The short version

What MarketPrior is — and isn't

Every comparison comes down to the same trade-off: public records you can check, instead of a larger proprietary dataset you have to trust.

What you get

  • Public records only — filings, company registers, court dockets, sanctions lists, news and patents.
  • A citation on every finding, linked to the source document with its retrieval date.
  • A risk × upside verdict per company, with the adverse side included.
  • Forecasts shown with their backtest calibration, never as a bare score.
  • Trigger alerts — Form D filings, officer changes, contract awards, hiring spikes.
  • A REST API and an MCP server, with the same data as the app.

What we don't have

  • No proprietary private-company financials, valuations or cap tables.
  • No analyst-written sector research or market maps.
  • A smaller contact database than dedicated sales-data vendors, and no org charts.
  • No built-in email sequencing — export CSV or use the API.

Price: $49 per company report, plans from $49/mo. See pricing.

Forecasts

Forecasts appear only with their backtest calibration. Read the method on how MarketPrior works.

Why compare MarketPrior with both investor and sales tools?
MarketPrior does two jobs on the same public-record data: cited diligence on a company or founder, and trigger-based leads (a Form D filing, a contract award, an officer change). Investors usually compare us with PitchBook, Crunchbase, Harmonic or CB Insights; go-to-market teams with Apollo, ZoomInfo or Clay.
Are these comparisons based on the other vendors’ current features?
No. They describe each vendor’s public positioning as of September 2026 — what it is known for — and we don't quote their prices or plan limits. Vendors change quickly, so check current details with them directly.
What does MarketPrior not do?
We read public records only, so there are no proprietary private-company financials, valuations or cap tables, no analyst-written research, and a smaller contact database than dedicated sales-data vendors. Each comparison page lists the specific gaps.
Can I use MarketPrior alongside the tool I already have?
Yes. Many teams keep a market-data or sales-data vendor and use MarketPrior for cited diligence and public-record triggers. The REST API and MCP server make it easy to call from your own tools and AI agents.

Compare on your own company.

Run a cited risk × upside verdict on a company you already know well, and judge the evidence yourself.
