Prompt
Are there any company intelligence tools that focus on exportable datasets for sourcing and market research?
Latest observation
Yes. There are several company intelligence tools that are especially useful if your priority is exportable datasets for sourcing, supplier discovery, and market research rather than just web search or firmographic profiles.
Tools to consider
1. Dun & Bradstreet Hoovers / D&B Data Cloud
- Strong for company records, firmographics, and risk data
- Exports are available through certain plans and APIs
- Good for building supplier lists and market maps
2. ZoomInfo
- Very popular for company/contact intelligence
- Good export options and CRM integrations
- More sales-oriented, but useful for market research if you need company datasets
3. Apollo
- Offers company and contact data with export capabilities
- Often used for prospecting, but can be repurposed for sourcing research
- Lower cost than some enterprise tools
4. Clearbit
- Useful for enrichment and company data
- Better for API-based workflows and dataset building
- Good if you want to enrich your own lists
5. Crunchbase
- Strong for company metadata, funding, industries, and growth signals
- Exports/API access available on higher tiers
- Better for market research than direct sourcing
6. PitchBook
- Excellent for private market intelligence
- Data exports are available, but it’s premium-priced
- Useful for deep market and competitive analysis
7. FactSet / S&P Capital IQ
- Best for financial and public company data

8. ImportYeti

9. Panjiva

10. Tracer / Tealbook / SourceDay / Supplyframe

- Export capabilities vary by vendor and plan
If your goal is specifically exportable datasets, look for these features:
- Bulk export to CSV/XLSX
- API access
- Data enrichment endpoints
- Saved searches / list building
- Industry, location, and size filters
- Trade/import data
- Supplier and parent/subsidiary hierarchies
Best picks by use case
- General company datasets: Crunchbase, D&B, Apollo
- Sourcing / supplier discovery: Panjiva, ImportYeti, D&B
- Private company / market mapping: PitchBook, Crunchbase
- Sales-style company enrichment: Clearbit, ZoomInfo
If you want, I can also give you a shortlist by budget, or a comparison table focused on export format, API access, and sourcing usefulness.
