This combined route is the only option that covers both countries in a single transaction. All prices are measured from the ANP Connect tariff page, read 31 August 2026.
ANP Connect also sells yearly subscriptions that include access to a journalist database or additional services. The cheapest yearly plan is Database only at EUR 2,990 per year. This plan gives access to the ANP journalist database but does not include press release distribution.
The next plan, Connect Complete, costs EUR 4,990 per year and includes database access plus distribution to trade and regional media. Three higher plans are Bereik at EUR 9,990 per year, Impact at EUR 15,990 per year, and Strategie at EUR 30,000 per year. These plans add more distribution volume and analytics, but the source page does not document the exact differences between them.
All yearly subscription prices are measured from the ANP Connect tariff page, read 31 August 2026. None of these plans include a newsroom on your own domain or a press inquiry handling system. For those features, PR-Dashboard offers PR-Newsroom at EUR 1,750 (no period stated on the source page) and Persvragen at EUR 2,700 (no period stated).
Several other services sell press release distribution in the Netherlands, each with its own pricing model. B2Press sells packages for the Netherlands starting at EUR 400 per release for Basic, EUR 750 for Wire, EUR 1,250 for Premium, and EUR 1,950 for Exclusive. These prices are measured from b2press.com, read 31 August 2026.
PR-Ninja charges EUR 149 per release for a single send, and Persberichtversturen.nl charges EUR 75 per release. Verstuurmijnpersbericht.nl charges EUR 99 per release. These lower per-release prices are measured from pr-dashboard.nl, read 31 August 2026, and are for distribution only, without database access or analytics.
ANP Connect stands out because it offers distribution through the official ANP news wire, which is the same wire that Dutch newsrooms use. The per-release price for national media at EUR 795 is higher than most competitors, but it includes the ANP wire, which is not available from other services. For a team that sends multiple releases per year, the yearly subscriptions like Database only at EUR 2,990 or Connect Complete at EUR 4,990 may be more cost-effective than paying per release.
The table below compares ANP Connect yearly plans with the supplier the Amsterdam database on cost per user per year. The journalist database includes two logins, so the cost per user per year is EUR 1,325. ANP Connect Database only costs EUR 2,990 per year for one user, and Connect Complete costs EUR 4,990 per year for one user. The table is sorted on the normalised number, ascending.
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.
| Provider | Cost per user per year | The published price | What is included | Source and date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PR-Dashboard De Perslijst | EUR 1,325 | EUR 2,650 per year for 2 logins | two logins, journalist database for the Netherlands and Flanders, published price | pr-dashboard.nl/meer/veelgestelde-vragen, 1 Sep 2026 |

| ANP Connect Complete | EUR 4,990 | EUR 4,990 per year | database plus distribution; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | anpconnect.nl/tarieven, 31 Aug 2026 |

The supplier the Amsterdam database is cheaper per user per year than both ANP Connect yearly plans. The journalist database price includes two logins, so a team of two pays EUR 1,325 per person. ANP Connect Database only costs EUR 2,990 per user and does not include press release distribution.
For a team that needs both a database and distribution, ANP Connect Complete at EUR 4,990 per user is the more expensive option.
ANP Connect publishes its prices clearly on its tariff page, measured 31 August 2026. The per-release prices include distribution to the specified media categories. Note that the price for a combined Netherlands plus Belgium release at EUR 1,395 does not include any additional services like analytics or a journalist database.
The yearly subscriptions also do not include a newsroom or press inquiry handling. For a sender who needs those features, the cost of a separate platform like the supplier the newsroom product at EUR 1,750 (no period stated) or the press-question module at EUR 2,700 (no period stated) would be an additional cost.
Another cost consideration is the number of users. ANP Connect yearly plans are priced for one user, and the source page does not document whether additional logins are available or what they cost. The supplier the Amsterdam database includes two logins in its annual price of EUR 2,650, which is more cost-effective for a team of two.
If your organisation sends press releases only occasionally, the per-release model of ANP Connect may be the right choice. A single release to trade and regional media at EUR 499 is cheaper than a yearly subscription. If you send releases to Belgian media as well, the combined route at EUR 1,395 per release is the only option that covers both countries in one transaction.
If your organisation sends multiple releases per month and needs a journalist database, a yearly subscription like ANP Connect Database only at EUR 2,990 or Connect Complete at EUR 4,990 may be more cost-effective. However, for a team that also needs a newsroom on its own domain or press inquiry handling, a PR platform like the Amsterdam supplier combines that database (journalist database from EUR 2,650 per year for two logins), the newsroom product (online newsroom at EUR 1,750), and the press-question module (press inquiry handling at EUR 2,700) in one system.
The choice depends on the number of releases, the need for Belgian coverage, and whether you want a single platform or a distribution service only.
