Tracxn alternatives in 2026

Your thesis is the request

Tracxn organizes companies into its own sectors and business models. On SpecStream you write the thesis the way you would brief an associate: "seed and Series A B2B software startups in India and Southeast Asia that raised in 2026, with the investors and a founder email", or "founder-owned logistics software companies in Germany with 50 to 200 employees". SpecStream reads the request back as parts you can edit, the conditions every row must meet and the facts to bring back. A company that fails one of your conditions is not delivered and not billed.

New raises, read every week

In the week of November 2, 2026, 494 operating companies filed a Form D reporting $29.51 billion sold, as specstream.ai/data/form-d showed when read on November 9, 2026. SpecStream reads each filing from SEC EDGAR. Ask for your own cut: one state, one industry, or first raises above an amount, and each company comes back with its filing, its own site and the facts you name.

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.

Every row is yours, with no credits

On Tracxn an export spends credits: 200 a month on Lite, 1,000 on Premium, and more on request. 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, and exporting them costs nothing. 1,000 companies with 5 facts cost $50, and every request gets a quote of the most it can cost before it runs.

The whole deal team works from one balance

Tracxn asks for a separate subscription for each user and flags shared logins. SpecStream has no seats: analysts, partners and your agents spend from one balance at the same rates, and the rows go to Affinity, HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio, Sheets, Slack or Teams with no code, or to your agent through the MCP server at https://api.specstream.ai/mcp.

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¢. 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, priced before the run, rechecked on your schedule and delivered to your CRM or agent. New accounts get $10 of credit, no card.

CB Insights

A market intelligence terminal sold by quote. Its Dealmaker page prints a User License at $5,000 a year and Team Access at $20,400 a year. On SpecStream 1,000 companies with 5 facts cost $50, quoted before the run starts.
