Checked October 22, 2026. A minimum is a published rule, not a wall: buyers make exceptions for unusual records, and a published floor is not an offer.
Before you apply anywhere, check your fit with every buyer first. Once you apply to one buyer you are in its process. Our estimate takes about a minute, never asks for a file, and tells you which buyers your company fits. It costs nothing. See which buyers fit your company.
Under 30 people: where to start
- A law firm with 6 to 29 people: Mode first. No other named buyer publishes a minimum that low for law.
- A CPA, finance or medical practice with 10 to 29: Mode first, then Handshake and Pewter from 20.
- Any other company with 20 to 29: Handshake, Pewter and Replay all start at 20. Grepped and Polyshares publish no minimum.
- Under 20: Grepped, Polyshares and Nyne publish no minimum, and Scale's $10K floor means it does small deals. Expect the low end of every range.

See what my data is worth →What small companies actually get paid
Replay is the only buyer that publishes a number by headcount: $10,000 to $100,000 for 20 to 50 staff. Jottings' lowest published band is $100,000 to $250,000 for an Illinois accounting firm. The reported median offer across the market is $336,000 (aidata.broker), and that median is mostly companies of 30 to 150 people. What a 10, 25 and 50-person company's data is worth.
What moves the number more than headcount
Years of records and connected systems. A 12-person firm with ten years of one system can out-earn a 40-person company with two years of five, and every buyer's page says some version of that. Walk in with the data inventory filled in and the size question gets smaller.
Briggs Analytics is independent. Some buyers named on this page may pay Briggs Analytics a referral fee, and owners never pay us anything. Every figure comes from the buyer's own page or the source linked next to it, checked October 22, 2026. Buyers change their terms often, so confirm on their page before you sign. Disclosures
In short
- Mode: law firms from 6, accounting, finance and medical from 10. The lowest published minimums.
- Handshake, Pewter and Replay from 20. micro1 from 30. Scale prefers 40 but publishes a $10K floor.
- Grepped, Polyshares, Nyne and Jottings publish no minimum. Years of records matter more than headcount.
