Hey guys,
My team is looking at alternatives to CapIQ. Did a demo with Pitchbook (www.pitchbook.com) recently. Was wondering if anyone uses it and has an opinion?
I do tons of public company comps for all our portfolio companies which is amazing with CapIQ and the excel plug-in. I also do a lot of precedent transaction research and try to keep on top of every deal in our industry, which is pretty tedious. Pitchbook seems like it eliminated a lot of the need to read through 5-10 different daily deal e-mails. I also feel like pitchbook may have more rich data on VC/PE deals.
Has anyone used both and have some pros and cons they can contribute comparing the two resources?
Thanks
Why doesn't everyone just used Bloomberg? Does it cost more or something?
Hi, I have used both and here is my feedback for comps. I'm busy now so I'll keep it short.
CapIQ data wise, wins bar none.
Catch-22 CapIQ has a lot less data when looking for transaction comps for private deals and more esoteric industries - here Pitchbook wins.
Also if you compare data on private transactions the #'s btwn capiq and pitchbook are completely different and there is no way to know which is right and which is wrong.
Can you provide more insight into Preqin vs. Pitchbook? Have you used both? Which would you recommend? Mainly for LP fundraising purpose.
You should really check out Preqin's products, (www.preqin.com) there is no data or information Pitchbook has that they don't in the alternative space.

I use both on a weekly basis. When it comes down to it, CapIQ is the go to for public comps, PitchBook is the go-to for private comps. Pitchbook recently updated its platform and has lot more deal info for valuation on private placements which CapIQ pretty much never has data for
Actually, has anyone used Pitchbook and Preqin? Those are the two products which should be properly compared as they play in the same space for private deals. Which would you consider better for the PE space?
Appreciate this is an old thread but PitchBook has added so much data recently. Preqin is great for Hedge Fund data but lacks transparency and accuracy on deals, financials etc. PitchBook has also included 69,000 Public companies and the Excel Plug-in essentially matches Cap IQ.
Does anyone have updated experiences on these guys?
Semi-Bumping out of interest as well. Particularly as it relates to Cap IQ vs Pitchbook. Like Pitchbook sent me an example of a tearsheet of a private company and when I compared what they had to what Cap IQ had, it wasn't anything materially different.
