How it compares with a broker

A marketplace lists data for many buyers, usually on non-exclusive terms. A broker works one deal at a time, often for private data that should not be listed publicly, and can negotiate exclusivity. Read broker vs marketplace.

Things to check before you sign

  • For sellers: the revenue share, payment timing and whether you can set a floor price.
  • Whether the marketplace takes a copy of your data, and who it can sell it to.
  • Exclusivity: listing on a marketplace usually means non-exclusive.
  • For buyers: provenance documentation and consent records for each dataset.
