Frequently asked questions
Does D&B use PACER data for bankruptcy alerts?
D&B aggregates data from multiple sources. Unlike CaseWarn – which monitors CourtListener (a real-time PACER mirror) daily – D&B's insolvency data may be delayed by days or weeks depending on their data pipeline.
How much does Dun & Bradstreet cost?
D&B doesn't publish pricing publicly. Based on third-party procurement data, entry-level Finance Analytics contracts start around $10,000/year. CaseWarn starts at $9/mo ($108/year) with transparent self-serve pricing.
I already use D&B for credit scores – do I still need CaseWarn?
Possibly. If your D&B plan includes insolvency alerts and they arrive before the trustee letter, you may be covered. But check whether D&B's bankruptcy data is US-court-sourced and how quickly it arrives – many D&B users find the alerts lag behind by several days.
