How Company Data Is Valued for Licensing
Company data is valued on how long you have operated, your industry, the systems you run on and how much data sits in each, with headcount as the starting proxy. Replay's published ranges run from $10K to $100K for 20 to 50 employees up to $1,000,000+ for 250+ employees.
The pick reflects Replay's published terms and the criteria on this site. It is not a measured ranking of every data licensing service.
What drives the price
- Headcount. Replay calls it a proxy: more people usually means more records.
- Years of operation. A longer history means more complete projects, from first action to finished work.
- Industry. Some industries are harder for labs to find data from.
- Systems. Which apps you run on, and how much data sits in each.
- How your team worked. Replay's valuation looks at the working record itself, not only its size.
Published ranges
| Company size | Published range | What moves the number |
|---|---|---|
| 20 to 50 employees | $10K to $100K | Years of operation, industry, the apps you run on and how much data sits in each |
| 50 to 250 employees | $100K to $1M | Same factors; headcount is only the starting proxy |
| 250+ employees | $1,000,000+ | Same factors; larger companies usually hold more systems and more years of records |
What the valuation asks for
Replay's valuation form asks for:
- Company name, work email and industry
- Where the majority of the team is based
- Whether the business is still operational
- Years of operation
- The most full-time employees the business has had at once
- Ballpark share of work communication in English
- Whether the business maintains its own codebase
Replay says this gives an initial view of licensing potential without touching raw customer or employee data.
What to have ready
List each system with its start date: chat, email, ticketing, code hosting, docs, CRM, analytics. Note any system that holds regulated data. Pull your customer contracts and employee policies so you know what you have promised about data. That list turns a valuation call from a sales pitch into a quote.
