Competitive intelligence tools

Last updated: January [email protected]

mailto:[email protected]

• Assembled here are over 300 competitive intelligence tools.

• Most of these are tools we have used ourselves at one time or another.

• We looked at 5,000+ tools from which we chose this shortlist. Not included are tools that may be interesting or look good, but provide no real usefulness. If we have not used them in our ten years of competitive intelligence, chances are that they are of little practical value.

• We will update this list regularly.
