How to switch from Tracxn to aVenture

1. Export your company list. Write down the names and websites of the companies in your Tracxn feeds that you follow.
2. Match each company by website. aventure entities lookup-exact get --url https://stripe.com finds a company by its website and works on every plan, including the free one.
3. Match a long list in one job. On AI Plus or AI Pro, a bulk lookup job identifies up to 2,000 names from a list or from one web page. Each name comes back MATCHED, NEEDS_REVIEW with ranked candidates, or NO_MATCH. For a company that comes back NO_MATCH, request coverage with its website.
4. Save the companies you track. AI Plus and AI Pro include saved lists and views across companies and people.
5. Refresh thin records. Each match shows when its record last changed. Send incomplete or outdated records for a research update.
6. Connect your tools. The MCP server and CLI bring the same data into Claude, ChatGPT, and your terminal with the same sign-in.

As of October 2026, Essential is free. AI Plus costs $49 a month or $490 a year. AI Pro costs $199 a month or $1,999 a year, and new AI Pro subscribers can pay $588 for their first year on the annual plan. Expert is priced per engagement. See pricing and plans explained.

What does not carry over: aVenture has no sector taxonomy on the scale of Tracxn's feeds, so worldwide sector sweeps stay in a taxonomy tool. Older companies, non-venture-backed businesses, and non-US companies have thinner records today, and that coverage is growing.
