Data Boutique is a web-scraped data marketplace that makes it easy and safe to buy data. Many companies choose to hire external consultants for web scraping rather than searching for pre-scraped data because selling data independently can be challenging. The price of data is constrained as buyers have alternatives and pricing datasets correctly can be difficult. The marketplace model solves this stalemate and allows buyers to find reliable data providers, audit the data, negotiate terms, and seamlessly purchase and refresh data. Consumption-based pricing is the best way to align buyer’s and seller’s interests, and executing on the data is made easier through the marketplace. This model benefits both buyers and sellers and creates a larger market for data. Data Boutique is a sustainable, ethical, high-quality web data exchange community.
