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.

Looking to create lists of target companies through the advanced search feature or the query builder if one is planning to reach out to the individuals listed in the profile. Looking for investment and company history information to inform sourcing or competitive landscape research.

• 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.

• Crunchbase has an easy-to-navigate user interface. The bar at the top of the screen that shows the different data points available on companies is particularly helpful for quick navigating.
• The ability to make and import lists and save searches is helpful for customizing the software to your particular needs.
• The web and mobile app data that Crunchbase offers is very helpful to gauge trends and interest in companies for diligence purposes.

Incentivized

• Data accuracy can be mixed at times, especially for niche industries
• Somewhat basic level of targeting
• lacks deeper integration and enrichment tools

• 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.

Because the platform is built for speed and simplicity. Users can apply filters like job title, location, industry, and company size easily without training.

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 I tried to cancel my subscription after using it for only 1 week as we found the information was outdated and not at all useful.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 is best suited once email marketing or selling campaigns are initiated. It helps in reaching the decision maker in any particular company and makes bouncing back almost negligible

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.

• Increase meetings booked by BDRS by 30%
• Decrease time needed to book meetings
• Freed up BDR time to take on additional projects

• Crunchbase has been great and given us a lot of new companies to go after that have received funding and turned into great meetings. We do not pay a ton, so the ROI is great.
• We have nothing but positive results using Crunchbase and rely on it heavily for prospecting.
• It might add more value if we get a more expensive or advanced version.
