Looking for a Crunchbase
alternative?
Crunchbase is a private company database with a free tier and Pro, Business and Enterprise paid tiers. It gives you company profiles, funding history and a search interface. The alternative that returns a scored investment view instead of a raw profile is Unicorn Screener, a $9-per-report unicorn-potential score across founders, traction, market and product in 4 minutes.
Why people pick Unicorn Screener over Crunchbase
A score, not a profile
Crunchbase tells you a startup raised a Series A. Unicorn Screener tells you whether the startup has the founder background, traction trajectory, market and execution velocity to actually become a unicorn.
Reads sources, not just profiles
Crunchbase shows you a profile and a list of links. Unicorn Screener has AI agents that read public sources directly and synthesize the signals into one 100-point view, without you opening a single tab.
$9 per report, no subscription tier puzzle
Crunchbase Pro and Business gate the most useful filters and exports behind monthly subscriptions. Unicorn Screener has one price, $9 per report, first one free.
