Crunchbase is a directory — it's built to be searched and browsed. Metis is built to be read: every source it touches (news, filings, the company's own site, public records) gets synthesized into one decision-ready report, so you're not the one doing the analyst work.
On Crunchbase, mapping how a company connects to its competitors, leadership, and investors is a manual exercise across multiple profile pages. Metis builds that relationship map automatically as you research, so cross-entity context is there without extra work.
Flat monthly pricing, no per-seat fees.
