Looking for a FamilyOfficeDB alternative? FamilyOfficeDB sells one-time Excel and CSV downloads, from $199 per US state to $2,995 for its full database. Active Family Offices also sells one-time Excel files, with every office verified as active (it runs a live website) and mail-server-verified work emails for most USA-region offices.
Full disclosure: we are Active Family Offices, one of the two products compared. FamilyOfficeDB facts are from its own pages as of October 2026.
What FamilyOfficeDB does well
FamilyOfficeDB publishes one plain price list, which is a buyer-friendly choice, and it describes its data clearly. Per its homepage: 4,539 single- and multi-family offices across 78 countries, 8,767 named principals and CIOs, investment focus, AUM, and cross-checks against SEC Form ADV, updated September 2026.
It offers a free 100-firm sample, Excel and CSV delivery, and a licence for the buyer's whole firm. Its state packs at $199 each make a single-state campaign very inexpensive to start.

How Active Family Offices differs
The shape is similar: one payment, one Excel file. The difference is the inclusion bar.
Every office in our file is reviewed and verified by a team of humans as active (it runs a live website). Each row has the office's website, LinkedIn page, location, investment domains, and named top decision-makers. For most USA-region offices, a decision-maker's work email is verified against the mail server before inclusion (privacy law limits personal contact details for the EU, UK, and some other regions; coverage is on each product page).
We publish the method on our FAQ page and release a new version each quarter. The full databases carry the accuracy guarantee on the product page. Live counts are on the product pages, because they change.
