Pay once, or keep paying. Both are defensible.
Fundraise Insider sells the funded-companies list as a single payment with no subscription, hand-verified, covering North America and the UK. FundedIQ sells it as a global subscription with a searchable archive. Neither is obviously right, and the answer depends on how often you actually prospect.
Fundraise Insider pricing and features on this page were verified on 2026-08-22 . Every figure links to its source.
The short answer
You prospect continuously, you sell outside North America and the UK, or you want to filter and export the archive rather than work from a delivered list.
You want one purchase and no renewal, you only sell into North America and the UK, and hand-verified contacts matter more to you than volume or search.
What usually decides it: whether this is a project or a habit.

Where Fundraise Insider is the better choice
- You do not want a subscription. Every plan they sell is a single payment, and we have no equivalent.
- You sell only into North America and the UK, in which case their narrower scope is focus rather than a gap.
- Hand-verification matters more to you than volume. They check contacts by hand; our email confidence is graded automatically.
- You want the back catalogue as a one-off purchase rather than paying monthly to keep access to it.
What we do not do
- One-time purchases. Everything we sell is a subscription.
- Hand-verify every contact. Our email confidence is scored, not manually checked.
- Guarantee a contact for every company, on either plan.
- Offer a lifetime archive licence.
Choosing between the two
Which is cheaper?
Depends how long you need it. Their Full Stack is $149 once; our Alerts plan is $99 a year. If you need funded companies for one campaign, theirs is plainly cheaper. If you need them every week indefinitely, the comparison turns on whether their "for life" feed keeps pace.
Do they cover the same companies?
Not quite. They state North America and the UK only. Our archive is global, which is an advantage if you sell into Europe or Asia and irrelevant if you do not. We hold 60,564 companies and 82,802 rounds in total.
Is their data better?
On one measure, plausibly yes. They say every contact is verified by hand. Ours is graded automatically by email confidence, with undeliverable addresses excluded. Hand-verification at their volume is a stronger claim than anything we make.
What do I get that a one-time purchase does not give me?
A searchable workspace and exports on Pro, global coverage, and a file that keeps arriving every Monday with named investors attached where we hold them. Whether that is worth a subscription is a real question and depends on how often you prospect.
Can I try FundedIQ first?
Yes, 14 days with a card, cancel in one click from any email. A one-time purchase has nothing equivalent, which cuts both ways: no trial, but also no renewal to forget about.
