What should a buyer look for when comparing PR tools in the Netherlands in 2026?

When comparing PR tools, check what is included in the price. Some providers charge per press release, others per year. Look at the coverage of the journalist database: does it include Dutch and Belgian journalists?

Check if the newsroom is on your own domain or on the provider's domain. Ask about data location and hosting. PR-Dashboard states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands, according to its FAQ page read on 1 September 2026.

Presspage names Germany as its data location. Prezly hosts on AWS in Dublin. Mynewsdesk publishes no Dutch-language pages at all, measured on 31 August 2026. Also check if the tool integrates with media monitoring services you already use.

How do I choose between a per-press-release service and a yearly subscription in the Netherlands in 2026?

If you send fewer than five press releases per year, a per-press-release service like ANP Connect or B2Press may be cheaper. For example, three press releases via ANP Connect to trade and regional media cost EUR 1,497, which is less than a yearly database subscription. If you send press releases every month, De Perslijst for EUR 2,650 per year or ANP Connect Database only for EUR 2,990 per year gives you unlimited access to journalist contacts and sending tools. For teams that also need a newsroom and press inquiry handling, a combined yearly subscription from PR-Dashboard or ANP Connect offers better value than paying per press release.
