Troveo alternatives: who else takes company data
The short answer
Troveo alternatives include micro1 and Handshake AI, which publish minimums and payment ranges, Mercor with 100+ tool connectors, Replay, which pays upfront plus a revenue share, Polyshares, which pays per license, and SimpleClosure for closing startups. Every figure is self-reported, and none is an offer.
Troveo runs a marketplace that licenses company data to buyers for a revenue share. How its program works is in Troveo business data. The options below take company records in other ways.
Which Troveo alternatives publish their terms?
micro1, Handshake AI, Mercor, Replay, Polyshares and SimpleClosure each publish a size floor, a pay model or both on their own pages. Troveo states no minimum, and its estimator starts at 20 employees.
| Buyer or program | Minimum size | Stated range | Pay model | Payment timing | What you keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| micro1 | 30+ employees, US first | Tiers of $100K+, $500K+, $1M+ | Paid under the agreed partnership | Not published | Companies keep ownership |
| Handshake AI | 20+ full-time staff, 3+ years | $100K to $4M+ | License fee | 30 to 60 days after dataset acceptance | Not published |
| Mercor | None stated | Up to $300K, press report | One wire, no fees to you | 2 to 4 weeks after signing | Not published |
| Replay | Bands start at 20 employees | $10K to $1M+ by headcount | Upfront plus revenue share | Upfront, then on each license | License only, nothing transferred |
| Polyshares | None stated | $100K to $2M+ | License fee, no commission | Net 30 to 60 after approval | You keep data, exclusive by default |
| SimpleClosure Asset Hub | None stated, closing or operating | $10K to $100K per company, press | A percentage on a sale or license | Not published | Perpetual license to SimpleClosure |
Every figure is the company's own claim unless marked press. Terms change, so confirm on each company's page.
Which Troveo alternative also shares revenue?
Replay is the closest match. It pays upfront plus a revenue share of every license, where Troveo pays only a share of each sale. Replay also publishes headcount bands, starting at $10K to $100K for 20 to 50 employees.
The two are compared line by line in our Replay review.
What if the company is closing?
SimpleClosure AssetHub licenses source code and workspace data from startups that are winding down. Gizmodo reported nearly 100 deals at $10,000 to $100,000 per company.
Its AssetHub page says it takes a percentage only when assets are sold or licensed, and publishes no rate. See SimpleClosure Asset Hub. A free listing board, BuyMyDeadStartup, is also an option.
What about sites that don't name a buyer?
Some sites collect your details and pass you to a partner they don't name, or publish no terms you can read. Ask who the buyer is before you share anything. Our red flags page lists what to check.
Marketplaces such as Defined.ai and Datarade list packaged datasets, a different lane from company archives. See Defined AI data marketplace.
How should a company choose between Troveo and the alternatives?
Ask each one the same questions: who is the legal entity, who receives the data, what share do I keep, and who holds liability if a recipient is breached. The buyers directory and deals tracker keep the dated facts, and the rights check comes before any of them.
