New Site Radar vs CB Insights
Disclosure: we build New Site Radar. Everything below about CB Insights comes from its public pages as we read them on October 6, 2026 (sources at the bottom). Products change; if something here is out of date, email hello@newsiteradar.com and we will fix it.
CB Insights is a private-company and market intelligence product whose Strategy Terminal application includes AI search, predictive scoring and research. New Site Radar ranks AI tool websites registered in 2025 or later that are gaining traffic, monthly.

When CB Insights is the better fit
- You need AI search across 1,600+ markets and 12 million companies.
- You want predictive scoring for growth momentum, commercial maturity and exit probability.
When New Site Radar is the better fit
- You want AI tool sites that launched recently and are starting to grow, before they are well known.
- You want to know how far to trust each number: every figure is checked against a second source where one exists, and the evidence is on the site page (see the methodology).
- You want to query the data from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex over MCP.
Try it: the growth rankings have a free monthly sample, and Pro shows the full board.
For Aug 2026, Pro shows all 228 sites on the monthly rising board; the free plan shows a 20-site sample.
