When Crunchbase is the better choice

  • You look up startups, funding rounds, investors or acquisitions and need the record itself.
  • You build prospect or investor lists with filters and export them to a CRM.
  • You need a company data feed through an API for your own product or workflow.

When MarketAgent fits better

  • You use Crunchbase mostly for a list of competitors and a rough market size, and you still end up building the estimate by hand.
  • You need TAM, SAM and SOM for a specific niche with the method and sources on the page so a board or client can check it.
  • You want competitor pricing tiers and an alert when a rival changes price or launches a product.
  • You are a founder, consultant or product team that needs a finished, sourced report today rather than a database to query.

Trying MarketAgent next to Crunchbase

Crunchbase and MarketAgent answer different questions, so many buyers use both. Crunchbase tells you who raised what. MarketAgent tells you how big the market is, who competes in it and what they charge. If your Crunchbase searches end in a spreadsheet where you estimate market size and copy competitor prices from their websites, test that step directly. Take a category you researched in Crunchbase and ask MarketAgent for the same segment, then compare the competitor list, the pricing detail and the sources.

Teams that only need funding records keep Crunchbase. Founders, consultants and product marketers who need the market view often add a monthly plan. Yearly plans are half the monthly price, see MarketAgent pricing, the market sizing method, research for venture capital and private equity, the PitchBook alternative page, or the CB Insights alternative page.

Questions

Questions about switching from Crunchbase

It depends on the job. PitchBook and Dealroom cover deal and funding data at higher or regional depth, CB Insights covers tech markets, and MarketAgent builds a sourced report on a market with sizing, competitors and pricing from $99 a month billed yearly.

Third party sources in 2026 report Crunchbase Pro near 99 USD a month billed monthly, with a lower first year rate on annual billing, and Business from about 199 USD a month. API access is quoted separately. Check the current Crunchbase pricing page before buying.

Yes. Crunchbase does not size markets, it lists companies and funding. MarketAgent writes out a top down and bottom up TAM, SAM and SOM for your segment with every input linked to its source, from $99 a month billed yearly.

For market sizing, competitor profiles and competitor pricing, often yes. For funding rounds, investor lists, lead lists and a company data API, no. MarketAgent uses public sources and does not include a proprietary funding database.

For raw company and funding records, you need another data vendor. If the reason for the API was market context for a deck or plan, MarketAgent returns a finished sourced report on the market, competitors and pricing instead of records to process.
