Enigma vs PrivCo

Enigma provides identity and financial health intelligence about small and medium businesses in the United States. Its business identity graph connects brands, locations, owners, and other relationships; Enigma reports 2B+ relationships and 99.2% pairwise precision. The data includes observed revenue, growth, refunds, openings, and closings, with revenue coverage from 40% of U.S. card volume across the top 60 issuing banks. It also links thousands of government datasets—including inspections, permits, licenses, enforcement actions, tax liens, and regulatory filings—to business identities. Customers can use an API, the Console research interface, or MCP for AI agents. Enigma describes uses such as business verification and KYB, go-to-market work, payment volume insights, and lead generation. The Free plan costs nothing and provides Console viewing, search, and live summaries. Pro costs $20 a month with 2,100 monthly credits; Max costs $200 a month with 25,000 credits. Monthly credits do not roll over. No free trial is listed.

PrivCo provides intelligence on private companies, including financial estimates, ownership, contacts, funding and deal activity. Search filters include industry, location, revenue, EBITDA and ownership; users can save searches, create watchlists and monitor changes. Revenue, EBITDA and company-value estimates are presented with a range, update date, confidence level and supporting information. PrivCo says its main focus is U.S. private companies with annual revenue above $1 million, and that more than 85% of its coverage is bootstrapped or family-owned without outside VC or PE funding. The company describes combining licensed datasets, filings, court records, news, digital footprints and proprietary research, with automated checks and analyst review. Company information can be exported for outreach, internal review, market mapping and analysis. REST API and MCP access are documented, including connectors for Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot; API access requires an enabled account. Free accounts provide AI-powered search but omit profiles, contacts, watchlists and exports. A seven-day List Builder trial has specified profile, search and contact-view limits and excludes exports and classic search tools.
