AI data offer checker: how does an offer compare?
Enter the offer and its main terms. The checker shows where the amount sits against what buyers publish for your industry, and the questions to put to the buyer.
In short
The AI data offer checker compares an offer for your company's data with the range buyers publish for your industry, and lists the license terms to ask about. You enter the amount in US dollars, the license type, term, payment timing and who pays for de-identification. Published ranges are ceilings, not quotes, so the checker shows how an offer compares rather than whether to accept it.
Key takeaways
- Mercor's published listings, as reported by ddiy.co, put payouts at $20,000 to $1.5 million per company across 11 of the 20 industries we track. The checker uses those figures, from our AI data price index.
- Published ranges are ceilings, not quotes. Reported sales have closed well below them, so the checker shows where an offer sits, not whether to take it.
- AIData.Broker, as quoted by Don't Do It Yourself, puts exclusive licenses at about 2.5 to 5 times a non-exclusive deal, and the checker uses that ratio to frame exclusivity.
- Term, payment timing and de-identification costs each come with specific questions to ask the buyer.

How the offer compares
Choose your industry and enter the amount offered to compare it with what buyers publish.
Published ranges are ceilings, not quotes. They cover a buyer's whole target market, and what any one company is offered depends on its rights position, the size and history of its records and how many buyers compete.
This tool compares an offer with published figures. It does not value your data or judge the offer, and it is not legal advice. Read the licensing agreement checklist with your own lawyer before you sign.
How the tool works
- 1
The amount is placed against the low and high ends of the published range for your industry: below it, in the lower, middle or upper third, or above the published ceiling.
- 2
Exclusive and non-exclusive offers are framed with AIData.Broker's 2.5 to 5 times ratio, as quoted by Don't Do It Yourself.
- 3
Perpetual or unstated terms, each payment timing and each de-identification cost arrangement add a short note and questions to ask the buyer.
- 4
Every note links to the licensing agreement checklist or the exclusivity guide.
