What is Crunchbase?
Crunchbase is an all-in-one prospecting solution that helps users discover innovative companies, connect with the people behind them, and uncover new opportunities — despite today’s tumultuous economic climate. Crunchbase offers three plans — Crunchbase Starter, Crunchbase Pro and Crunchbase Enterprise — to help individuals and teams with prospecting and market research.
“Crunchbase saves a ton of time, saves headaches, and makes sure that we are reaching out to the right people with the right message. It’s the only solution I’ve used that really helps you prospect all in one place.”
– Kyle Rasmussen, Head of Revenue, Chat Metrics
A quick look at Crunchbase’s plans
Choosing which of Crunchbase’s plans best suits you (or your team) doesn’t need to be challenging. We’ve summarized each of the key features included in Crunchbase Starter, Pro and Enterprise to help you identify the solution that makes the most sense for you.
Crunchbase Starter
If you’re a company founder, market researcher or job seeker, you can use Crunchbase Starter to track and monitor the companies you care about most. Crunchbase Starter is an effective choice to gain access to:
- Advanced search: Leverage unlimited search filters to find company information, funding data and select partner data that fit your criteria.
- Custom lists with automatic updates: Create custom lists to keep track of companies of interest and receive automatic updates to monitor company activity (such as new funding rounds) and stay up-to-date in today’s fast-changing circumstances.
- Comprehensive company data: Explore company profiles and learn about recent news and activity, firmographic information, layoffs reported, funding and partner data.
Crunchbase Pro
Crunchbase Pro is a solution for individual customers and small teams (e.g., sales teams, investors and entrepreneurs) who want to find and close deals through automated prospecting, personalized insights and key integrations with sales tools. While Crunchbase Starter is great for tracking and monitoring, Crunchbase Pro is a prospecting tool that you can use to move leads through the pipeline and close deals. It’s a good option for people who are looking to reduce their tech stack and want to be able to find, qualify, track and engage with prospects in one place.
- Verified contact data: Access contact data that is refreshed regularly, reviewed by our team of data experts, and monitored for compliance with industry regulations. Crunchbase Pro customers also have access to 10 free contacts per month and the option to purchase up to 500 additional contacts.
- Engagement suite: Send decision-makers pre-built emails with customizable templates and data points that include snippets and variables that integrate intelligent, proprietary business insights about prospects directly from Crunchbase.
- Chrome extension: Get full access to Crunchbase’s Chrome extension to get context on accounts you’re researching across the web.
- Salesforce and HubSpot integrations: Push new accounts and contacts from Crunchbase to Salesforce and HubSpot. Easily identify companies that are already in Salesforce and HubSpot to eliminate redundancy without switching platforms.
- Outreach integration: Streamline prospecting and push contacts to Outreach, or assign contacts to existing Outreach sequences, directly from Crunchbase.
- Administrative features: Drive team wins with operational efficiencies like seat management, single sign-on and group invoicing.
- Export data: Export search results as a CSV (5k rows/month).
- Similar companies: Crunchbase profiles now have a new ‘similar companies’ tab that leverages our unique machine-learning model to automatically surface similar accounts and possible competitors for the profile you’re viewing.

Crunchbase Enterprise
Crunchbase Enterprise is an all-in-one prospecting software built for sales teams that want to scale. This plan includes all the benefits you get with Starter and Pro, plus optimized workflows, more contacts, richer integration options and dedicated support. As a team, you can use Enterprise to target companies at scale, identify decision-makers and move deals forward—all in one platform:
- Dedicated customer success manager: Access hands-on support from a dedicated customer success manager who can assist in answering any questions a team might have when navigating the platform.
