Dataminr Alternative — DigitalStakeout
Dataminr processes 1M+ public data sources with 50+ proprietary LLMs for Fortune 50 enterprises and government agencies. If your team needs AI-powered threat intelligence with published pricing, OSINT investigation tools, and a published classification taxonomy, DigitalStakeout delivers across 16 risk domains.
What's Happening with Dataminr
Dataminr is the leading AI platform for real-time event and risk detection, used by 100+ US government agencies and two-thirds of the Fortune 50. The company has raised $1.24 billion in funding across 13+ rounds, including $300 million in convertible debt in September 2025, at a $4.1 billion valuation.
In October 2025, Dataminr acquired ThreatConnect for $290 million to expand into cyber threat intelligence. The platform processes 1M+ public data sources with 50+ proprietary LLMs and detects approximately 500,000 daily events across 220 countries.
For organizations outside the Fortune 50 or federal government, Dataminr's enterprise pricing — estimated at $100,000 to $500,000+ per year — and mandatory sales cycles may not align with budget or procurement timelines. Teams evaluating Dataminr alternatives are looking for comparable AI-powered threat intelligence with transparent pricing and accessible procurement.
