One of these sells analysis. The other sells the rows.
CB Insights is a research business. You are paying analysts to interpret private-market activity and hand you a view. FundedIQ has no view: it hands you the funded companies, the round, the investors and someone to email. If you only ever used CB Insights for the underlying data, this is a much smaller purchase.
CB Insights pricing and features on this page were verified on 2026-08-22 . Every figure links to its source.
The short answer
You want the raw activity and you will do your own thinking. The output is a prospect list or a sourcing list, not a slide.
You want a defensible market view written by someone else, with maps and reports you can put in front of a board.
What usually decides it: whether the deliverable is a list or an argument.

Where CB Insights is the better choice
- You want the analysis, not the rows. CB Insights is bought for its research and market maps, and we publish neither.
- You are building a market thesis or a board deck and need someone else’s framing to argue with.
- You need tech-landscape and competitive-mapping views across a sector.
- Your budget is an enterprise research line, not a sales tool line.
What we do not do
- Analyst research, market maps or industry reports.
- Competitive landscape scoring of any kind.
- Predictive company health or "mosaic"-style scores.
- Anything that involves a human writing an opinion about a sector.
Common questions
How much does CB Insights cost?
They do not say. Every tier on their pricing page reads "Request pricing", checked 2026-08-22. Expect an enterprise research contract rather than a seat licence.
Is FundedIQ a CB Insights replacement?
Only if what you wanted from CB Insights was the underlying funding activity. Most people buy it for the research layer on top, and we do not produce research of any kind.
What do I get for $19 a month?
The companies that raised in the last seven days as a CSV and XLSX file every Monday, typically around 230 of them, each with the round, the amount, named investors where we hold them and a founder with a graded email confidence.
Do you cover the same companies?
We hold 60,564 companies and 82,802 rounds, weighted heavily towards recent activity. CB Insights covers more ground and adds a layer of judgement we do not attempt.
