The three reasons that come up in every evaluation
Grata pricing is quoted after a sales process and typically lands in the tens of thousands per year. CorpDev.Ai publishes its pricing — from $1,000/month with the full data layer included — and you can evaluate it in a 14-day trial before paying anything.
Deal flow varies quarter to quarter. CorpDev.Ai offers monthly or annual terms, so you can scale up while actively sourcing without committing to a multi-year contract during the quiet quarters.
A database gives you names and firmographics. CorpDev.Ai's AI analyzes why a company fits — business model, strategy, technology, competitive position — the information an M&A decision actually turns on.
Based on market feedback, Grata typically quotes between $10,000 and $100,000 per year depending on your company size, use case, and negotiation. You must schedule a sales call to get custom pricing—there's no published pricing available.
Yes — every plan starts with a 14-day trial, and there's no sales call required to begin. Search companies, generate profiles, map a market, and produce real deliverables during the evaluation. Corporate acquirers with a qualifying business email are accepted automatically.
No. Choose monthly subscriptions for flexibility or annual for savings—it's your choice. No forced annual contracts. Cancel anytime if your needs change. This flexibility is especially valuable when M&A activity fluctuates.
We have a larger pre-indexed database, plus our AI can profile any company on-demand—even if they're not in our database yet. When you search for a company, our AI researches and builds a comprehensive profile in real-time. This gives you truly unlimited coverage.
Traditional databases provide static fields: industry, employees, revenue estimates. Our AI actually analyzes companies—business models, value propositions, technology stacks, go-to-market strategies, competitive positioning, and strategic fit for M&A. Plus, you can ask follow-up questions and get real answers, not just predefined data points.
Many teams start using CorpDev.Ai alongside their existing tools (including Grata) using the 14-day trial to compare results side by side. Once you see the difference, you can decide whether to continue your Grata contract when it's up for renewal. There's no risk to trying both.
The pricing is published: AI Pro is $1,000/month invoiced annually for an individual professional, and AI Pro Team is $3,000/month for corporate development teams — both with the full platform and data layer included, no add-on data licenses. See the pricing page for the complete breakdown.
