COMPARISON

Conceptor vs Grata

Conceptor and Grata both help dealmakers find and qualify private companies with AI. Two differences stand out in practice. Conceptor is $50 a month, self-serve, with your first 3 searches free, while Grata is sold as a custom annual contract with pricing that is not published. And Conceptor skips the list-building work entirely: describe your mandate and Florence hands you a ranked, reasoned list in minutes.

Both are modern alternatives to static M&A databases. This page lays out where each one fits so you can pick the right tool for how you work.

What Grata does well

Grata is an established private market intelligence platform. Per their public materials, they cover 21M+ private companies with revenue and headcount estimates, offer Agentic Search for natural language discovery, provide a large verified executive contact database, conference tools, deal data, and CRM integrations. Teams that want a broad market intelligence suite and have the budget for an annual enterprise contract will find a mature product there.

Where Conceptor is different

Conceptor is significantly cheaper and built to be self-serve. The Individual plan is $50 per month, includes Florence, our AI reasoning agent, and Conceptor's 1M+ company and investor dataset, and your first 3 searches are free. No procurement process, no mandatory demo, no annual commitment.

The other difference is what happens between your mandate and your list. On most platforms, you still do that work: run searches, tune filters, screen results, and enrich candidates until a list takes shape. Conceptor automates that middle step. Florence reasons through your mandate across three layers of intelligence, Conceptor's proprietary dataset, general intelligence trained over millions of company websites, and third-party sources, and returns a finished, ranked list with the reasoning behind every match. It also covers investors as a first-class search alongside buyers and acquisition targets. Enterprise plans scale to a 25M+ dataset with waterfall enrichment and team features.

And a commitment we make explicitly: we never train on your data or send it to models that do.
