Dealroom alternatives in 2026

Your thesis is the request

A Dealroom search starts from the fields Dealroom collected. On SpecStream you write the thesis the way you would brief an associate: "seed and Series A climate software startups in Germany, France and the Nordics founded since 2021, with the founders, the last round and its lead investor". SpecStream reads the request back as parts you can edit, the conditions every row must meet and the facts to bring back, before anything runs. A company that fails one of your conditions is not delivered and not billed.

Companies that raised this week

In the week of November 2, 2026, 494 operating companies filed a Form D reporting $29.51 billion sold. SpecStream reads each filing from SEC EDGAR the day it is filed, at specstream.ai/data/form-d, so a company that just raised reaches you that week. Ask for your own cut: one state, one industry, or first raises above an amount.

You pay for rows, with no seats and no export credits

Ten Dealroom Premium seats cost €30,000 a year, paid up front, and each seat exports within its credits. SpecStream bills the rows that meet your request: 5¢ for a row with up to 5 facts, 15¢ for up to 15 facts and one set of related records, and $1 for a deep row with no limit. 1,000 companies with 5 facts cost $50, and a founder's email adds 5¢ a row. Exporting a delivered row costs nothing, for anyone on your team.

Every request gets a quote of the most it can cost, good for 30 minutes. Nothing runs until you approve it, the charge never goes past that amount, and whatever the run does not use goes back to your balance. A run that finds nothing costs nothing.

The search behind every row leads two public benchmarks

SpecStream's search API scores 97.9 F-score on SimpleQA Verified, on all 1,000 official questions (978 correct), and 64.0 item F1 and 43.4 row F1 on WideSearch, on all 200 official tasks. The scores and the method are on benchmarks.

When a tracked company moves

Save the request and it reruns hourly to yearly. Each row comes back labeled changed, unchanged or no longer matching, a changed or new row costs half its rate and an unchanged row costs 1¢. New matches and changes land in Affinity, HubSpot, Salesforce, Sheets, Slack or Teams with no code, or in your agent through the MCP server. Rows you already own are never charged again.

SpecStream

The live web data engine for teams and agents. One request in plain words returns every company that fits a thesis as a structured row at 5¢, 15¢ or $1, with $10 of credit on sign-up and no card. It also fills in a list you bring and reruns on a schedule with every change labeled.

PitchBook

A database of deals, funds and contacts sold by annual contract. Multiples reports users paying $25,000 to $40,000 a year for standard team licenses, with a 2 to 3 seat minimum (August 2026). On SpecStream 1,000 companies with 5 facts cost $50, quoted before the run starts.

Tracxn

A private company database listing 8.4M+ companies and 2M+ funding rounds. Its free Lite plan has strict usage limits, exports require credits, and Premium is sold through sales. SpecStream exports every delivered row at no cost.

Harmonic

A startup database that tracks 40 million companies, with every plan behind a Get pricing button. Prospeo estimates a minimum commitment of about $25,000 a year (2026). SpecStream finds companies on the live web by the conditions you write and bills only the rows it delivers.
