OpenData / Compare / OpenData vs BrandNav
OpenData vs BrandNav, one price per row, no second meter.
BrandNav screens stores with one credit balance, then charges a second to enrich them. OpenData sells the finished record — contacts included where the store publishes them — for one per-row price.
1,504,744 verified stores · 23,984,359 domains scanned · snapshot 15 November 2026The short version
BrandNav claims the biggest haystack of the six — 14.7M+ stores across 172 platforms (vendor-reported) — and a two-step workflow to use it: screen stores with one credit balance, then enrich them with another to attach verified emails, phones and LinkedIn profiles. Access is a subscription billed quarterly, from $19/mo.
OpenData's index is smaller and says so: 1,504,744 verified stores. The difference is the shape of the deal — one step, one price. A full record already includes the store's published contacts, its platform, technologies and apps, its source URL and last-observed date, at $4 per 1,000 rows with no subscription and no enrichment meter.

Where BrandNav is the better tool
Claimed breadth and the enrichment layer. If you want the widest claimed net — 172 platforms, 242 countries — plus LinkedIn profiles attached to named founders, BrandNav's Screener-plus-Enricher flow is designed for that. OpenData does not attach LinkedIn profiles or named-person data; it sells the store record and the contacts the store itself publishes.
Who should pick which
Pick BrandNav if you prospect inside a dashboard continuously and want enrichment to named people. Pick OpenData if you want a verified store list as a file — priced per row, sources shown, no quarterly billing and no second credit meter between you and the contacts.
Questions, answered straight
How big is BrandNav's database, really?
It claims 14.7M+ active stores (14,721,092 in its precise figure) across 172 platforms — a vendor-reported claim, not an audited count, and claimed totals in this market count stores very differently. OpenData's 1,504,744 counts only stores our own scan fetched and verified with detected ecommerce technology, each with a source URL.
Why does BrandNav charge twice — Screener and Enricher?
Finding a store and attaching its contacts are separate credit pools, vendor-reported: the Screener filters the index, the Enricher adds verified emails, phones and LinkedIn. OpenData full records bundle the published contacts into the row price — $4 per 1,000 rows, nothing extra to enrich.
Can I buy BrandNav data once?
No one-time option is reported — plans are subscriptions billed quarterly. OpenData is the one-off route: minimum pull $9.99, pay per row, keep the file.
Before you pay either of us
Run the store you care about through the free checker first — free accounts get 30 full-record unlocks a month — and take the free sample file for a spin. If the records hold up, pull exactly the slice you need. Every paid pull exports as CSV plus a formatted Excel twin, under a per-buyer licence, and the minimum pull is $9.99.
