Funding data, company events, market maps, and brand-trusted research.

Looking for a Crunchbase alternative for outbound? Here's how we differ.
Crunchbase answers what is this company? Vatengi answers who do I call and does their email work? We have firmographics and funding data — but we're not a market intelligence platform.
50 signup credits · Email reveal: 1 credit · Phone reveal: 3 credits · Starter from $39/mo
Market intelligence vs. contact reachability.
Vatengi's bet
Contact-level search, SMTP-verified reveals, and outbound workflow.
Use Crunchbase for research. Use Vatengi when you know the account and need the right person.
Three areas where we differ
Based on how our product is actually built — not a generic feature checklist.
1. Primary question
Crunchbase
What happened to this company?
Vatengi
Who works there and how do I reach them?
2. Data type
Crunchbase
Funding rounds, investors, news
Vatengi
People, emails, phones, job history
Honest caveat: We publish public company profiles with funding — but lighter than Crunchbase.
3. Workflow
Crunchbase
Research → export
Vatengi
Search → reveal → CRM → sequence
Stick with Crunchbase if
- —You need investment data and market maps.
Try Vatengi if
- ✓You already know the account and need to reach the right person.
Who Vatengi is generally not for
We'd rather tell you upfront than waste your trial credits.
- —You need a Chrome extension for two-click LinkedIn reveals — we're workspace-first today.
- —You need the largest global database and don't care how verification works under the hood.
- —You're a 500-seat enterprise buying through procurement with custom MSAs and dedicated CSMs.
- —You want cold email sending at scale as the core product — Instantly and SalesHandy own that layer.
- —You want to waterfall 15 enrichment APIs in a spreadsheet — Clay and Databar own that layer.
- —You need EU mobile numbers with GDPR packaging as the primary value — Cognism territory.
- ✓You're a 3–25 person agile outbound team bleeding time on bounced emails.
- ✓You want to search free and reveal on verified SMTP, not prepay for a black-box database.
- ✓You need lists, CRM push, job-change alerts, and account signals without five subscriptions.
- ✓You want monthly self-serve pricing starting at $39, not an annual enterprise commit.
