Triple vs Altrata (RelSci, Wealth-X, Boardroom Insiders): which is right for your team?

TL;DR

Altrata (the combined brand for RelSci, Wealth-X, and Boardroom Insiders) is the premium relationship-intelligence suite for enterprise nonprofits. Its UHNW and executive datasets are genuinely deep. Triple is an AI-native alternative that unifies capacity, affinity, propensity, and relationship data into one workflow at a fraction of the onboarding complexity.

Choose Altrata when deep UHNW data and executive-relationship graphs are mission-critical and you have the researcher headcount to extract value from three separate data products. Choose Triple when you want 80% of that coverage unified in one AI-native workflow at a materially lower total cost.

What is Altrata?

Altrata is a portfolio of premium data products formed by combining RelSci (relationship intelligence), Wealth-X (ultra-high-net-worth data), and Boardroom Insiders (executive profiles). Each product is respected in its niche: Wealth-X for UHNW research, RelSci for relationship maps among corporate boards and executives, Boardroom Insiders for deep biographies of Fortune 1000 executives. Large university advancement shops and big healthcare foundations are the typical customers.

Strengths: best-in-class UHNW data; deep relationship mapping among executives and boards; robust for enterprise workflows and institutional-gift cultivation. Weaknesses: expensive; complex to onboard across three products; typically requires dedicated researcher headcount to extract value; workflow remains research-led rather than fundraiser-led.

What is Triple?

Triple is a donor intelligence platform designed so any fundraiser — not just a trained researcher — can pull a complete brief in minutes. It combines the categories Altrata splits across three products (wealth, relationships, executive context) into one workflow, continuously refreshed and searchable in natural language.

Feature comparison

When Altrata is the right call

• You actively pursue multiple nine-figure prospects where UHNW depth is decisive.
• You have the research headcount to integrate three data products into a workflow.
• Executive relationship maps (who-knows-whom in corporate America) drive your cultivation strategy.
• Your organization already sits in the Altrata ecosystem and replacing it is not on the table.

When Triple is the right call

• You want most of Altrata's coverage unified in one AI-native workflow.
• Three enterprise contracts is not something you can or want to justify.
• Fundraisers should drive the tool without needing researcher support for every brief.
• Continuous enrichment and on-demand briefs matter more than the absolute ceiling on UHNW depth.

Pricing

Altrata's combined suite typically lands between the mid five figures and low six figures annually for enterprise accounts. Triple is usually a fraction of that as a single platform subscription scaled to team size.

Frequently asked questions

Does Triple have UHNW data as deep as Wealth-X?

For the top 1,000 US households, Wealth-X often has biographical and philanthropic detail Triple does not attempt to match. For the next 100,000 households — which is where most major-gift pipelines live — Triple's coverage is comparable, and it is refreshed continuously rather than re-researched.

Can Triple replace RelSci for relationship mapping?

Triple includes relationship context in briefs — shared board service, co-investments, fellow trustees — which covers most of the RelSci use case for fundraising. It does not aim to be a general-purpose executive-relationship graph the way RelSci is.

Can we use Altrata and Triple together?

Yes — a common pattern is to keep Wealth-X for the top 100 UHNW prospects and run Triple across the rest of the pipeline for continuous enrichment and brief generation.

The bottom line

Altrata is the heavyweight data suite. Triple is the unified workflow. If your bottleneck is data depth at the UHNW tier, Altrata delivers it. If your bottleneck is fundraiser productivity and research speed, Triple wins.
