    PitchBook
    PitchBook is excellent for building a rolodex of contacts, especially for firms which may be newer and lacking an established reputation within their given industry. I have used it as a tool to identify groups which may be interested in equity investments in one-off real estate deals, though the platform more prominently features groups which are more interested in programmatic/JV fund structures. PitchBook can also be useful as a tool for identifying industry trends, as it tends to capture creation of new funds and their investment appetites at any given time.

    Unfortunately, Trustpilot's disingenuous pricing habits and communication methods are the reason we ultimately ended our 3 year relationship with the company. In 2023, we signed a 1 year agreement for their basic plan (product reviews, Q&A, etc) at $3,800/year... Fair enough. In 2024, the price jumps to $5,040/year... Okay, steep - but we're still seeing good use of the tools, sort of justified? For 2025 it skyrockets to $8,976/year (+78% from prior)... But, after a month of haggling and threats to cancel, they 'graciously' drop it to $7,569/year. Now for 2026, Trustpilot is demanding $9,576/year for the EXACT SAME PLAN. That's a 152% increase since we started, with zero added value.

    Cons
    PitchBook
    • It would be nice to have the best parts of the deal tab merged into the general information tab for a company.
    • If possible, gather more information on certain executives. There are use cases where our clients want us to research candidates who may not have much information on LinkedIn or RocketReach.

    Usability
    PitchBook
    I think its a great platform as is. Its usable and we get most of the information as and when we need. I don't like the landing page after login, so I don't like to go to PitchBook every day to review daily updates on the industry. It's way too cluttered and requires MFA every time

    Simple user interface - easy to understand with high level overviews, but also getting into the detail with questions for those who want it. The only issue I have is the connection with LinkedIn - sometimes it fails and makes you re-enter details again which can be a bit frustrating!

    Support Rating
    PitchBook
    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.

    I've rarely had issues and needed support. During the implementation phase we relied on their support heavily and they were very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. Any questions I've had have been answered promptly by my account manager. They also have a great knowledgebase for self-service support.

    I also use SignalNFX, but it doesn't exist in the dropbox. Signal is a much more practical tool when it comes to a preliminary search, and when it comes to connecting with the right person. It scrapes your gmail history and linkedin to find who you're really connected to and figures out how to leverage that to get an intro. Sales NAVIGATOR is better for massive outbound, but not very relevant otherwise. PitchBook's real value is in the database. It won't help you reach out, but it sure will find you every single VC firm that could ever invest in your company.

    Selected Trustpilot because of superior integration with the website and Google SERPS. Again, my only complaint would be Trustpilot was relatively more expensive than the other technologies.

    Return on Investment
    PitchBook
    • It has allowed us to be more targeted in our sales campaigns.
    • Great headhunting and market mapping data.
    • We have been in a very difficult hiring market so it hasn't given me the ROI I would have hoped, but that isn't PitchBook's fault!

    • We have been able to modify our marketing points based on what customers seemed confused about or the aspects of our business that they appreciate.
