Trade media distribution in Holland in 2026 is available through two main pricing models. One model charges per press release. The other charges a yearly subscription for a database and sending system.

Per-release services in the Netherlands include ANP Connect.

Cheaper one-time options include Persberichtversturen.nl at EUR 75 per release and Verstuurmijnpersbericht.nl at EUR 99 per release, read from this Dutch platform product pages, 1 September 2026.
For coverage of trade media in the Netherlands and Flanders specifically, the Amsterdam supplier states that its database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, read 1 September 2026. The platform further states that all development and hosting takes place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, read 1 September 2026.

ANP Connect covers Dutch media through the ANP newswire and Belgian media through Belga.

The coverage of other international services like Prezly and Mynewsdesk for Dutch and Flemish trade media is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.
How do subscription databases compare to per-release services for trade media?
A subscription database like that database gives you two logins for a year at EUR 2,650 total. This equals EUR 1,325 per user per year. With that subscription you can send an unlimited number of press releases to the journalist database covering the Netherlands and Flanders.
The per-release model from ANP Connect starts at EUR 499 per press release for trade and regional media. If you send more than five trade press releases per year, the subscription becomes cheaper. A single press release from ANP Connect national media costs EUR 795, which is higher than one user login for a full year of the Amsterdam database.
Per-release services are useful for companies that send only one or two press releases per year. For frequent communication with trade media, a yearly subscription provides predictable costs. The subscription also includes the journalist database, which helps you find the right contacts for each story. Neither model charges a setup fee on the pages we measured, 27 and 1 September 2026.
Most providers specialising in the Dutch market publish their prices openly.

Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 to EUR 250 per month but does not state Dutch or Flemish journalist coverage on its pages, read 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month but has no Dutch-language pages and no stated Dutch coverage, read 31 August 2026.
