Capital IQ Pro: $13,000-$30,000 per user per year. LSEG Workspace: $12,000-$24,000 per user per year, by content set. Bloomberg: $31,980 single seat, $28,320 on multi-seat contracts, two-year minimum, with ~6.5% renewal increases reported since 2025. Preqin: $15,000-$75,000+ by asset-class scope, with API/feed access reported to add 30-60%. Morningstar Direct: ~$17,000 for the first user. PitchBook: $25,000-$40,000/year standard team licenses; enterprise packages with API and Excel access reported at $70,000+. Mergermarket: from ~$30,000 per year. Tracxn: single-user plans listed around $550/month, team licenses reported at $6,500-$15,000/year. Gain.pro: from ~$15,000 per year, annual licenses only. CB Insights: $40,000-$100,000 per team per year. Specter: pricing undisclosed, with API access metered in credits. Grata: $15,000-$40,000 per year. Harmonic: $10,000-$30,000 per year, scoped to API usage. Some ranges may seem wide due to contracts quoted on number of seats and modules. Price increase on renewal seems to be standard across many providers, and API access is almost always a separate line item. ## Costs beyond the license Baseline pricing is not everything to look at when choosing a financial data provider. Procurement time: most enterprise platforms take weeks to months from first contact to working access. Self-serve platforms like Multiples take minutes. This might be an issue if you need data access quickly. Lock-in mechanics: annual or multi-year terms with auto-renewal windows are standard with providers like PitchBook or FactSet. A missed cancellation window rolls the contract a year. Consider a more subscription-friendly platform if you want to avoid a hard lock-in. ## FAQ ### How much does PitchBook cost per year?
