Crunchbase vs D&B Hoovers (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Crunchbase if

• Fits if you research startups, funding and investors
• Works for sellers who time outreach to a funding round

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want contact details, as the pages read don't mention direct emails or phones
• Tight if you export a lot: 2,000 rows a month on Pro and 5,000 on Business
• Skip it if you want a price, as none is shown and Business is by sales only
• Watch out: the trial's length and terms aren't stated

Pick D&B Hoovers if

• Fits if you're an enterprise team that already trusts D&B data
• Works for account prioritization on top of company records

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price, because the page offers only a trial request and a phone number
• Not for you if you want contact counts, as none are given

• Watch out: plans, seats and credit limits aren't listed anywhere we read
