ListGrabber vs. PitchBook

Since we use ListGrabber basically only for mail outs and extractions out of Yellow Pages, our organisation is probably not the best one to provide such information.

If you are a company or an individual that needs reliable information about SMEs or startups, this is the best platform for you to get this information in a very efficient way. If you are just doing a basic due diligence to see active VC funds, figuring out valuations or companies in one industry, or just getting general information about an industry, it is probably better to get it from somewhere else on the internet. The reasoning behind it is that PitchBook is very expensive as opposed to other options out there.

• Easy to use - Pretty user friendly.
• Compatible with Australian Yellow Pages.
• Extracts information into Excel which helps us to create mail outs.

• Tools for data analysis, idea generation, and workflow management.
• Easy access to trusted news, data, analytics and insights.
• Industry sector specific metrics and analytics to inform decision-making.

• Drivers are updated constantly by Yellow Pages. Since we use ListGrabber only twice or thrice a year it is not really worthwhile to purchase new versions each year. The product should come with at least a couple of years of free updates.
• Product crashes from time to time when extracting a large amount of information.

• Can be glitchy when loading
• Contact information can be inaccurate
• Typically a day or two late to real time news and deals

The overall support for PitchBook is about average. It is not excellent for two primary reasons. First, PitchBook can run slow from time to time, and I cannot copy and paste from the Chrome extension. I have found neither of those issues to be a function of the computer I am using. However, the PitchBook support team has proved helpful on several occasions.

We actually use both. CBInsights we use more regularly for market capture, and PitchBook when we are actively seeking acquisitions.

Incentivized

• Increased efficiency - ListGrabber helps us get pages of contacts in a few hours, which would probably take days if done manually.
• Since the product extracts to Excel, it is easy to convert into mail out formats.

• Saved us from investing with an incorrect valuation (multiple times)
• You need to pay per license per user. It is definitely expensive for a small accelerator.
