Preqin pricing

Preqin publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

As of 12 November 2026, Preqin has a free tier, and its other 2 tiers are priced on request. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Entry price: Free
Model: Quote
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

Preqin plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Preqin pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Free account	Free	3	Entry tier
Preqin Pro and data products	On request	3	Priced on request
Enterprise Data Solutions	On request	3	Priced on request

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Preqin MCP

People bring Preqin in for finding and qualifying lps to approach during a fundraise, manager selection and due diligence by lps and investment consultants, benchmarking fund performance against private market peer groups and indices, comparing fund terms such as fees against similar funds, forecasting capital calls and distributions for a private markets portfolio, feeding private markets data into a data warehouse or ai workflow. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Preqin are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

How that compares in Investment Analytics

Too few investment analytics tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Preqin badges page.

Before you pay for Preqin

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Preqin runs on web, api, and is published by Preqin, part of BlackRock of London, with offices including New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Bangalore. The full record is on the Preqin review, and the rest of the category is under best investment analytics tools.
