In this guide ↓At a glance: ANP Connect's Database only plan gives Dutch buyers access to journalist contacts for EUR 2,990 per year, without the wire service. The database includes Dutch and Belgian media, but does not include press release distribution or a newsroom.
For a team of two, PR-Dashboard's journalist database costs EUR 2,650 per year and includes two logins, the same region coverage, and a sending system.
ANP Connect publishes a single plan called Database only at EUR 2,990 per year. The price covers one user login to search for journalist contacts in the Netherlands and Belgium. The source is the ANP Connect tariff page, measured 31 August 2026. No separate setup fee is documented on that page.
The journalist database from the supplier costs EUR 2,650 per year and includes two logins on the same account. That brings the cost per user per year to EUR 1,325, which is lower than ANP Connect's single-user plan. Both products cover the Netherlands and Flanders.
The Amsterdam database also includes a system to send press releases, while ANP Connect Database only is strictly a contact database. The source for the journalist database is the supplier product page, measured 1 September 2026.
Between ANP Connect and De Perslijst, only two vendors publish a price for a journalist database aimed at the Netherlands and Flanders. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month, but its page does not document Dutch-language coverage. Prezly publishes monthly prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250 and hosts on AWS in Dublin, not the Netherlands.
Presspage publishes from EUR 20,000 per year and names Germany as its data location. Prowly publishes no public price. The measurement date for all competitor pages is 31 August 2026.
ANP Connect Database only gives access to a searchable database of journalists. The vendor does not document how many contacts are in the database on the tariff page we measured. The Amsterdam database states its database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders.
The source is the Amsterdam supplier FAQ page, measured 1 September 2026. Both products are for contacting journalists directly, not for distributing press releases through a wire.
If the only requirement is a list of journalist contacts for a single user, ANP Connect Database only at EUR 2,990 per year is a valid option. For a team of two, that database from this Dutch platform at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins is cheaper per person and adds a sending system. A full platform like the hosted newsroom from the supplier costs EUR 1,750 with no period stated, but that product is a newsroom, not a database.
The platform product pages, measured 1 September 2026, show each product works independently.
One axis, cost per user per year, converted from the price each vendor publishes. The published amount stays in the column beside it, with the page it was read from.

The table above shows the cost per user per year for each provider. The Amsterdam database is the cheapest on that axis when the second login is used. Prezly Essential is cheaper per year at EUR 1,200 for one user, but its page does not document coverage of Dutch or Flemish media. The comparison is based on published prices only, measured 27 and 1 September 2026.
A buyer should check whether the database covers only the Netherlands or also includes Flanders. ANP Connect Database only claims to cover Belgium, but the platform FAQ page specifies that the journalist database covers Flanders, not all of Belgium. The hosting location matters for data protection.
the platform states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. The source is the platform FAQ page, measured 1 September 2026. No hosting party or certification is named on that page.
A buyer should also check whether the vendor publishes a price or requires a sales call. Both ANP Connect and De Perslijst publish their prices openly.
The cheapest per user per year is De Perslijst from the supplier at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, or EUR 1,325 per user per year. ANP Connect Database only costs EUR 2,990 per year for one user. Prezly Essential costs EUR 1,200 per year for one user, but its page does not document Dutch media coverage.
No. ANP Connect Database only is a separate product for accessing journalist contacts. The wire service costs extra per press release, starting at EUR 499 for trade and regional media, measured on the ANP Connect tariff page on 31 August 2026.
ANP Connect Database only includes one user login at EUR 2,990 per year. De Perslijst from this Dutch platform includes two logins at EUR 2,650 per year, as documented on the platform product page on 1 September 2026.
Both ANP Connect Database only and the journalist database from the platform cover the Dutch and Flemish media markets. the journalist database specifically mentions Flanders, not all of Belgium, on the platform FAQ page measured 1 September 2026.
