Crunchbase API Alternative with Exact Revenue & SEC Filing Data
Crunchbase is excellent for funding rounds and startup tracking but provides estimated revenue ranges, not exact financial figures. For developers who need precise revenue numbers with primary source citations, there is a more accurate alternative.
Crunchbase API: $348–$999+/year
Feature comparison
| Crunchbase API | Company Financials | |

Why teams switch from Crunchbase API
- ✕Revenue shown as ranges (e.g., '$100M–$500M') not exact figures
- ✕No source citations to original filings
- ✕Limited to startup and growth-stage companies
- ✕API rate limits are strict on lower-tier plans
- ✕No employee count data from primary sources
