How much does your group pay for a CapIQ and/or Factset subscription?
Looking for total cost vs number of seats.
Thanks ~






i think capiq is something
i think capiq is something like 3 accounts minimum at about 10-15k per account

I think ours was like 3 accounts for $25k
The Best Way To Get CapIq
If you're currently at a decent tier-one or Ivy, they usually subscribe to CapIq - also if you're an alum you're probably able to maintain access to the database.
Price points
Thanks Vandeja
Others: I'm trying to get price points before talking to them. Evidently data they don't want getting out.
If our school doesn't
If our school doesn't subscribe to Capital IQ, is there any other way of having a go on it? Looks like the trial version on their website is for 'companies'.
10-15k per account sounds
10-15k per account sounds pricey. I bet you it gets cheaper the more you get.
Another option is FactSet - I'm pretty sure our subscription has a base fee of 25k (which includes 1 account) - each additional user account costs around 2k each. To get international data, beyond ADRs, you have to pay more. Something like 5-10k?
Instead of their data feed from Thomson, you should be able to get the new FactSet data which should be cheaper - Thomson was forced to sell FactSet a data-set for anti-trust reasons (after the Reuters buy-out)
The reason people can't get a
The reason people can't get a clear answer on price is because Capital IQ prices bases on firm type, firm size (AUM/Deal flow), how many licenses they want (analysts or seniors), regional location, configuration, use case and delivery of data (they have core products with bolt on portfolio tools and quant products). pricing changes quite a bit.
Send me a message if you want to dig in further.

Cap IQ is not good for private companies (venture backed) If you want info on that the only one i've seen worth anything is Dow Jones VentureSource http://www.dowjones.com/privatemarkets/venturesour....
Good Luck
VentureSource is the industry
VentureSource is the industry standard for private companies/venture capital, but comes at a price. http://www.venturesource.com
I've also seen VM Index which I believe is cheaper http://www.vmindex.com/
They all vary their pricing according to the client (size, number of seats, contract length) so it's hard to pin down the costs, but some of the bigger names sell packages which sometimes means you end up paying for data you don't need/want.
