Bookyourdata vs. Crunchbase

It’s really fast to get the list you need. The search filters are easy to use, and the results are solid. I’ve run email campaigns using their data and got strong open rates with almost no bounces. I also like that they have a fair pricing model—you don’t need a subscription, and they offer free data samples.

The data is outdated and has significant gaps.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.

• Gather professional and verified emails of prospects with almost 95% accuracy
• It verifies emails before exporting; this reduces bounced email rates.
• they only charge for deliverable emails.
• Their Credit never expires.

• 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.

• Few small businesses are not covered.
• Telephone contacts are missing at places.

• 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 I tried to cancel my subscription after using it for only 1 week as we found the information was outdated and not at all useful.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

Bookyourdata stacks up with Apollo by offering no-frills list building that is cost effective, easy to use, and offers flexible pay as you go pricing. For us, it was a no brainer and easy to cancel if we needed to switch, but we haven't found the need to move, and have found a positive delta for our ROI on using Bookyourdata

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.
