Crunchbase vs. Seamless.AI

Looking to create lists of target companies through the advanced search feature or the query builder if one is planning to reach out to the individuals listed in the profile. Looking for investment and company history information to inform sourcing or competitive landscape research.

If you need to build prospecting lists and then fill them with contacts and contact info, this is the best tool I've used in 20+ years. If you know how to use it, it is the only sourcing and contact info tool you need. I don't know what scenarios it isn't important for because all I do is sales with a ton of prospecting.

• Crunchbase has an easy-to-navigate user interface. The bar at the top of the screen that shows the different data points available on companies is particularly helpful for quick navigating.
• The ability to make and import lists and save searches is helpful for customizing the software to your particular needs.
• The web and mobile app data that Crunchbase offers is very helpful to gauge trends and interest in companies for diligence purposes.

• Refresh Rate of Seamless.ai is quite good. A quick way to know this is see if a lead has changed jobs recently on LinkedIn, how quickly does it get refreshed in Seamless
• Search Capabilities are decent. Not as strong as some of its competitors, but would do the job for sure.
• Exporting lead lists is a great feature and a boon for saving a lot of time. Direct CSVs can be exported and fed into the CRM.

• Notifications - Something similar to TweetDeck would be nice, so that when news breaks it could be an immediate fact.
• Honestly dont add too much because you don't want it to become more of a social tool with cluttered info, keep it straight to the point.

• Intent could have more options.
• More easily find company/corporate address.
• Provide agency of record (i.e., what promotional or ad agency the company uses).

They give standard answers. They are not a customer first business. I tried to cancel my subscription after using it for only 1 week as we found the information was outdated and not at all useful. But they would not cancel the year long subscription I mistakenly signed up for

Crunchbase is definitely bottom of the barrel in this space. At similar pricing models, all competitors I have tried have significantly bigger and more updated databases. Crunchbase may have been great sometime in the past, but they are not worth engaging now.

I selected Seamless because it gives you a lot of monthly credits in comparison to other platforms like Contact Out or Waalaxy; the only thing that, again, I repeat, they could get a better quality when it comes to the accuracy of their data and emails because a lot of them get bounced.

• Crunchbase has been great and given us a lot of new companies to go after that have received funding and turned into great meetings. We do not pay a ton, so the ROI is great.
• We have nothing but positive results using Crunchbase and rely on it heavily for prospecting.
• It might add more value if we get a more expensive or advanced version.
