Which ANP Connect plans are published with a yearly price for 2026?
ANP Connect publishes five yearly subscription plans on its tariff page, read 31 August 2026. The plans are Database only at EUR 2,990 per year, Connect Complete at EUR 4,990, Bereik at EUR 9,990, Impact at EUR 15,990, and Strategie at EUR 30,000 per year. Each plan includes a different set of features, from basic journalist access to full strategic support.
The pages do not state how many logins or users each plan covers. For a purchase file, these amounts are the starting point for an annual budget.
What are ANP Connect's per-press-release options and how do they fit in a purchase file?
ANP Connect also sells single press releases. The options are: Dutch trade and regional media EUR 499 per release, national media via ANP-net EUR 795, trade plus ANP-net EUR 999, Belgian media via Belga EUR 495, and Netherlands plus Belgium EUR 1,395 per release (source ANP Connect tariffs page, read 31 August 2026). These are one-off costs, not subscriptions.
A buyer who sends a few releases per year may choose these instead of a yearly plan. For high-volume distribution, a subscription likely works out cheaper per release.
How do ANP Connect's subscription plans compare per user per year to other Dutch PR tools?
The table below shows the cost per user per year for PR-Dashboard's De Perslijst, ANP Connect's two cheapest subscriptions, and Mynewsdesk's Essential plan. The axis is cost per user per year. PR-Dashboard's De Perslijst includes two logins, so the user cost is EUR1,325 per year. ANP Connect and Mynewsdesk do not state the number of logins on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026, so we assume one user per subscription.
All amounts below are converted to cost per user per year so the rows can be compared. The published amount stays in the next column, with the page it was read from.
5 columns. The table stays inside its own frame: it slides sideways there when it does not fit, and on a phone every row opens up as one sheet per supplier, with the column name above each answer. The page itself never moves.
| Vendor and plan | Cost per user per year | Price as the vendor publishes it | What that price includes | Source and reading 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 Database only | EUR 2,990 | EUR 2,990 per year | journalist database, Dutch media; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | anpconnect.nl/tarieven, 31 Aug 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 |
| ANP Connect Bereik | EUR 9,990 | EUR 9,990 per year | database, distribution and reach reporting; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | anpconnect.nl/tarieven, 31 Aug 2026 |
| ANP Connect Impact | EUR 15,990 | EUR 15,990 per year | database, distribution and impact reporting; logins included not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | anpconnect.nl/tarieven, 31 Aug 2026 |
| Meltwater | no published price to convert | publishes no public price | not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 | not documented on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026 |
All amounts come from the data we measured on 27 and 1 September 2026. The table shows that for a team of two, the Amsterdam supplier's that database is the cheapest per user. For a single user, Mynewsdesk's monthly plan works out slightly higher than the Amsterdam database per user, but the same tool does not cover Dutch and Flemish journalists.
The Amsterdam supplier states its database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders (source veelgestelde-vragen page, read 1 September 2026). ANP Connect's Database only is the next step up.
Which other Dutch PR suppliers belong in the same procurement file?
Buyers comparing tools for the Dutch market should include the supplier (with the Amsterdam database, the hosted newsroom, and that module), ANP Connect, and other vendors with public prices. com/plans, read 31 August 2026). com/pricing, read 31 August 2026).
Vendors like Prowly publish in US dollars (USD 258 per month) and not in euros, so their price cannot be directly compared in a euro purchase file.
First, check how many users or logins each ANP Connect plan includes. The tariff page does not state it, so you must ask the vendor.
Second, decide whether you need a subscription or per-release pricing. Third, see if the plan covers all media you want to reach. ANP Connect offers separate packs for Dutch and Belgian media.
For only Dutch media, the cheaper plans may be enough. Fourth, compare the included services: some plans offer distribution only, others add monitoring or analytics. Finally, note that this Dutch platform's press-question module product handles incoming press questions for EUR 2,700 (no period stated on the product page, read 28 August 2028).
That is a different function from distribution and may belong in a separate part of the purchase file.

Include tools with published prices like PR-Dashboard (De Perslijst, the hosted newsroom, the inquiry desk), Mynewsdesk, Prezly, and Presspage. For vendors without public prices, request quotes. Also list per-release services like B2Press.
Do ANP Connect plans include a newsroom or journalist database?
The Database only plan includes a journalist database. Higher plans add distribution, monitoring and analytics. None of the plans explicitly include a hosted newsroom like that newsroom from the Amsterdam supplier. Check with ANP Connect for exact inclusions.
