Considered Both Products	Crunchbase Verified User Anonymous Chose Crunchbase It has more data and it's for sure more accurate, Crunchbase has a better platform when talking about visual and it's also easier to search. Also, it has better filters which can help companies to dive deeper into researching accordingly to their needs Incentivized Helpful? Christian Brock Director Chose Crunchbase UK based business, good data, great insights. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Crunchbase I like Pitchbook a lot -- but too expensive for a slight difference in our use case. If Crunchbase added valuation "estimates" (kind of like zillow "zestimates"), it would be awesome instead of just very good. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Crunchbase Crunchbase is cheaper and the overall price/value balance is better Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Crunchbase 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Crunchbase Crunchbase is definitely bottom of the barrel in this space. At similar pricing models, all competitors I have tried have significantly bigger and more updated databases. Crunchbase may have been great sometime in the past, but they are not worth engaging now. Incentivized Helpful? Vivian Okere Commercial Account Executive Chose Crunchbase The UI/UX: Crunchbase gives me visibility of everything in one place. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Crunchbase Crunchbase is the best resource for prospecting startups hands down. TechTarget has a lot of useful info, but I found it to be inaccurate where it mattered most. Crunchbase's data seems more accurate, and is also easier to use. Not the most exact comparison, but they offer … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Crunchbase Sales Navigator is better only because it provides you with more direct contacts to reach out to. Crunchbase only tells you really the top dogs in the company like c-level execs, not necessarily contacts that you would be having sales conversations with. Incentivized Helpful? Parker O'Very Marketing Operations Manager Chose Crunchbase Crunchbase has far more company data than LinkedIn Sales Navigator. The thing that it lacks is data on the people at those companies. LinkedIn Sales Navigator also has a better CRM integration, from what I understand. It is more automated. For our strategy, we use both of these … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Crunchbase This question always gets me. In a world with so many database solutions, it becomes quite difficult to compare, its the subtleties. Bigger is usually better...Crunchbase has gone through over 300...300 rounds of funding. In a world where there are so many options, going with … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Crunchbase I have found that Crunchbase has more up-to-date information when comparing ZoomInfo and EverString. Incentivized Helpful? ★ Kevin Thomas ★ Small Business Consultant - Financial Services Chose Crunchbase I don't know of other services like Crunchbase, in my mind it stands alone. Of course I could use FormDs, but it's cumbersome and doesn't provide the same level of information, so I rarely use it. Incentivized Helpful?	Data Axle Genie Verified User Anonymous Chose Data Axle Genie Zoom Info is always going to be the most robust. They have the best-verified data in the area. BUT they are incredibly expensive. Data Axel Genie is actually less expensive, but you get what you pay for. You may not have the cleanest contacts, but you have more options. Incentivized Helpful? Mike Lassers Landstar JHC Agency Owner Chose Data Axle Genie Customer service! Love being able to call and get a rep on the phone who actually knows my name. Incentivized Helpful? Elizabeth Rodriguez Business Solutions Manager Chose Data Axle Genie Salesgenie is comparable to many of the big names out there. However, depending on your needs and financial capabilities is what you get out of it. Though it provides a great list of leads, it makes it a little difficult with the incorrect information. I would rank it top 10 … Incentivized Helpful? Cristina Slomski Chose Data Axle Genie Salesgenie seemed more intuitive and knowledgeable account manager that handled my account. He quickly assisted my company needs and made recommendations based on the information I provided him. Incentivized Helpful? Dan Sherman Sales Representative Chose Data Axle Genie DiscoverOrg was the best, it had an amazing organization structure that made it easy to find the right person.

User Testimonials
	Crunchbase	Data Axle Genie
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Salesgenie is great for business to consumer. If you are a financial adviser, insurance sales rep or solar sales, this is an ideal low-cost database that will help significantly. However, if you sell Business to Business, I would not recommend this product. It is not geared toward corporate structure and doesn't provide any value. Incentivized Dan Sherman Sales Representative Read full review
Pros	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. Incentivized Parker O'Very Marketing Operations Manager Read full review	I liked the organization of the database it was easy to maneuver. Search was fairly easy to maintain. If you want to create a list of leads this will work. However, it is primarily for consumer leads not B2B. Incentivized Dan Sherman Sales Representative Read full review
Cons	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We have a very specific industry and sometimes drilling down to these leads can be challenging. But with customer service, they have solved this for us. Mike Lassers Landstar JHC Agency Owner Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	It was good when we had it but there definitely more softwares out there that provide more information, more current contact info and are much more user friendly Incentivized Elizabeth Rodriguez Business Solutions Manager Read full review
Usability	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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Easy to use and great customer service. Mike Lassers Landstar JHC Agency Owner Read full review
Support Rating	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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Spot on and always available. Mike Lassers Landstar JHC Agency Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Zoom Info is always going to be the most robust. They have the best-verified data in the area. BUT they are incredibly expensive. Data Axel Genie is actually less expensive, but you get what you pay for. You may not have the cleanest contacts, but you have more options. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Crunchbase has enabled my company to be more efficient in determining whether or not to conduct further diligence on companies. Tailoring searches for certain criteria has been helpful for aggregating competitors and companies of similar profiles. The software is not only powerful, but also affordable! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Positive, I was able to generate about three more proposals a week Positive nice organization to establish a call list Nice structure, great way to target hot or cold leads. Great way to get your feet wet Incentivized Dayna Tartt Business Solutions Executive Read full review
