Looking for a Preqin Alternative?

AlternativeSoft is a leading complement and alternative to Preqin for institutional allocators. Where Preqin is primarily a data provider, AlternativeSoft is an analytics platform that integrates Preqin data alongside Bloomberg, eVestment, HFR, Morningstar and Pitchbook — adding portfolio construction, peer group analysis, AI-powered due diligence and automated reporting. Many institutions use both; others use AlternativeSoft as a more affordable, analytics-rich alternative.

Preqin is the leading source of private equity benchmarking data. AlternativeSoft is an analytics platform that connects to Preqin data and adds portfolio construction, IRR/TVPI/PME calculation, peer group analysis and automated reporting. Most institutions use both — Preqin as the data source, AlternativeSoft as the analytics layer.

Yes. AlternativeSoft integrates with Preqin data via API alongside Bloomberg, eVestment, HFR, Morningstar and Pitchbook. Your Preqin data subscription feeds directly into AlternativeSoft's unified 500,000+ fund database.

AlternativeSoft calculates gross and net IRR, TVPI, DPI, RVPI, MOIC and PME (Kaplan-Schoar, modified PME and PME+) using Preqin and other data sources. Preqin provides the benchmark data; AlternativeSoft provides the calculation engine and portfolio analytics on top.

It depends on your needs. If your primary requirement is Preqin's proprietary LP/GP intelligence, fundraising data and PE market research, the platforms are complementary. If you need analytics, portfolio construction and due diligence workflow on top of fund data, AlternativeSoft can deliver those without a Preqin subscription using its 500k+ fund coverage and other data integrations.

Pricing for both platforms varies by usage, modules and client size. AlternativeSoft uses modular pricing — clients pay for the capabilities they actually use. Contact AlternativeSoft to discuss a package that fits your team's scope and budget.

AlternativeSoft has deeper hedge fund coverage and hedge-fund-specific analytics — peer group analysis, style and factor analysis, drawdown attribution and 4,000+ risk-adjusted statistics — through native integration with HFR, eVestment, Bloomberg and other hedge fund data sources alongside Preqin.

Most clients are running in 2 to 4 weeks. AlternativeSoft's onboarding team handles the integration with your existing Preqin subscription via API, configures factor models, and migrates existing portfolios. Dedicated implementation support is included.
