Where PitchBook is strong — and where we differ

Choosing an alternative should start with what the incumbent does well.

Where PitchBook is strong

  • Breadth of researched private-market coverage — deals, funds, LPs and investors in one place.
  • Valuation, deal-comp and fund-performance context that public records do not contain.
  • A long-established reference in many investment teams’ workflows.

Pick PitchBook if you need private-company financials, valuations, fund data or deal comps across the whole market.

Where MarketPrior differs

  • We answer one question per company — risk × upside — with every finding linked to the public document it came from.
  • The adverse side is first-class: sanctions, litigation, insolvency and officer history sit next to funding and traction.
  • Trigger alerts and continuous re-screening on a watchlist, not a one-off lookup.
  • Self-serve pricing from a single company report, plus an API and MCP server for your own tools.

What we don't have

The honest gaps

MarketPrior reads public records only. That keeps every finding checkable — and means some things are out of scope. See every source on the public-record data sources page.

  • No proprietary private-company financials, valuations or cap tables — only what appears in public filings.
  • No researched fund, LP or deal-comparables database.
