Clodura.AI vs. Crunchbase

Its best suitable when you want to search related contacts in open eneded internet or linkedin searches. Its not suitable when you want the all the data showed to you like Australia has x number of companies / A city has x number of companies / etc. If you want directory based search its not recommended.

The data is outdated and has significant gaps. It is mostly a replication of what is easily and publicly available, with little value added. Their predatory subscription model includes no notice of renewal and they are very antagonistic towards their customers.

• Finding companies, contacts within your TAM
• Getting daily sales intel triggers on the TAM
• Finding emails & direct dials
• Automation of sales sequences

• Account-Based Data. Employee range, website, industry, company description, chief executives, latest news, etc. All for the given company you are researching.
• Salesforce integration. I have not used it, but the functionality is supposed to be great. You can run data enrichment in your CRM with the Crunchbase data.
• Funding, mergers, and acquisitions data. Crunchbase has relationships with thousands of VC firms throughout the world and followup with each very regularly to be able to serve up the latest data to their users.
• Tech integrations. Integrations with tools like Bombora, Builtwith, Siftery, and others are really useful because you can use Crunchbase's company profile-based research method, and see the data from these tools specifically related to the given company.

• Direct Dials needs more accurate and available without paying third party provider
• Intent searching can be useful with steps
• Connecting your PBX or third party phones can be useful
• Auto suggestions depending on your industry and create automated filters
• Keep watch on intent and see person looking for x service has changed in last couple of months/days.

• Notifications - Something similar to TweetDeck would be nice, so that when news breaks it could be an immediate fact.
• Honestly dont add too much because you don't want it to become more of a social tool with cluttered info, keep it straight to the point.

In our experience, the customer service is horrible to non existent. If we were a fortune 100 company with a staff of computer people I am sure this would be a valuable service as they would "speak the language" but that is not us. Not being able to reach customer service when we are thinking about upgrading is, in my opinion, a crazy business model.

They give standard answers. They are not a customer first business. I tried to cancel my subscription after using it for only 1 week as we found the information was outdated and not at all useful. But they would not cancel the year long subscription I mistakenly signed up for

Clodura is a more complete platform and an all in one tool for prospecting. We don't have to invest in separate tools for data, emails, direct dials, sales intel triggers & email campaigns

Ptichbook. This platform is more detailed and has a lot more information regarding round details. The platform also has other features to build lists, market maps, landscapes and access reports and raw data about companies by vertical or any other segmentation. Also provides emails on c-suite. Crunchbase however is an easier tool to use so if complicated segmentation is not required, Crunchabse is a great solution. It's also super fast to access and provides a succinct and easy to read profile view.
