How do you choose between a Dutch database and an international database?

If your organisation works primarily with Dutch and Flemish media, a Dutch database like the Amsterdam database from the platform or the ANP Connect database is likely a better fit.

ANP Connect's database-only plan costs EUR 2,990 per year for one user.

Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 to 250 per month, but it does not document whether its database includes Dutch journalists.

Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month and has no Dutch-language pages at all, as documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. The choice depends on whether you need a database that is proven to cover the Dutch and Flemish markets.
