September 23, 2026TAM Graph vs Coresignal 2026: $199 Unmetered Against 600 to 1,200 Company Records
Two B2B data APIs with a plan at the same monthly price, and very different amounts of data behind it. We set TAM Graph, ranked first of ten, against Coresignal, ranked third, and explain which workloads belong with each.
Coresignal tiers — $49 to $5,000 a month, 2,500 to 10,000,000 credits, all published
Credit maths — 10 to 20 credits per company record puts the $199 Starter tier at 600 to 1,200 records
TAM Graph Pro — $199 with no credits; fair use of 500,000 records a day and 5 requests a second
Prose search — TAM Graph resolves a described company set asynchronously; Coresignal has no equivalent in its docs
Agents — MCP server included with TAM Graph; Coresignal not among the MCP providers
Coresignal's edge — jobs and social-post data, rate limits above 100 requests a second on top tiers

TAM Graph topped our ranking of ten B2B data APIs. In this review we go through the endpoints, the natural-language company search, the dataset list, the trial and Pro terms, the fair-use numbers and how its flat price compares with credit-based rivals.

Access — website, CSV, REST API with an X-API-Key header, and an MCP server for Claude or Cursor

Pricing — free trial of 50 requests; Pro at $199 a month with no credits, seats or per-record fees
Fair use — 500,000 records a day, 5 requests a second, empty results count as zero

September 23, 2026Installmap vs BuiltWith 2026: Shares With a Printed Denominator Against Metered Site Lists
BuiltWith placed fourth in our test of who can report the share of a named company list running a tool. Installmap placed first. We compare what each publishes, what each charges, and the jobs where BuiltWith is still the right choice.
The test — a percentage of a named list, with its base and date, from public pages
BuiltWith — 126,278 technologies over 491.9 million domains; trend charts with no stated population; lists at $295 to $995 a month
Installmap — six named lists with the base printed: 212 of 472 Fortune 500 sites for OneTrust, 687 of 5,386 YC companies for PostHog
Rendering gap — a plain fetch finds 36.7% of Inc 5000 installs, a figure only Installmap publishes
Cost to quote — Installmap free with a link back; BuiltWith quoting terms not stated
BuiltWith's strengths — exportable prospect lists, single-domain lookups, eighteen years of history

September 23, 2026Installmap Review 2026: Software Adoption Shares for Six Company Lists, Free to Cite
Installmap placed first when we tested eleven sources on how well they report the share of a named company list running a tool. This review covers the six lists, how shares are computed, the pricing, and the gaps a homepage crawl leaves.
Six lists, 21,488 companies — Fortune 500 (472 read), Inc 5000 (4,885), Y Combinator (5,386), unicorns, SaaS and Tranco top 10,000
Shares with a base — every percentage prints its denominator and crawl date
Examples — OneTrust 44.9% of the Fortune 500 and 2.2% of YC; Vercel 27.3% of YC homepages and 3.4% of Fortune 500 ones
Crawl — headless browser, 275 fingerprints in 18 categories, 20-site minimum per cell
Published recall — a plain fetch catches 36.7% of Inc 5000 installs
Price — free to read and cite with a link back; no company-level lists for sale
Blind spots — backend, warehouse and logged-in software; lists outside the six

September 23, 2026FundingWatcher vs Signal by NFX 2026: Open City and Stage Counts Against Sign-Up Investor Lists
We compare the two strongest sources from our look at where to find venture capital firm counts. One publishes counts by city, stage and type on open pages. The other publishes dated, curated investor lists that need a sign-up. We explain which to use for which job.
The four questions — a firm count, a city cut, a stage cut, and a stated counting rule
Signal by NFX — list sizes by sector and stage with refresh dates; no city cut, no venture capital firm total; lists behind a sign-up
FundingWatcher — 24,254 venture capital firms, 5,247 cities, 13 stages and 22 types, all without an account
London test — 3,492 investors on one FundingWatcher page; no London figure on Signal
Seed against late stage — 50,175 to 10,427 on FundingWatcher
When Signal wins — building a sector and stage target list to work through
