Six Altss alternatives worth comparing in 2026 are FINTRX, Dakota, Preqin, PitchBook, Family Office Access, and a one-time Excel file such as ours. Altss sells annual, in-platform Intelligence plans from $5,000 to $25,000 per year, per its pricing page as of November 2026. Active Family Offices sells a one-time Excel file you own and can load into any tool: the Full USA Database is $2,500 and the Full Worldwide Database is $5,000.
Full disclosure, since a guide like this should say who wrote it: we sell a family office database, so we are one of the products compared here. We have tried to be fair. Every fact about Altss and the other providers below comes from their own pages as of November 2026, except one clearly labelled third-party estimate, with sources at the end.
What Altss does well
Altss describes itself as a private-markets data intelligence platform covering family offices and other allocators. Its data page describes family office coverage (single family offices, multi family offices, and principal investment arms), relationship context such as consultant relationships and commitment history, and signals such as mandate shifts and personnel transitions, all researched inside the platform.
Its pricing page publishes fixed annual prices, a welcome practice in a market where most platforms quote through sales. The team also publishes a large amount of comparative research, which raises the standard of information available to buyers, and we are glad they do.
Altss pricing in 2026, from its own pricing page
As of November 2026, Altss's pricing page lists these annual Intelligence plans in USD:
- Europe Family Offices: $5,000 per year
- North America Family Offices: $8,000 per year
- Global Family Offices: $15,000 per year
- Global Investors: $18,000 per year
- Full Market: $25,000 per year
The same page lists the Altss Fundraising OS, which adds pipeline and outreach workflows, at $25,000 per year (Family Offices), $35,000 per year (Global Investors), and $45,000 per year (Full Market). It also states:
- Subscriptions are annual; monthly billing is not offered.
- Global Intelligence plans and the Fundraising OS include one named user, and additional named users cost $5,000 per year each.
- Regional plans include exactly one named user, with no additional users available.
- Intelligence plans are in-platform research, with no public API, bulk export, or free trial. Customers can export their own data.
- Direct checkout is a prepaid 12-month term with no automatic renewal; purchases through AWS Marketplace follow the AWS contract settings.
See their pricing page for current terms. For platforms that quote through sales instead, see our explainer on FINTRX pricing.
That model is coherent: the subscription is the product, and in-platform research is what keeps the intelligence current and protected. If your team lives inside a research tool all year and wants signal data, Altss is built for that.
Other Altss alternatives
If you are comparing platforms, here are five other Altss alternatives. Each line comes from the provider's own pages as of November 2026, except the Preqin estimate, which is labelled.
- FINTRX: a private-wealth intelligence platform. Its family office data page describes 4,600+ verified single and multi family offices and 30,000+ verified contacts, updated daily. We could not find published prices (fintrx.com/pricing returned a page-not-found on 1 November 2026); the site invites visitors to request a trial.
- Dakota Marketplace: an allocator data platform built for fundraisers. Its Marketplace page lists $16,500 per year for full platform access and $1,000 per additional user, with 5,000+ family offices among 250,000+ LP accounts.
- Preqin: an institutional alternatives data platform, part of BlackRock since March 2025, covering eight asset classes. Preqin does not publish prices; Vendr, a software purchasing platform, shows a median of $49,334 per year on its Preqin page (a third-party estimate; actual pricing is quoted by Preqin and varies).
- PitchBook: a private equity and venture capital database, a subsidiary of Morningstar since 2016 per its citation guidelines. We could not find published prices; its homepage invites visitors to request a demo.
- Family Office Access: a family office platform with annual subscriptions, paid upfront: Global $3,995, North America $2,495, and International $2,495 per year, per its homepage. A Monthly tab is shown, though only annual prices were listed when we checked.
The sixth option is a one-time Excel file, which is what we sell. We compare that tier vendor by vendor in family office lists you can download as Excel.
How a one-time family office file works
Active Family Offices sells the opposite shape of product. You pay once, download the current version as an Excel file, and the rows are yours to load into any CRM, share with your whole team, and keep. There are no seats.
Every listing is reviewed and verified by a team of humans and has a verified website or LinkedIn company page. It comes with the office website, LinkedIn company page, location, investment domains, and up to three top decision-makers.
For the USA, decision-makers come with a personal LinkedIn profile and a verified personal work email. For Europe, Israel, Canada, Japan, and Brazil, the file lists decision-makers by name and position, with company email and phone, for regulatory reasons. Full databases carry an accuracy guarantee of 95% or higher or your money back, under the terms on the product page.
The job this serves is a defined outreach effort: a raise, a fund launch, a market entry, a partnership push. You need a clean, portable list, and you want to start this week. Our guide to cold email to family offices covers the outreach itself.
