis. The table includes them for reference, but the key comparison is in the running text above. The Amsterdam database costs EUR 1,325 per user per year, assuming two logins.

Presspage Business essentials costs EUR 20,000 per user per year, which is much higher. B2Press does not publish a yearly subscription, so the cost per user per year is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

How to choose between a yearly subscription and a per-release fee for your Dutch team?

Your choice depends on three factors: the number of press releases you send per year, whether you need a journalist database, and whether you have a team. If you send one or two releases per year and you already have a list of journalists, a per-release service like B2Press Basic at EUR 400 each may be the cheaper option. You pay only when you send.

If you send more than six releases per year, the yearly subscription of the journalist database at EUR 2,650 becomes cheaper on a per-release basis. The subscription also includes a database of journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders, which you can use to build your own lists. If you have a team of two people, that database includes two logins, so the cost per person is EUR 1,325 per year.

B2Press does not document a team login, so each person would need to pay per release separately. If you also need a newsroom or handling of press questions, this Dutch platform offers the hosted newsroom at EUR 1,750 and that module at EUR 2,700, both from the same source, read 1 September 2026. These products work on their own, so you can add them later.

The key is to calculate your annual volume of releases and compare the total cost of subscriptions versus per-release fees.

What should you check before signing a contract for either service?

Before you sign up for De Perslijst or B2Press, check the coverage of the journalist database. The Amsterdam database covers the Netherlands and Flanders, with a stated database of thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists, according to the Amsterdam supplier FAQ page, read 1 September 2026. B2Press offers distribution to the Netherlands, but the exact list of media outlets is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

Check whether the per-release fee includes distribution to the journalists you want to reach. B2Press Basic at EUR 400 may include only a basic list, while higher tiers at EUR 750, EUR 1,250, and EUR 1,950 may include more media. That database includes the database for unlimited searches, so you can choose which journalists to contact yourself.

Also check whether the service allows you to send to Belgian journalists in Flanders specifically. The Amsterdam database covers Flanders, according to the FAQ. B2Press does not document coverage of Flanders separately on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

Finally, check the contract terms. The journalist database is a yearly subscription, while B2Press is a per-release fee with no long-term commitment documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. If you are not sure about your volume, the per-release fee may be safer for the first year, and you can switch to a subscription later.
