We used Crunchbase to learn about other companies' tech stacks and funding information. It was used by our lead development team.
  • Free information on companies
  • The Boost feature around tech stack is not worth the price. The information is outdated and as most companies are using 3rd party applications you can not see this.
  • They are very very expensive and not value for money. You can find most if not all this information with a Google search.
  • Customer support is rude and unhelpful [in my experience].
  • Beware of signing up for a trial - [I believe] they rely on unsuspecting people to put in their credit cards and you have to pay for the full year.
I don’t believe Crunchbase adds any real value [because] all the information they have is available via a Google search. They are very expensive and [in my opinion] not value for money.

  • $1600 spent zero return on investment
  • Tried to cancel subs for a refund and it wasn’t possible. Customer service was rude.
No

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 I tried to cancel my subscription after using it for only 1 week as we found the information was outdated and not at all useful.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.
