Bizzy vs Trends Top: which Belgian B2B database wins?

An honest breakdown of two of Belgium's best-known company databases. What each does well, where each falls short, and what to actually use for daily sales prospecting.

Bizzy

Modern search interface

Strengths: clean modern UX, fresh data pipeline, ICP-style filtering, per-company URLs indexed by Google, freemium tier.

Weaknesses: no daily ranked prospect delivery, peer comparison by sector is limited, no NBB signal history depth, no Staatsblad mandate tracking.

Trends Top

Research & rankings

Strengths: deep NBB financial analyses, iconic sector rankings (Klassementen), decades of historical data, respected in Belgian financial press.

Weaknesses: dated UX, annual license model, built for research not prospecting workflow, no daily prospect delivery, minimal peer comparison by sector.

Pick Bizzy if…

  • You want a search-and-filter UI without configuration overhead.
  • You occasionally look up companies rather than prospect daily.
  • Modern UX matters more to your team than deep analyses.

Pick Trends Top if…

  • You need historical NBB financial analyses across multiple years.
  • Sector rankings (Klassementen) are part of your research or PR workflow.
  • You're in finance, research, or journalism rather than sales.

Or consider Prospexi

Both tools are good, but built for different jobs than daily sales prospecting

Prospexi combines Bizzy's modern UX with data depth beyond Trends Top, adding company events from the Belgisch Staatsblad, Flemish subsidies, and public procurement wins into a single ICP score. Every one of 1.18M Belgian companies ranked daily against your buyer profile. Companies in bankruptcy, dissolution or judicial reorganisation drop off the Prospexi list automatically, because the Belgian Official Gazette is read every working day. Prospexi does not hand you another database to search: it ranks all 1.18 million Belgian companies against your mandate and says per company why it sits where it does, weighing acquisition signals a credit score never shows, such as capital increases, board changes and a profit sliding at an otherwise healthy company.

Get started

From 1,179,575 Belgian companies, Prospexi surfaces the ones that match your mandate, with the reasoning attached.

Frequently asked

  • What's the difference between Bizzy and Trends Top?

    Bizzy is a modern search interface for Belgian company data with filtering and ICP-style targeting. Trends Top is an older Belgian business database best known for annual sector rankings (Klassementen) and financial analyses. Bizzy targets modern financial advisors; Trends Top targets research, finance, and journalism use cases.

  • Which is cheaper, Bizzy or Trends Top?

    Both are subscription tools with tier-based pricing. Bizzy tends to price on team seats and usage; Trends Top typically sells annual licenses per user. Actual cost depends on your team size and usage, request quotes from both. For a 3-10 person Belgian sales team, Prospexi's flat €349-€799/month with unlimited seats is materially cheaper than either.

  • Which has better data coverage?

    Both draw from the same underlying Belgian public sources (KBO / BCE registry, NBB annual accounts). Bizzy's modern data pipeline gives fresher signals; Trends Top's depth in historical analyses is stronger. Neither goes as deep as Prospexi does on Belgisch Staatsblad publications, Flemish subsidies, and public procurement wins.

  • Is there a better alternative to both?

    For daily sales prospecting specifically, Prospexi combines the modern UX of Bizzy with data depth beyond either, adding Staatsblad company events, Flemish subsidies, and procurement signals into a single per-company ICP score with daily ranked shortlists.
