PitchBook will not tell you the price. Here is ours, and what you give up.
PitchBook is the best private-markets research product in this comparison and it is not close. It is also a five-figure annual contract you cannot buy without a sales call. If what you actually needed was who raised last week and who to email there, that is a different and much cheaper problem.

The quote wall, in their words
“Pricing options vary depending on how many seats you need and your firm type.”
There is nothing sinister about that: enterprise research is genuinely priced per firm. It does mean you cannot compare it to anything without booking a call first, which is why third parties publish benchmarks. The most useful is Vendr's, drawn from anonymised real contracts, and it is quoted in full at the foot of this page.
The short answer
Your job is outbound or recruiting, not diligence. You want this week's funded companies with a founder email attached, you want it for $19 a month, and you want to start today without talking to anyone.
You are an investment professional. You need valuations, fund performance, cap tables, comparables or M&A history, and the data has to hold up in a process. Nothing on this site replaces that.
What usually decides it: whether anyone will ever ask you to defend a number in a meeting. If yes, buy PitchBook.

Where PitchBook is the better choice
- You are an investment professional and the data has to stand up in a diligence process. PitchBook employs analysts to refine it; we do not.
- You need valuations, cap tables, fund performance, LP commitments or comparables. We hold none of that.
- You need public-market and M&A context in the same tool as private rounds.
- Your firm can absorb a five-figure annual contract and wants a named account team behind it.
What we do not do
- Valuations, cap tables, fund returns or LP data.
- Analyst research notes or curated industry reports.
- An Excel plug-in, a PowerPoint plug-in or a terminal-style desktop app.
- Any public-market or M&A coverage.
What people ask after the quote lands
How much does PitchBook actually cost?
They do not publish it. Their pricing page is a lead form, and their own FAQ says pricing "varies depending on how many seats you need and your firm type". Vendr, which aggregates anonymised real contracts, puts the median at about $31,750 a year with an observed range of $20,000 to $122,500.
Is FundedIQ a replacement for PitchBook?
For most PitchBook use cases, no, and we would rather say that plainly. If you need valuations, cap tables, fund performance or M&A comparables, nothing here replaces it. If you bought PitchBook mainly to see who raised recently and reach them, that is a much smaller job and it is the one we do.
What does FundedIQ cost by comparison?
$19 a month for the weekly file, $99 a month for the full archive with search and exports. Annual is $99 and $699. Per account, not per seat, and the price is on the pricing page.
What is that per company?
Pro works out at about 1.2c per company across the 60,564 in the archive. Alerts works out at roughly 0.8c per company across a year of weekly issues.
Do you have PitchBook-quality data?
No. PitchBook employs analysts to refine its dataset and we do not, and it would be dishonest to imply otherwise. What we do have is recency and contactability on newly funded companies, and a price that does not require a procurement process.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. 14 days, card required, cancel in one click from any email. The trial is capped rather than crippled: the Alerts trial covers two weekly issues at 50 rows each.
