CoRepo vs. Crunchbase

I have to go through a lot of data, searching for healthcare companies matching specific criteria. And it took a lot of my time to filter through google search results, opening dozens, hundreds of pages to find what I was looking for. With corepo.org it got much! easier and faster. These inbuilt search filters are amazing. If you need to search companies for any reason—CoRepo is definitely something you should try. Some of my colleagues also started using CoRepo for marketing and analysis. It is free for now, so why not save time and money on daily researches. This tool still has room for improvement, but as long as it is free—it is a good substitution to some pretty expensive analogs I used before.

The data is outdated and has significant gaps.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.

• Filters companies in search by very specific criteria.
• Saves time when doing research.
• Provides company information which is hard to find online.

• 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.

• Make filters more visible, they are not obvious for new users.
• Add some descriptions or best practices.
• Allow users to create their own lists and share them.

• 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

From my experience, CoRepo provides better search results, with links to the main page of company's official website, allows to group companies on varied criteria. While at Crunchbase information is often outdated or insufficient. Had to verify with official company websites or LinkedIn. LinkedIn Sales Navigator has fewer filters, so I have to additionally filter search results, sometimes manually. And CoRepo is free, while Crunchbase and LinkedIn are not)

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.
