How much does alternative data cost? In this series of reports, we draw on our unique position in the industry and proprietary data on pricing to shed some light on this topic. This 4Q26 update of our three existing alternative data pricing trends reports provides fresh insight into the state of alternative data pricing.

The price of alternative data remains an important topic among both data providers and data buyers.

By analysing Neudata’s proprietary metadata from our catalogue of datasets, we aim to answer the following frequently asked questions:

• How much do datasets cost?
• Which factors influence the price of a dataset?
• Are funds actually willing to pay the price?

In this 4Q26 update, we:

• Refresh our analysis to determine whether the answers to the above questions have changed since 3Q22
• Provide additional findings on the changes we’ve seen in pricing trends
