On SpecStream you write the companies you need and the facts each row must carry, such as "US software companies with 200 to 1,000 employees, with the website, headquarters, founding year and company type". Deep Search finds every match on the live web, joins facts from many sites into one record per company, and shows the page and the time each value was read. ### No $250 minimum Bright Data's smallest dataset order is $250. A company row with up to 15 facts costs 15¢ on SpecStream, so 500 companies with 8 facts each cost $75, and a run that finds 300 costs $45. You start with $10 of credit on sign-up, no card, and a top-up starts at $10 and never expires. Rows you already own are never charged again. ### A custom dataset, priced before it runs Bright Data builds custom datasets on its automatic dataset creation platform and publishes no price for them. On SpecStream every request is a custom dataset: you see how it was read, as conditions and facts you can edit, and the most it can cost, before anything runs. Duplicates, rows a page contradicts and a run that finds nothing are not charged. ### Scheduled refresh, with every change labeled Bright Data delivers dataset updates on a schedule and lets you take only New Records or Updated Records. A saved SpecStream request reruns hourly to yearly, and each row comes back labeled changed, unchanged or no longer matching. A changed or new row costs half its rate (3¢, 8¢ or 50¢), and an unchanged row costs 1¢. New matches land in Slack, email, a sheet, your CRM or a [signed webhook](https://specstream.ai/docs/webhooks?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=glassdoor-company-data). ### Company data we already hold SpecStream also holds datasets of its own, read every morning: every company that filed a Form D since 2023 with its filing history, nearly 2 million US nonprofits, open federal contracts and grants, and local businesses, at [specstream.ai/data](https://specstream.ai/data?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=glassdoor-company-data). Signals such as funding rounds, new executives and layoffs are at [specstream.ai/signals](https://specstream.ai/signals?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=glassdoor-company-data). ## Other places to buy Glassdoor company data ### Apify Glassdoor Company Overview Scraper A community Actor on the Apify Store that takes company URLs or employer ID numbers and returns one record per company, priced from $2.00 per 1,000 results.
