Taken from crunchbase.com/buy/select-product in October 2026. Pro and Business both include full private company profiles, funding data, people and contacts, growth and heat scores, funding and acquisition forecasts, AI search, the Chrome extension and use from ChatGPT and Claude through Crunchbase's MCP connector. Business gets more AI queries and profile views than Pro; Crunchbase does not publish the exact quotas.
How much is Crunchbase Pro?
Crunchbase Pro is $49 per month when you pay for a year up front, which is $588. That price is a first-year offer: the page shows it as 38 percent off a $79 per month annual rate, so plan for about $948 at renewal unless you negotiate. Paid month to month, Pro is $99, or $1,188 over a year. Both options start with a free trial.

| Billing | Per month | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| Annual, first year | $49 | $588 |
| Annual, list rate shown on the page | $79 | $948 |
| Monthly | $99 | $1,188 |
Pro is a one-seat plan. Two analysts on Pro means two subscriptions, and once you want shared lists, CRM sync or SSO, Crunchbase moves you to Business.
Crunchbase Business and Crunchbase API pricing
Business starts at $199 per month billed annually, so at least $2,388 a year, and the final number depends on seats and usage. It adds CRM sync, 5,000 export rows a month, unlimited lists, SSO and team management. Contract and security review and a dedicated customer success manager come with qualifying contracts.
Crunchbase API pricing is not public. API access, bulk exports and delivery to a data warehouse are sold as Custom Data Solutions, so you request a quote and the price follows the data you license, the call volume and whether you need historical signals. Vendr estimates enterprise data deals at $50,000 a year and up, and advises agreeing API caps and overage rates before signing, because overages can add 20 to 40 percent.
What companies really pay for Crunchbase
List prices tell you what one seat costs. Contract data shows what teams pay once seats, exports and data access are added.

| Source | What it measures | Figure |
|---|---|---|
| Vendr | Median annual contract, 71 purchases | $20,000 per year |
| Vendr | Range of reported contracts | $4,440 to $51,377 per year |
| Vendr | Average saving buyers negotiated | 21.41 percent |
| SpendHound | Average spend, companies with 50 to 1,000 employees (92 customers) | $3,187 per year |
| SpendHound | Average spend, companies with 1,000+ employees (12 customers) | $20,432 per year |
Vendr works from purchases it negotiated, which makes it the most reliable public source for team and enterprise deals. SpendHound's SMB average is close to two or three Pro seats, which matches what small teams tend to buy. SpendHound also reports SMB spend up about 21 percent year over year, so do not budget from an old quote.
Costs that are not on the pricing page
- The Pro renewal step from $49 to the $79 annual rate after the first year.
- Extra seats added mid-contract, usually at list price.
- Export limits: 2,000 rows a month on Pro runs out fast if you build prospect lists every week.
- API overages on data contracts, plus renewal uplifts that Vendr puts at 5 to 10 percent.
- Integration work if you want Crunchbase data inside a CRM or warehouse beyond the standard connectors.
How to get a better Crunchbase price
Start talks 60 to 90 days before you need the contract, and time the signature for the end of a quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31). Ask for the first-year Pro rate to carry over at renewal, or for a two-year term in exchange for a lock. On Business, anchor on your budget, not the starting price, and get API caps and overage rates in writing. Vendr's buyers saved about 21 percent on average, so a quote with no discount is a starting point.
Is Crunchbase worth it for tracking competitors?
Crunchbase is good at one part of competitor research: who raised money, who bought whom, who is growing, and which companies look like yours. Its "competitors and similar companies" insight is useful when you map a market. What it does not do is watch what a known rival changes on its own pages.

| Question about a rival | Crunchbase | Competitor monitoring |
|---|---|---|
| Did they raise a round or get acquired? | Yes, with dates and investors | No, that is Crunchbase's job |
| Who are the new players in my space? | Yes, through search and similar companies | No |
| Did they raise prices or add a plan this week? | No | Yes, same day |
| Did they publish a comparison page against us? | No | Yes |
| What ads are they running right now? | No | Yes, Google and Meta |
| Is their G2 rating dropping? | No | Yes |
So the honest answer depends on the job. For prospecting, fundraising research or market maps, Pro at $588 for the first year is good value. For knowing what 5 to 40 rivals change each week, a competitor tracker covers what Crunchbase does not, from $594 a year. Many teams keep one Pro seat for funding news and put rival pages, prices and ads into competitor alerts.
Cheaper ways to cover what you need Crunchbase for
- Funding and acquisition news on a few rivals: one Crunchbase Pro seat, $588 for the first year.
- Rival prices, plans, pages, ads and reviews: Competitors Starter at $594 a year for 5 rivals, Growth at $1,494 a year for 15.
- Traffic estimates for rival sites: see our breakdown of Similarweb pricing before you buy a second data tool.
- Prospect lists for outbound: if the goal is cold email, a sales tool with its own contact data and personalized cold email sequences usually replaces Business seats bought only for exports.
