What does a single press release cost to send in the Netherlands in 2026?
Paying for a press release by the piece is a common way to start. In the Netherlands in 2026, several services publish a price per release. Persberichtversturen.nl lists EUR 75 per release, measured on 31 August 2026.
PR-Ninja charges EUR 149 per release, and Verstuurmijnpersbericht.nl offers a one-time send for EUR 99 per release. B2Press publishes EUR 400 for its Basic package for the Netherlands, EUR 750 for Wire, EUR 1,250 for Premium, and EUR 1,950 for Exclusive, all measured on 31 August 2026. ANP Connect charges EUR 499 per release for trade and regional media, EUR 795 for national media via ANP-net, EUR 999 for both, and EUR 1,395 for the Netherlands plus Belgium.
These prices are per release, not a yearly subscription.
Which press release services publish a price per release in Flanders and the Netherlands?
Several services that cover the Netherlands and Flanders publish a price per release. ANP Connect has a specific option for Belgian media via Belga at EUR 495 per release, and a combined Netherlands plus Belgium option at EUR 1,395 per release, both measured on 31 August 2026. B2Press offers packages for the Netherlands but does not document a separate Flanders price on the pages measured, 31 August 2026.
PR-Dashboard does not publish a per-release price for sending; its products are subscriptions. The cheapest per-release option with a documented price for the Netherlands and Flanders combined is not available, as the single-country options are cheaper per release than the combined ones.
Do press release services have hidden costs like word count limits or embargo fees?
None of the services we measured document a separate surcharge for word count, translation, or embargo on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. ANP Connect, B2Press, Persberichtversturen.nl, PR-Ninja, and Verstuurmijnpersbericht.nl list a single price per release without mentioning extra fees for these items. However, the absence of documentation does not mean these fees do not exist; it means the pricing pages we measured on 31 August 2026 do not mention them.
For example, a longer press release or one with an embargo might require a different package, but the pages do not state that. A buyer should ask the provider directly about word count limits or embargo handling before sending.
How does the cost per press release compare to a yearly subscription for a journalist database?
For a team that sends many press releases, a yearly subscription to a journalist database may be cheaper per use. PR-Dashboard sells De Perslijst for EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which gives access to a database of Dutch and Flemish journalists and a sending system, measured on 31 August 2026. If a team sends 20 press releases per year, the cost per release is EUR 132.50, which is cheaper than B2Press Premium at EUR 1,250 per release or ANP Connect at EUR 795 per release for national media.
But if a team sends only one or two releases per year, a per-release service like Persberichtversturen.nl at EUR 75 per release is far cheaper. The choice depends on the volume of releases.
Which vendor publishes the lowest price to send a press release to Dutch and Flemish journalists in 2026?
The cheapest published price for a single press release to the Netherlands is Persberichtversturen.nl at EUR 75 per release, measured on 31 August 2026. For a combined send to the Netherlands and Belgium, ANP Connect charges EUR 1,395 per release, which is the cheapest combined option with a documented price. For a team sending many releases, De Perslijst from the supplier at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins becomes cheaper per release after about 36 releases at EUR 75 each, or 18 releases at EUR 149 each.
The cheapest option overall depends on the number of releases and the geographic coverage needed.

What should you check before you buy a press release service in the Netherlands?
Before you buy a press release service, check the geographic coverage. Some services cover only the Netherlands, while others cover Flanders or all of Belgium. ANP Connect has a separate price for Belgian media via Belga at EUR 495 per release, and a combined option at EUR 1,395 per release.
Check if the price includes translation or editing. The pages we measured on 31 August 2026 do not document word count limits, embargo handling, or translation fees, so ask the provider. Check if the service distributes to a curated list of journalists or to a wire service.
ANP Connect uses its own ANP-net, while B2Press uses its own network. Finally, compare the per-release price to a yearly subscription if you plan to send many releases. The Amsterdam database from the Amsterdam supplier costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins and includes a journalist database, which may be more cost-effective for regular senders.
