Pitchbook vs Mergr/Low Cost Alternatives

I work for a family office PE firm and have been tasked with looking for a database with comps on the deals we close in the 10 - 50 Mil EV range. I've narrowed it down to Pitchbook and a low cost provider called Mergr. Are you all aware of any other low cost alternatives to Pitchbook? Their products look good but CFO is hesitant to spend more than 10k on a service.
