- Buyer

- Shutdown service
- Winds down companies and also sells their data.
How we built this list
We started from the companies that publish a data partnership or data purchase program, then added brokers, marketplaces and shutdown services that owners meet when they look for a buyer. Each page is written from the company's own pages first, then from reputable press, and every number links to its source with the date we checked it.
We label what kind of number each price is: a published range, the buyer's case studies, a press report, or a broker claim. Broker claims are not confirmed. Where a company does not publish something, we say so instead of guessing. Healthcare data buyers are out of scope.
Data Licensors, the company that publishes this page, also licenses company records. We are listed like everyone else, the table sorts by name, and our row is marked. Spot something wrong or missing? Email hello@datalicensors.com.
Plain answers
Who buys company data for AI training?
Mostly AI data companies that collect records for AI labs, plus a few labs directly. Around them sit brokers, marketplaces and shutdown services that connect owners to those buyers. We list 22 in total and check each one by hand.
How much do AI companies pay for company data?
Among the 11 that publish a range, prices start at $10K and the highest tiers reach $4M or more. The final price depends on headcount, years of records and which tools they live in. Closed deals are in our deal ledger.
What is the difference between a buyer and a broker?
A buyer licenses your records itself and pays you. A broker introduces you to buyers and is paid from the deal, by you or by the buyer. Ask any broker who pays its fee and how much.
Do I give up my data if I license it?
A license is a copy. You keep the originals and keep using them. Check how long the license lasts, whether it is exclusive, and who removes names and personal details before anything leaves.
Is Data Licensors on this list?
Yes. Data Licensors, the company that publishes this page, also licenses company records, and it is listed like everyone else. The table sorts by name, and every other row is written from public sources.
