Harmonic alternatives in 2026

The founders you back, described your way

A Harmonic search runs over the records Harmonic collected, the same records every other Harmonic customer filters. On SpecStream you write what you back: "US startups founded in the last 12 months by people who left OpenAI, Anthropic or Google DeepMind, with what they are building and any round raised". SpecStream reads the request back as parts you can edit, then searches the live web, reads each page and joins what it finds into one record per company. 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.

A price you see before you spend

Harmonic quotes each plan, and Prospeo estimates a minimum commitment of about $25,000 a year. SpecStream prints its 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, plus 5¢ for a founder's email. 1,000 companies with 5 facts cost $50.

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.

New companies reach your CRM on a schedule

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 or founder that fits a thesis as a structured row at 5¢, 15¢ or $1, with $10 of credit on sign-up and no card. A saved request reruns on your schedule with every change labeled.

Dealroom
