What do Dealroom users like and dislike?
Users rate it well, on a small sample. G2 lists Dealroom.co at 4.6 out of 5 from 27 reviews (G2). Summaries of those reviews praise the interface and data quality and name subscription cost for smaller teams as the main complaint (Angels Partners). Be careful when reading review sites: a separate M&A data room product called DealRoom shares the name, and several sites mix the 2.
Which Dealroom alternative is cheapest?
Crunchbase Pro and Tracxn are the cheapest paid options, both under $2,000 a year for 1 user. Crunchbase suits quick funding lookups and alerts; see Crunchbase alternatives for its gaps. Tracxn suits sector maps, especially outside the US and Europe; see Tracxn alternatives. Neither matches Dealroom's ecosystem reports for governments and cities.
What can you use for free?
Company registers. In the UK, Companies House publishes accounts, officers and people with significant control for free, which covers much of what you need on a UK startup; see how to research a UK company on Companies House. European listed companies file ESEF reports, and US startups file Form D notices on SEC EDGAR. These records are primary but raw, and they do not name investors in a round.
When should you keep Dealroom?
Keep Dealroom if your work centres on European startups, ecosystem mapping or reports for public bodies, and if 3 or more people use it each week. Its European coverage is the reason most teams buy it, and its government and city ecosystem work has few direct rivals. Keep it too if you rely on its funding round and investor data, which free registers do not carry. If only 1 person uses it, ask Dealroom whether the 3-seat minimum can be waived before you switch.
Where does Tamarly Intelligence fit?
Tamarly Intelligence is Tamarly's research platform on companies, funds, countries and markets, built from official filings and open data. It builds company pages from free, open sources, including SEC EDGAR, European ESEF filings, GLEIF and UK Companies House, and every figure links to the filing or record it came from. When Tamarly does not cover a company it says so, and on Level 2 and above a reader can ask Tamarly to research a company and build a sourced profile.
It does not replace Dealroom's funding database: Tamarly shows no investor names on private rounds and no valuations. Plans run from Free to Level 3 at $399 a month, monthly, with no seat minimum.
