A free database of company competitors and market maps

A few months ago, we launched the Competitor Finder to help you map out the competitors of any company just by entering a website. It solved a specific problem: finding out who you are actually up against without spending hours on manual research.

Today, we are making that data even more accessible.

We just launched the Distill Competitor Database. It is a free, open directory of competitive landscapes for thousands of companies.

What it is

Instead of generating a list from scratch, you can now browse our complete, pre-built directory of market maps.

Whether you are looking at AI leaders like OpenAI, enterprise giants like Microsoft, or private startups, we have already mapped the market for you. You can browse the database to instantly find key players, industry peers, and direct competitors for thousands of organizations.

Every company page gives you a clean, curated list of competitors, complete with descriptions and website links. For example, our OpenAI market map instantly gives you the landscape of AI labs and foundation model developers, from Anthropic and DeepMind to Mistral and xAI.

Why we built it

Building a competitive landscape usually means piecing together scattered information across different tabs and spreadsheets.

Our Competitor Finder automated that process. But we realized that for the most frequently searched companies and industries, you should not even have to run a search. The data should just be there and ready to use.

This database is built for anyone who needs to understand a market fast:

• Corporate Strategy: Instantly map your competitive landscape and identify emerging threats.
• Management Consultants: Map out market landscapes quickly to accelerate commercial due diligence (DD) projects.
• Investment Bankers: Identify potential buyers and acquisition targets while understanding market positioning for pitch books.
• Investors: Build market maps for potential investments and spot similar companies to your current portfolio holdings.
• Sales & GTM: Find lookalike companies to build high-quality prospect lists.

Free and open to everyone

The Competitor Database is completely free to use. You do not need to create an account or log in to access the market maps.

Our business is selling intelligence and automation, not lists. We believe that knowing who your competitors are is just the baseline. The real work is staying on top of what those companies do next.

From a static list to live intelligence

Once you find your competitors in our database, Distill turns that static list into a 24/7 intelligence feed. You can take any market map and plug it directly into Distill to monitor every meaningful update. This includes product launches, press releases, LinkedIn posts, and media coverage. Everything is summarized and delivered to your inbox without the noise. Browse the Competitor Database here to find your market.
