[### Altss vs Preqin

The legacy institutional database, now part of BlackRock

You are raising from family offices or global allocators and need current contacts, mandate signals, and the outreach workflow in one place.

+ 9,000+ family offices, verified from public sources](https://altss.com/vs/preqin) [### Altss vs PitchBook

The industry standard for deal data, owned by Morningstar

You are raising capital and need allocator intelligence: who the LPs are, what they are mandating now, and who to contact. Plus a 35M+ company dataset for relationship context.

+ Live 35M+ companies vs 12.7M+](https://altss.com/vs/pitchbook) [### Altss vs FINTRX

The US private-wealth standard: RIAs, broker-dealers, family offices

You are raising alternatives capital from institutional LPs or family offices outside the US. FINTRX covers neither institutional LPs nor GPs, so it cannot carry the raise on its own.

+ 9,000+ global family offices vs 4,500+](https://altss.com/vs/fintrx) [### Altss vs Dakota

Built by fundraisers; the US public pension and consultant channel

Your raise is global or family-office weighted. 9,000+ offices against Dakota's 3,500+, plus GP coverage, emerging-manager signals, and the outreach workflow included.

+ 9,000+ global family offices vs 3,500+](https://altss.com/vs/dakota) [### Altss vs PEI Group

Private-equity data, journalism, benchmarks and professional networks

You need family-office or institutional allocator research and want a native investor CRM, reviewed outreach and meeting context in the matching Fundraising OS configuration.

Category two

## Private-capital CRMs and deal systems

Fundraising OS includes a native investor CRM and reviewed outreach. Compare the included research, workflow and configuration requirements with dedicated CRM systems.

[### Altss vs Affinity

The AI-first private capital CRM, built on your own inbox

You need allocators your firm has never met. Affinity's graph is built from your own inbox, so it is empty on every family office and institutional LP nobody at the firm has contacted, which is most of a Fund I or Fund II target list.

+ Allocator data vs relationship CRM](https://altss.com/vs/affinity) [### Altss vs DealCloud

The enterprise deal system of record, part of Intapp

You are raising capital and need allocator coverage and signals that arrive with the product, with no implementation project, rather than a system that manages the data you bring.

How we compare

## Figures you can check, and the parts where we lose

Each comparison maps Altss to a named platform across coverage, methodology, pricing, workflow fit, and where the other one wins. Standard Altss subscription intelligence stays in-platform: no proprietary-data bulk export or raw-data API, and no standard external CRM sync. Public pages have separate machine-readable interfaces.

Read from the source, and dated Competitor figures are read from the competitor's own site or filings and carry the date we read them. Where a vendor publishes no number, we say so instead of estimating one.

We name where they win Every page has a section on what the other platform does better than Altss. Several of them end with a recommendation to buy the competitor.

Both prices, where both are published Altss pricing is on the pricing page. Competitor pricing is quoted only where the vendor publishes it or an independent third party reports it.
