micro1 vs Nyne: two buyers advertising to the same owners
If you run a firm of 20 to 200 people, you have probably seen ads from both. Both pay companies for a copy of their records. micro1 is the bigger company, quoting $100K-$2M+ for firms with 30+ employees. Nyne, a seed-stage startup, says its deals are commonly worth $100K or more, takes firms with 20+ US W-2 staff, and promises to beat a qualifying written offer.1,2,3,4,5

Using both
Using one offer to test the other
Nyne's beat-an-offer promise only counts a written offer for the same data and rights, compared on the cash you actually receive, and estimates or up-to figures do not qualify. A written micro1 offer would count, and micro1's published terms are nonexclusive, which leaves room to license elsewhere.11,12
