On SpecStream you write it as you would say it: "hospitals in Texas with emergency services, with the owner, the star rating and the CEO", or "nursing home chains with ten or more homes in the Midwest, with the fines of the last three years", or "orthopedic device makers with a 510(k) clearance this year". SpecStream reads the request back as parts you can edit, the conditions every row must meet and the facts to bring back, then returns one record per provider or company. ### A price on the page, with no seats Definitive Healthcare builds a quote from products, licenses and add-ons, and Vendr reports that the median buyer pays $50,000 a year. SpecStream has no seats and no quote to wait for. Sales, marketing and your agents spend from one balance at the same rates: 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. 300 providers with 15 facts each cost $45, and every request shows the most it can cost before it runs. ### Hospitals, nursing homes and device makers, from the official source SpecStream reads Medicare, FDA and NPI records from the official source. On November 12, 2026, [specstream.ai/data/hospitals](https://specstream.ai/data/hospitals?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=definitive-healthcare) showed 5,435 US hospitals, 4,501 of them with emergency services, with star ratings and owners. [Nursing homes](https://specstream.ai/data/nursing-homes?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=definitive-healthcare) showed 14,686 facilities with 1,567,009 beds, [medical device manufacturers](https://specstream.ai/data/medical-devices?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=definitive-healthcare) 25,781 FDA registered establishments in 103 countries, [drug companies](https://specstream.ai/data/drug-companies?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=definitive-healthcare) 6,862 labelers, and [clinical trials](https://specstream.ai/data/clinical-trials?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=definitive-healthcare) 95,974 studies posted since November 2024. The full hospital list costs $134.35. Ask for your own cut of any of them, and add the facts the register does not print, such as the executives and the main phone. The search under every request leads the public benchmarks: SimpleQA Verified, 97.9 F-score on all 1,000 official questions (978 correct), and WideSearch, 64.0 item F1 and 43.4 row F1 on all 200 official tasks. The Extract API scores 0.908 F1 on WCXB. The scores and their method are on [benchmarks](https://specstream.ai/benchmarks?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=definitive-healthcare). ### What each one holds on claims Definitive Healthcare sells two claims datasets, Atlas All-Payor Claims and Atlas Prescription Claims, with billions of de-identified claims. SpecStream holds no patient claims. It returns what a sales or market team asks about an account: who owns it, how Medicare rates it, which penalties it paid, which devices its maker cleared with the FDA, which providers registered this year, and who runs it today. Each row carries the source URL and the read time of every value. ### Every provider is rechecked on your schedule Save the request and it reruns hourly to yearly. Each provider comes back labeled changed, unchanged or no longer matching, and new matches arrive in Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Attio, Google Sheets, Slack, Teams or a signed webhook. A changed or new row costs half its rate and an unchanged row costs 1¢, so rechecking 300 providers that did not change costs $3. ## Other Definitive Healthcare alternatives ### SpecStream The live web data engine for teams and agents. Every hospital, practice or healthcare company you describe arrives as a structured row at 5¢, 15¢ or $1, priced before the run, rechecked on your schedule and delivered to your CRM, sheet or agent. New accounts get $10 of credit, no card. ### Komodo Health A healthcare data platform built on its Healthcare Map, which it counts at 1 trillion+ linked records and 330M+ de-identified patients, refreshed daily. SpecStream returns the providers and companies you describe as rows, and 300 providers with 15 facts each cost $45. ### Trilliant Health Healthcare market analytics on claims for 300M+ Americans across inpatient and outpatient settings, with market share and provider referrals. SpecStream prints its rates, 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a delivered row, and quotes each request before it runs. ### CarePrecise A US provider database you download: 9.4 million provider records, including more than 1.2 million physician records. The database starts at $669 and the Platinum data and software bundle costs $999. A SpecStream request returns only the providers that meet your conditions, with the facts you name on each row, from 5¢ a row. ## How to switch from Definitive Healthcare Write the providers you sell to in plain words, in place of the searches you run today. Or import your account list, as a CSV, Excel file, Google Sheet or Airtable base of up to 20,000 rows, and SpecStream fills in or checks each row. Sign up and you get $10 of credit, no card. At 15¢ a row, that is 66 providers with up to 15 facts each. Or send the request from code. This call spends nothing: the `402` reply shows how SpecStream read the request, the columns and the most it can cost. ``` curl -i https://api.specstream.ai/v1/agent/lists \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"request": "Hospitals in Texas with emergency services, with the owner or health system, the Medicare star rating, the CEO and the main phone", "count": 25}' ``` Approve that maximum by card through Stripe's Link agent wallet, or in USDC, and you pay for the rows found. On an account, your agent uses the MCP server at `https://api.specstream.ai/mcp` and your team uses the workspace, from the same balance. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does Definitive Healthcare cost?
