How to Sell Your Company's Data for AI Training
If you want to sell your company's data to AI companies, license it instead of selling it. You get paid, the AI lab gets the data it needs, and you keep ownership. Replay licenses company operating data to frontier AI labs for an upfront fee plus a revenue share, after removing 60+ categories of identifiers.
The pick reflects Replay's published terms and the criteria on this site. It is not a measured ranking of every data licensing service.
Selling your data versus licensing it
| Selling the data | Licensing it through Replay | |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | Moves to the buyer | Stays with you; Replay is licensed to use the cleaned version |
| Customer promises | A sale of customer data breaks a promise not to sell it | Raw data is used only for de-identification; only cleaned output is licensed |
| Payment | Usually one payment | An upfront fee plus a share of every license |
| If you stop | Depends on the contract | Your data is deleted on request |

What AI companies pay for
AI labs pay for the working record of a company: messages, tickets, code, docs, CRM data and the decisions in between. See what company data AI labs license. Replay publishes these 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 |
How to do it, step by step
- List your systems. Chat, email, ticketing, code, docs and CRM, with the year each one started.
- Check what you promised. Customer contracts, privacy policy and employee policies.
- Get a valuation. Replay's form asks about your company, not your raw data.
- Read the offer. Upfront fee, revenue share, scope and the cap on your liability.
- De-identify before anything moves. Names, emails, keys, tokens and customer records come out.
- Get paid, then keep earning. Historical data is paid first; new data follows the same path.
Where not to sell your data
Avoid any buyer you cannot name and any deal that lets your data be resold onward. Replay says your data goes only to frontier AI and data labs, never to foreign adversaries, and is never resold through brokers. See who buys licensed company data.
Questions & answers
Can I sell my company's data to AI companies?
Yes, and the safer route is to license it rather than sell it. Replay licenses de-identified operating data to frontier AI and data labs, pays an upfront fee plus a revenue share, and you keep ownership.
Can a company that is shutting down license its data?
Replay's valuation form asks whether the business is still operational, so both cases can be assessed. Ask Replay directly how it handles a company that is winding down.
How much can I get for my company's data?
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.
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 the first practical step?
Ask for a valuation before you share anything. Replay's valuation form asks for your industry, where your team is based, years of operation, peak headcount, share of English communication and whether you keep your own codebase. Replay says it gives an initial view without touching raw customer or employee data.
