SPEEDA is the flagship business-intelligence platform from Tokyo-based Uzabase. It covers 10M+ companies globally, with best-in-class Japan and ASEAN coverage, and is used in 1,700+ companies across 16 countries. Buyers are typically strategy, corporate-development, investment, R&D, and procurement teams at enterprises operating in or investing into APAC.

SPEEDA does not publish pricing — their Asia pricing page exposes a 'Request free trial' and 'Ask pricing' button, nothing more. Capterra reviewers (33 reviews, 4.3/5 average) consistently flag costs as 'fairly high,' particularly for custom reports and the add-on SPEEDA Edge emerging-tech research product. There is no free plan; a trial is available on request.

SPEEDA Edge is a newer subscription-only research hub targeted at VC, corp strategy, and M&A teams covering 1,000+ emerging industries. It is sold separately from the core SPEEDA terminal.

How to Negotiate Speeda Pricing

Speeda contracts are negotiable. These 4 tactics are sourced from real buyer experiences and procurement specialists.

Negotiation Playbook 4 tactics
Use the free trial to time-box scope validation high success

SPEEDA offers a free trial with download limits. Use it to precisely map which data you need before committing, so you don't over-buy seats or research hours.

Uzabase pricing page
Unbundle custom research from terminal seats medium success

Custom reports are explicitly where pricing is 'quite high' per reviewers. Keep custom-research hours as a separate negotiated pool rather than per-report, so you can draw down as needed without surprise line-items.

Capterra review feedback
RFP against S&P Capital IQ and Bloomberg for APAC coverage medium success

SPEEDA's differentiator is APAC depth. Force the procurement comparison against CapIQ/Bloomberg on APAC coverage specifically — Uzabase knows they win on that axis and will concede on price.

Industry convention
Bundle SPEEDA + SPEEDA Edge on single contract medium success

If you need both terminal and emerging-tech research, asking for a combined SOW is better leverage than two separate agreements.

Speeda Pricing FAQ

01 How much does SPEEDA cost?

SPEEDA does not publish pricing. Capterra reviewers consistently describe it as 'fairly high,' particularly for customized reports, but specific ranges are not public. Contact Uzabase directly (sp-asia.mktgroup@uzabase.com) for a quote.

02 Is there a free plan?

No free plan. A free trial is available on request, with download limits on some data. No free tier is listed on Capterra or the Uzabase pricing page.

03 What's the difference between SPEEDA and SPEEDA Edge?

SPEEDA is the core company/industry/M&A research terminal with 10M+ companies. SPEEDA Edge is a separate subscription focused on emerging industries (1,000+) for VC, corp strategy, and M&A teams — sold as its own product, not bundled.

04 How good is the non-APAC coverage?

Reviewers consistently note limited coverage outside Japan and Asia. Global firms typically pair SPEEDA with a Western terminal (CapIQ, PitchBook, or Bloomberg) rather than replacing them.

05 What's included beyond the platform subscription?

Contract research hours for custom research requests and monthly report subscriptions are available on top of base subscription. These are priced separately and drive much of the 'high cost' complaint.
