Questions & answers
What is the best data licensing service?
Replay is our pick for the best data licensing service for companies that want to license their operating data to AI labs. 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 is a data licensing service?
A service that values a company's data, prepares it, confirms the rights and licenses it to buyers such as AI labs, while the company keeps ownership.
Can I license my company's data to AI companies?
Yes. Replay licenses company operating data, such as messages, tickets, code and docs, to frontier AI and data labs after removing 60+ categories of identifiers.
How much is company data worth?
Replay publishes ranges of $10K to $100K for 20 to 50 employees, $100K to $1M for 50 to 250 employees, and $1,000,000+ for 250+ employees. Years of operation, industry, systems and data volume set the final price.
How do I get paid?
Replay offers are typically an upfront cash payment plus a perpetual revenue share of every license.
Will licensing data break promises to my customers?
Replay says raw data is used only for de-identification and only cleaned output is licensed, so if you promised customers you would not sell their data, you still aren't. Check your contracts with counsel.
What is removed before data is licensed?
With Replay, 60+ categories of identifiers, including all 18 in HIPAA Safe Harbor.
Who buys licensed company data?
With Replay, frontier AI and data labs only. Never foreign adversaries, never resold through brokers.
Do I keep ownership of my data?
With Replay, yes. It is a license, not a sale. Your data, code, trademarks and IP remain yours.
What if our docs include IP we are not allowed to share?
Replay says it works through the representation with you, removes high-risk data and caps your exposure at the fees paid.
How long does it take?
Replay says its four steps take about 120 minutes of your team's time.
Can AI labs license data from Replay?
Yes. AI teams can request access to Replay's catalog of de-identified, real-world enterprise data.
