What is my company's data worth to AI buyers?
What your company's data is worth to AI buyers, five factors buyers may consider, and who makes the offer. Apply once to see every buyer that fits.
Company data is worth what an AI data buyer offers to license it, and buyers publish pay ranges of $10,000 to over $3 million for company data. Fill in one application and we check your company against every buyer we work with. Each buyer decides whether to make an offer, and how much, based on your records.
This guide is for companies licensing their own business records, not for individuals. Buyers may consider five things when setting an offer: how much data you have, how unique it is, the rights you hold, its quality and depth, and the personal information in it.
Free. About 9 questions: industry, size, records. Compare any offers before you sign.
No files and no company records are needed to start. A buyer may pay us a referral reward.
What do buyers consider when they set an offer?
- How much data you have. Buyers may consider how many records you have and how many years they cover. Example: a law firm’s closed matter files from many years and many matters.
- How unique it is. Buyers may consider whether anyone else holds records like yours. Example: a manufacturer’s own production, maintenance and inspection records.
- The rights you hold. You need the rights to license the records. Exclusive rights can change the price and limit licensing the same data again for that scope. Example: a consulting firm’s client deliverables, which many client contracts keep confidential.
- Quality and depth. Buyers may consider quality, and whether the records are complete rather than fragments. Example: a codebase with its full commit and review history, not only the final code.
- Personal information. Personal information may need to be removed or transformed, and the buyer may set privacy terms. Example: recorded customer calls, which hold callers’ voices and details. Ask each buyer what it removes or transforms, and when.

The first buyer buys everyday work records, like email, documents and project histories. Each buyer decides whether to make an offer, and how much, based on your records.
Who makes the offer?
The buyer. Each buyer reviews your company and your records, then decides whether to make an offer, and how much. Each buyer sets its own price, so the same records can get different offers. OpenTrain does not set the price, and you pay OpenTrain nothing.
Compare any offers and their terms before you sign. Read the license terms to ask about.
How do you find out what your company’s data is worth?
- List your records, how many years they cover and which tools hold them. See what buyers ask for in a data room.
- Check your rights to each set, including records that belong to clients.
- Apply to the buyers that fit, and let each one review your company and decide on an offer. Through OpenTrain you apply once, and we check your company against every buyer we work with.
- Compare the offers and the terms before you sign with one or none.

How OpenTrain finds buyers for your company
AI data buyers pay for the right to use copies of a company's everyday work records, like email, chat and documents, under a signed license. Answer a few questions. One form covers every buyer we work with, so you don't apply to each one. When you send your answers, you ask us to check your company against each buyer's requirements and send the company and contact details you give us to every buyer that fits. We email you within 24 hours to name each one. Each buyer reviews your company and may make an offer, and you decide whether to sign.
Each buyer makes its own decision about every company and may decline or may not contact you.
If a buyer credits your referral, the buyer may pay us a referral reward. You license the records directly to the buyer. OpenTrain does not receive, store or sell those records.

Common questions about what company data is worth
Is there a price per record or per gigabyte?
No. The ranges on this page are not per record or per gigabyte. Each buyer sets its offer after it reviews your records.
Can I get a number for my company before I apply?
Only from a buyer, after it reviews your company. The ranges on this page are what buyers publish.
Does licensing to one buyer lower what the next buyer pays?
Only if you grant exclusive rights. A non-exclusive license leaves you free to license the same records again.
What does OpenTrain cost?
Nothing. If a buyer credits your referral, it may pay us a referral reward.
Find buyers that fit your company
One form covers every buyer we work with. Your details go to the buyers that fit only when you send your answers. Nothing is licensed unless you say yes.
Disclosure: OpenTrain is an independent referrer. If a buyer we match you with credits your company's referral, that buyer may pay OpenTrain a referral reward. You pay OpenTrain nothing. We never receive or hold the data your company licenses. We keep the company and contact details you give us. When you submit the form, you ask us to send them to AI data buyers that fit, and we email you to name each buyer we send them to.
