DataFox (discontinued) vs. Terapeak

It is a really good solution when it comes to insights on companies where you want to place your products because it tells you all the information where you can attach the use of your solution, the only thing is that it needs more information on mid-market.

Terapeak makes sense for people looking to sell a lot of items or resellers. It does not make sense for people selling one-off items or individuals looking to simply spring clean. It is great for determining pricing, what to start auctions at, and figuring out a shipping/returns strategy (whether or not to offer free shipping, have the buyer pay shipping, and if you should have returns allowed.) I would not recommend it if you just want to move the item out of your house or if you do not care what price an item sells for.

• DataFox allows you to filter your company searches with very specific criteria. This ensures that you generate companies that are relevant to your customer segment and that will have promise.
• DataFox has awesome export functionality. Once you create a list of companies, you can export it to Excel/CSV and import the list to Salesforce.
• DataFox has a very clean and easy and approachable User Interface that is easy to navigate and learn quickly.

• Aggregates sales information well, so I do not need to scroll through pages of listings.
• Helps with determining shipping/whether to turn on free shipping or not.
• Helps with sourcing and deciding whether to pay up for certain items.

• It has too little information on emerging markets like Latam.
• Only big companies, you can't find info on small ones.
• Making it easier to educate the AI.

• I wish I could use Terapeak outside of eBay. Why can't I use it with other platforms like Mercari, Poshmark, etc.?
• I don't like that I have to pay for this feature. Other selling platforms provide their sold information free of charge.
• It feels antiquated. I need to click through many menus and tabs to price items. I wish it would automatically move me through the pages, instead of making me fill out the information, then hit "next" or "enter."

We utilize both for the most accurate information in terms of employee count of company, location of headquarters address, validity of what current technology that may be using today. Also cross reference this information with LinkedIn and other sites to get the best info possible to determine rules of engagement for reps.

Terapeak can't be beaten for selling on eBay, because it is part and parcel with eBay. For comparable listings on other sites, I prefer Sellhound and Jungle Scout. I find that Webgility and Price2Spy are more helpful for SEO and getting to the top of Google's search results. I feel that I get more eyes on my products using other services when I am not specifically selling through eBay. But on eBay, Terapeak is the only service I will use.

• Relatively cheap when compared to the other alternatives we looked at and already beginning to show value in terms of new TAM

• We have saved time by using Terapeak for pricing. We did not price our items up too much but made them competitive with the market.
• We made more money using Terapeak than we would have without it because we did not under-price items. Terapeak gave accurate comparable sold listings.
• One negative impact was simply the cost. It was about $20/month and was set up to auto-renew. We forgot to cancel our membership and accidentally paid for a service we weren't using.
