Altss vs DealCloud
DealCloud, part of Intapp, is the enterprise system of record for private capital: deal pipeline, fundraising modules, compliance, and a data model configured to your firm. Altss is an OSINT-native allocator-intelligence platform: verified family office and institutional LP data, with a CRM, AI-assisted outreach, a research copilot, and a notetaker built in. DealCloud is the platform your firm configures. Altss is the data your firm does not have. This page covers where each wins, honestly.
The short answer
Choose Altss when
You need the allocator data itself, and you need it working this quarter. Altss arrives with 9,000+ family offices and 150,000+ LP entities and no configuration project.
Choose DealCloud when
You are standardising deal, compliance and relationship workflow across a large multi-strategy firm and need a data model shaped to how you actually operate. Altss covers a fundraising pipeline and stops there.

Best for
- Altss
- Finding and reaching allocators; emerging and mid-market managers raising capital
- DealCloud
- Large firms standardising deal, relationship, and compliance workflow across teams
DealCloud and Intapp figures come from Intapp's own reporting and independent third-party pricing coverage, checked August 6, 2026. Intapp does not publish DealCloud list pricing. Altss figures reflect internal database counts as of August 2026.
DealCloud and Altss solve adjacent problems and are frequently bought together. DealCloud is where a large firm standardises its deal pipeline, relationship records, and compliance workflow, configured to how that firm works. It holds the data you put into it. Altss supplies data you do not have: 9,000+ family offices and 150,000+ institutional LP entities collected from the public record, with the outreach workflow to act on it. If you need one system of record across a 200-person firm, that is DealCloud. If you need to know which allocators to call this quarter, that is Altss.

#What is Altss?
Altss is an OSINT-native allocator-intelligence platform built for managers raising capital in alternative assets. The data comes from the public record: SEC filings (Form ADV, Form D, 13F), state pension CAFRs, Form 990 and 990-PF for foundations, endowment annual reports, sovereign wealth fund disclosures, verified corporate registries, and published allocator statements. That produces verified profiles of 9,000+ family offices and 150,000+ institutional LP entities worldwide3.
The workflow sits on the same data: a built-in CRM and pipeline, AI-assisted outreach, a research copilot, an inbox with a meeting notetaker, Scouter for investor discovery, events and conference intelligence, and a relationship graph. Altss also runs a live 35M+ company dataset.
The design constraint that matters most in this comparison: Altss is a fixed product. There is no configuration project, no professional services engagement, and no data model to design. A new user logs in and works. That is an advantage for a ten-person IR team and a limitation for a firm that needs its own object model across deals, funds, compliance, and billing.
Altss is UI-only. No CSV export, no public API, no CRM sync. DealCloud is an integration platform by nature, so this difference is structural rather than incidental.
#What ships in the platform today
Every capability below is live for customers today. They sit in two places: the Investor Intelligence plans, and Altss Fundraising OS, which adds the fundraising and IR workflow on top. Roadmap items are named as roadmap on the platform page, never here.
Included in every Investor Intelligence plan
From $15,000/year, or $12,000 for qualifying emerging managers
Investor research and discovery
Search and filter the allocator universe by geography, strategy, AUM, mandate and signal. Verified decision-makers and contacts on every profile.
AI-assisted research
Ask in plain language across the dataset. "Which Miami family offices backed a first-time healthcare manager" returns a filtered, sourced answer rather than keyword matches.
Agentic knowledge base
A knowledge layer that works the corpus for you: follows the question across filings, registries and profiles, and returns an answer with its evidence attached.
Allocator signals and mandates
Mandate shifts, organizational changes, personnel moves and fund launches, surfaced as they become publicly observable.
Evidence-backed profiles
Every record traces to a public source with a verification timestamp, so a claim about an allocator can be checked against a filing rather than trusted.
Scouter
Investor discovery and targeting: surface allocators whose current mandate matches the fund you are raising, not the one you raised last time.
LP–GP Connect
Present your fund directly to allocators inside the platform, live since February 2026.
Which family offices backed a first-time healthcare manager in the last 18 months?
Single family office · Boston
Single family office · Geneva
Multi-family office · Toronto
Every row carries the public source it was derived from.
Altss Fundraising OS
From $35,000/year, includes Global Investor Intelligence
Investor CRM and pipeline
Track every allocator conversation in-platform. Stages, owners, notes, and collision detection so two partners never work the same LP.
AI-assisted outreach
Warm-path orchestration and sequenced follow-ups, drafted against the allocator's actual mandate. You send from your own mailbox; nothing goes out unreviewed.
Relationship and warm-path mapping
LPs, GPs, companies and the people who move between them, derived from filings and transactions rather than from anyone's inbox.
Meeting and interaction intelligence
An inbox and meeting notetaker that files notes against the firm and the person automatically, so the record of a conversation lives with the allocator it concerns.
Events and conference intelligence
Who is attending, who is speaking, and which of them is actively allocating, before you book the flight.
Team collaboration and analytics
Shared pipeline across the IR team, with fundraising analytics and prioritization on top of the same allocator data.

Warm path
Derived from a filed co-investment, not an inbox
Altss is UI-only: no CSV export, no public API, and no external CRM sync. That is a deliberate product decision, and it is stated on every comparison on this site.
#What is DealCloud?
DealCloud is a deal and relationship management platform for private capital, acquired by Intapp in 2018 and now part of a broader suite spanning deal management, compliance, time and billing, and marketing and business development. Its defining characteristic is configurability: the data model, pipelines, reports, and workflows are shaped to how a specific firm operates.
Per Intapp's own reporting and independent coverage, checked August 6, 202612:
- 1,100+ client firms across professional and financial services1
- Intapp cloud ARR above $400M in Q1 FY20261
- Coverage of the full deal lifecycle, from sourcing through execution1
- Compliance, time and billing modules alongside the CRM1
- Pricing not published; independent reporting puts annual software cost commonly in the low six figures, reaching high six figures for larger or multi-office firms2
- Implementation typically runs multiple months and often depends on professional services for configuration2
For a large firm, that configurability is the point. Deal teams, IR, compliance, and finance can work from one system with one set of records, and the reporting reflects how the firm actually organises itself rather than how a vendor assumed it would.
DealCloud does not sell allocator data. Market data reaches it through integrations with providers such as Dakota, Preqin, PitchBook, and FINTRX, each licensed separately. That is why DealCloud and a data subscription are almost always bought as a pair.
#Coverage comparison
DealCloud holds your data; Altss supplies data you lack
This is the whole comparison in one line, and it explains why the two are so often bought together. DealCloud is a system of record: excellent at organising, permissioning, and reporting on the deals, contacts, and funds your firm already knows about. It does not arrive with a family office dataset, and it does not claim to.
Altss arrives as data. 9,000+ family offices, 150,000+ institutional LP entities, 40,000+ GPs, collected from public sources with a verification timestamp on each record3. The CRM and outreach layer exists so a team can act on that data without exporting it, not because Altss is trying to be an enterprise system of record.
Configuration is a strength and a cost
DealCloud's data model can be shaped to almost anything, which is why large multi-strategy firms choose it. The same property is why implementations run months and typically involve professional services2. For a firm with an operations team and a defined process, that investment returns. For a six-person IR team raising Fund II, it usually does not.
Altss has the inverse profile. Nothing to configure, and no ability to configure. If your firm needs custom objects, per-deal workflow rules, and compliance-driven field-level controls, Altss will not give you those and DealCloud will.
Where the two overlap: fundraising pipeline
DealCloud has fundraising and investor relations modules, and Altss has a CRM and pipeline. This is the only genuine overlap, and for most firms it is decided by what else you need. A firm already running DealCloud across deals and compliance will keep its fundraising pipeline there and use Altss for allocator discovery, signals, and outreach.
A firm with no enterprise CRM will find that Altss covers the fundraising pipeline adequately without a six-figure platform commitment, and will revisit the question if it later needs deal execution and compliance in one system.
#Data freshness
Freshness means different things for a system of record and for a data platform.
Altss
- 30-day full database re-verification cycle across the allocator dataset
- Faster updates on personnel changes, mandate shifts, and fund launches as they become publicly observable
- Every email bounce-checked before the record appears
- Every record traceable to a public source with a verification timestamp
DealCloud
- Records are as current as your team keeps them, plus whatever connected data providers deliver1
- Data provider integrations can push updates into DealCloud on the provider's cadence
- Coverage of an allocator your firm has never tracked depends entirely on the data subscription behind it
- Activity capture and AI features across the Intapp suite reduce, but do not remove, manual maintenance
DealCloud's freshness is inherited from whatever you connect to it. That is a reasonable architecture, and it means the quality of the allocator data in your DealCloud instance is decided by a separate purchase.
#Methodology: configured system of record vs. sourced data
The two platforms are not really competing on methodology, because only one of them collects data.
DealCloud's approach: configure and integrate. The firm defines its own objects, pipelines, and permissions, then connects data providers, email, and the rest of the Intapp suite. The methodology question for a DealCloud buyer is not how DealCloud collects data, but which data subscription sits behind it and how well the integration maintains the records.
Altss's approach: OSINT-first collection. Filings, registries, CAFRs, 990s, endowment reports, sovereign disclosures, public news, and published statements, resolved into entities and timestamped against their source. The dataset exists for allocators no customer has ever tracked, which is the point of buying it.
The practical consequence: a DealCloud instance with no allocator data subscription behind it is an empty, very well-organised database. Altss without an enterprise CRM is a full dataset with a lighter workflow. Which gap you can live with is the real decision.
#Pricing
A DealCloud instance with no allocator data subscription behind it is an empty, very well-organised database. Add the data and the implementation to any quote before comparing it to anything.
Altss
Published. Family Office Intelligence $15,000/year ($12,000 emerging), Global Investor Intelligence $18,000 ($15,000), Full Market Intelligence $25,000 ($20,000). One named user included; additional users from $5,000. Altss Fundraising OS from $35,000/year adds the investor CRM, AI outreach and meeting intelligence. There is no implementation fee and no configuration project.
DealCloud
DealCloud (Intapp does not publish pricing):
- Annual software cost commonly in the low six figures, per independent reporting2
- Larger or multi-office firms reported at high six figures or more2
- Every quote requires a sales conversation; no list price is published2
- Implementation and configuration are typically additional and run multiple months2
- Allocator and market data are licensed separately from providers such as Dakota, Preqin, PitchBook or FINTRX
These are different orders of magnitude and different purchases. DealCloud is a platform commitment for a firm standardising many workflows; Altss is a per-seat subscription that includes the data. A useful sanity check: add the data subscription and implementation to a DealCloud quote before comparing it to anything.
DealCloud pricing figures come from independent third-party pricing coverage checked August 6, 2026; Intapp publishes no list price. Altss pricing per altss.com/pricing, August 2026.

If you are standardising workflow across a large multi-strategy firm, buy DealCloud. The question is then which data subscription sits behind it, and that is where Altss competes.
Where DealCloud winsFor a large firm, DealCloud does things Altss does not attempt and should not be compared against.
- 01
The full deal lifecycle in one system
Sourcing, diligence, execution, and portfolio monitoring, with the same records and permissions throughout1. Altss covers a fundraising pipeline and nothing beyond it.
- 02
A data model shaped to your firm
Custom objects, pipelines, stages, reports, and field-level permissions configured to how your firm actually operates1. Altss is a fixed product with no configuration surface at all.
- 03
Compliance, time, and billing in the same suite
Intapp spans deal management, compliance, and time and billing1. For a regulated firm consolidating vendors, that breadth is the reason to buy.
- 04
Enterprise scale and continuity
1,100+ client firms and Intapp cloud ARR above $400M in Q1 FY20261. Procurement teams at large firms weight that heavily, and reasonably.
- 05
It integrates with everything, including us being irrelevant to it
DealCloud connects to data providers, Office, email, and the wider Intapp platform. Altss has no API and no integrations by design, so a firm whose architecture depends on data flowing between systems will find DealCloud accommodating and Altss deliberately closed.
- 06
One system across many teams
Deal teams, IR, compliance, and finance working from the same records is genuinely valuable at scale, and it is not something a focused data platform delivers.
If you are standardising workflow across a large multi-strategy firm, buy DealCloud. The question is then which data subscription sits behind it, and that is where Altss competes.
#Where Altss wins
- 01
It comes with the data
9,000+ family offices, 150,000+ institutional LP entities, and 40,000+ GPs, collected from the public record3. DealCloud holds whatever you put in it and licenses market data separately. On day one the difference is stark.
- 02
No implementation project
DealCloud implementations typically run months and often depend on professional services2. Altss has nothing to configure. For a team raising now, time-to-first-outreach is measured in hours rather than quarters.
- 03
Mandate and personnel signals across the market
Mandate shifts, CIO transitions, and fund launches surface as they become publicly observable3. A configured CRM can only alert you about entities someone already added to it.
- 04
Outbound is included
AI-assisted outreach with sequenced follow-ups, sent from your own mailbox, plus a research copilot and a meeting notetaker in the same product. On the DealCloud side these are separate tools and separate integrations.
- 05
Published pricing at a different order of magnitude
$15,000 to $25,000 a year published ($12,000 to $20,000 for qualifying emerging managers), with no implementation fee, and Altss Fundraising OS from $35,000. DealCloud does not publish pricing, and independent reporting puts software alone commonly in the low six figures before implementation and before data2.
- 06
Built for the raise
DealCloud's centre of gravity is deal execution and firm-wide workflow. Altss is built for capital formation: who to target, what they are mandating, who to contact, what to send.
- 07
A live 35M+ company dataset
Companies and startups, completing the LP to GP to portfolio-company graph inside one platform3.

Comparison accurate as of August 6, 2026. Intapp and DealCloud figures come from Intapp reporting and independent third-party pricing coverage; Intapp publishes no list price, so cost figures are reported ranges rather than quotes. Altss figures reflect internal database counts. A “No” against Altss on API, export, and integrations reflects a deliberate product decision.
#What fund managers are saying
“DealCloud is where the firm lives. It was never going to tell us which family offices in Singapore were writing cheques this year, because that was never its job.”
“We scoped DealCloud for the IR team and the implementation timeline alone ended the conversation. We were raising in six weeks.”
“We run both. DealCloud for deals and compliance, Altss for the allocator side. The overlap is one pipeline view and nobody minds it.”
“The thing nobody tells you about an enterprise CRM is that it arrives empty. The data is a separate purchase, and that purchase is the one that decides whether the raise works.”

#Which is right for you?
- For large multi-strategy firms standardising workflow
- DealCloud. One configured system across deals, IR, compliance, and finance is exactly what it is for, and Altss does not attempt it.
- For emerging and mid-market managers raising capital
- Altss. The data arrives with the product, there is no implementation project, and the per-seat cost is an order of magnitude below a platform commitment.
- For firms already running DealCloud
- Add Altss as the allocator data layer rather than replacing anything. DealCloud stays the system of record; Altss supplies coverage and signals it was never designed to produce.
- For teams that need deal execution and compliance
- DealCloud. Altss covers a fundraising pipeline and stops there.
- For firms with a defined process and an operations team
- DealCloud's configurability returns the implementation investment. Without that team, it usually does not.
- For teams whose architecture depends on integrations
- DealCloud. Altss has no API, no export, and no data-provider integrations by design, and this is a hard blocker rather than a roadmap item.
- For a firm buying its first serious tool
- Buy the data before the platform. An empty enterprise CRM does not raise a fund; a target list with working contacts does.
#Pros and cons
Altss
Pros
- +The allocator dataset is included: 9,000+ family offices, 150,000+ LP entities, 40,000+ GPs
- +No implementation project and no professional services
- +Mandate, personnel, and fund-launch signals across the market
- +AI-assisted outreach, research copilot, and meeting notetaker in the same product
- +Live 35M+ company dataset
- +Published per-seat pricing, from $12,000 for emerging managers
Cons
- −No deal execution, compliance, time, or billing modules
- −Fixed product: no custom objects, no configurable data model
- −Workspace-level permissions rather than field-level controls
- −No API, no export, no data-provider integrations, all by design
- −Not a fit as a firm-wide system of record
DealCloud
Pros
- +Full deal lifecycle from sourcing through execution
- +Highly configurable data model, pipelines, and reporting
- +Compliance, time, and billing across the Intapp suite
- +Extensive integrations, including major data providers
- +1,100+ client firms; Intapp cloud ARR above $400M in Q1 FY2026
- +Field-level permissions suited to regulated firms
Cons
- −Arrives without allocator data; market data is a separate licence
- −No published pricing; commonly low six figures per independent reporting
- −Implementation typically runs months and often needs professional services
- −Configuration depth is overhead for small IR teams
- −No native mandate or personnel signals across the allocator universe
#Using both together
Running both is the common pattern at firms above roughly fifty people, and the split is clean.
- DealCloud as the firm-wide system of record: deal pipeline, execution, compliance, permissions, and reporting configured to your process
- Altss as the allocator data and outreach layer: family office and institutional LP coverage, mandate signals, targeting, and the outreach workflow
The overlap is a single fundraising pipeline view, which most firms resolve by keeping the record of truth in DealCloud and doing discovery and first-touch work in Altss.
If you are choosing one, the question is whether your binding constraint is workflow standardisation or allocator coverage. Firms rarely get that answer wrong once it is stated plainly.
