PitchBook is the gold standard for PE and M&A data, but its $20,000+ annual price locks out most angels and small funds. Here are 8 PitchBook alternatives that deliver 80% of the value at 10% of the cost.
GitDealFlow is the strongest alternative for early-stage VC research. Where PitchBook tracks confirmed deals, GitDealFlow predicts them — you see engineering momentum 3-6 weeks before a fundraise announcement.
Other alternatives: Crunchbase (broader startup coverage at lower cost), Tracxn (emerging markets), Dealroom (Europe), CB Insights (market research), Grata (middle market), Magnitt (MENA), and SourceScrub (private company scraping).
