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
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.
Chose Crunchbase
Crunchbase is cheaper and the overall price/value balance is better
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 …
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.
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 …
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.
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 …
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.

  • The web and mobile app data that Crunchbase offers is very helpful to gauge trends and interest in companies for diligence purposes.

Cons
Crunchbase Inc.
  • 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.

Usability
Crunchbase Inc.
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.

Support Rating
Crunchbase Inc.
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

Return on Investment
Crunchbase Inc.
  • 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.
