	Crunchbase	PitchBook
Considered Both Products	Crunchbase Inc. Verified User 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 Chose Crunchbase Crunchbase is cheaper and the overall price/value balance is better Incentivized Helpful? Verified User 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?	PitchBook Verified User Chose PitchBook Certain regards, such as comprehensiveness and ability to store and export searches and data related to searches PitchBook performs better than the above and remains our go to tool. However we also use DealRoom to supplement some of that data to ensure comprehensiveness and … Incentivized Helpful? Ariel Leong Commercialization Fellow at JHTV (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose PitchBook PitchBook is one of the best. More usable than Bloomberg Terminal though it has less information.

Verified User Chose PitchBook PitchBook is seen as the industry gold standard Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose PitchBook Pitchbook complements the above but does not compete directly with them. Incentivized Helpful?

Verified User Chose PitchBook Much cheaper. Much broader data set. Let reliable. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose PitchBook PitchBook excels at private company data and has significantly improved its coverage of investors and funds.

Verified User Chose PitchBook PB is more comprehensive, more current, more detaile.d Incentivized Helpful? Rich Julien Partner at BOKA Capital (Venture Capital & Private Equity, 11-50 employees) Chose PitchBook The strength of Pitchbook is its consistency. While many of the competitors do one aspect better than Pitchbook, Pitchbook does each aspect I am looking for well. In other words, while Pitchbook might not be the #1 in a specific category, they are always at least #2 so that … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose PitchBook PitchBook has the most accurate and complete data. CB Insights platform loads slightly more quickly and is a little more intuitive, but lacks data integrity. Tracxn is not easy to use, but offers some data on a lot of international and small, non-VC or PE-backed companies. … Incentivized Helpful? Fernando Moreno Director of Startup Success in Professional Services at Newchip (Venture Capital & Private Equity, 51-200 employees) Chose PitchBook PitchBook is by far the more reliable source for non public companies.
