Services
Sections ↑Exabel is an alternative-data research platform for investment teams and data vendors. It combines pre-integrated datasets, company KPI models and visual research workflows, allowing a team to evaluate third-party information alongside its own data. Its practical role is to organize research and examine business performance before an investment decision. Vendor partnerships provide an additional route for data owners to present their datasets to fundamental investors.[2]

Products and users
| Offering | Main use | Buying consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Portfolio managers and analysts use KPI forecasts, screening and complementary data to investigate company performance. | A research workspace for an existing investment universe; assess whether its mapped KPIs answer the team’s specific questions.Source 3 |
| Edge | Data scientists customize models and KPI mappings and build repeatable analyses for investment teams. | Custom models and proprietary inputs can be maintained within the team’s research workflow.Source 4 |
| Seeker | Data strategists examine live coverage statistics and historical KPI backtests before requesting vendor trials. | Use the coverage and performance evidence to prioritize evaluations rather than treating every catalog listing as equally relevant.Source 5 |
| Vendor partnerships | Data providers integrate their datasets and work with Exabel to demonstrate relevant investment use cases. | A distribution and analytical partnership; commercial data rights remain part of the vendor relationship.Source 6 |

Dataset discovery before licensing
| Capability | Published function | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Ticker standardisation | Align identifiers across sources. | Correct mapping still matters for each research universe.Source 8 |
| Brand reconciliation | Connect underlying brands with entities. | Brand and listed parent are different analytical levels.Source 8 |
| Backtest visibility | Inspect KPI performance for unlicensed datasets. | Does not grant access to the raw vendor data.Source 8 |
| Catalog comparisons | Dataset, company and watchlist-level comparisons. | A screening tool for data evaluation.Source 12 |

Programmatic and warehouse access
| Route | Documented function | Scope to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Python SDK | Exports signals, dashboards, financial models and prediction results; wraps the Data and Export APIs. | Current guidance recommends Import Jobs for entities, relationships and time series, and the SDK for resource types those jobs do not cover.Source 13 |
| Export API | Downloads platform data through REST or the Python SDK. | Requires an Exabel API key or access token; confirm the datasets and downstream use covered by the agreement.Source 14 |
| Import Jobs | Connects Snowflake or Google BigQuery to scheduled SQL-based imports into the customer’s private namespace. | The guide lists these two supported warehouses; its extensibility statement is not a promise that every other warehouse is already connected.Source 16 |

Enterprise and licensed-data components
| Component | Published scope |
|---|---|
| FactSet | Security master, daily prices, estimates and fundamentals described on the plans page.Source 11 |
| Visible Alpha | Requires the customer’s own licence.Source 11 |
| Vendor data | Own vendor licence required; Exabel says it adds no charge solely for access to those datasets.Source 11 |
| Enterprise access | API, MCP and bring-your-own-data features.Source 11 |
| SSO | Okta, Azure AD, ADFS and Google Workspace/SAML/OpenID routes listed.Source 11 |
Pricing
Sections ↑Core, Edge and Seeker are sold through contact-sales routes, without a public numeric tariff on the inspected plans page. The commercial discussion should specify seats, the chosen plan, enterprise access and professional services. Keep vendor-data and Visible Alpha licensing separate from the Exabel platform quote so the total research cost is clear.[11]
