# Kumo vs BizNexus

Which on-market deal aggregator should power your search?

## Choose Kumo

Choose Kumo for self-serve breadth: transparent pricing, a genuine free tier, and wide practical coverage for browsing on your own cadence.

## Choose BizNexus

Choose BizNexus if you want screened deal flow plus off-market origination bundled behind a sales process, and you're financing-ready enough to justify it.

## Side by side

| | Kumo | BizNexus |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What It Is | Aggregates on-market business-for-sale listings from thousands of brokerages and marketplaces into one deduplicated feed with saved searches and alerts. Pro is now sold on a coverage figure, real-time access to all 100,000+ deals, and the Ultimate tier bundles AI deal analysis (DealScreen.ai), BuyerFit scoring, broker activity tracking, SDE normalization and stress-test scenarios on top of the feed. | Deal-flow platform for lower-middle-market M&A that combines a vetted marketplace of broker listings, private submissions, and pre-CIM teasers with a paid off-market origination service (OmniSource) and buyer-broker matching. Buyers apply for membership; both sides are screened before getting access. Re-read August 2026: the front page now leads on AI-native infrastructure and on mandate-driven origination run for the buyer, rather than on the marketplace, so the self-serve half has moved further behind the service. |
| Category | Deal Aggregators | Deal Aggregators |
| Pricing Model | Freemium | Custom Pricing |
| What It Costs | Basic free (no credit card, but listings shown 30+ days old, and a BuyerProfile beta with two saved searches and unlimited mini screens); Pro $89/mo (list $100); Ultimate $149/mo (list $200); Enterprise custom. No commissions or success fees. | Pricing not published. The tiered membership page that carried the plan names is gone as of Aug 2026, and the access page that replaced it publishes no figures either. It offers a free community tier as the front door, an acquirer route where you "bring a mandate" and see what coverage looks like across off-market, pre-market and on-market, and an advisor route billed as buyer-paid with no cost to the advisor. All numbers are demo-gated, the OmniSource FAQ says only "fees are plan-specific, with a success-based component," and the vendor warns packages and pricing "routinely" change. Third-party guides historically described the marketplace as a small monthly fee, but no current figure appears on any vendor page. |
| Best For | Searchers who want full on-market coverage without checking a dozen marketplaces by hand | Well-capitalized, financing-ready buyers (funded searchers, holdcos, PE/family offices) who want aggregated broker deal flow plus outsourced off-market origination under one roof and don't mind a sales call and qualification process. Not for early-stage self-funded searchers who want cheap, transparent, self-serve listing search. |
| Where It Fits | Source & Screen Deals | Source & Screen Deals |
| Our Verdict | The default on-market aggregator for a reason: start free, then upgrade when alert speed starts costing you deals. | A legitimate, still-active deal-flow aggregator that has drifted upmarket and behind a sales process. Worth a demo if you're financing-ready and want off-market origination bundled with marketplace access, but self-funded searchers wanting transparent pricing and self-serve browsing should start elsewhere. |
