Marketplace meets direct licensing. Neither advertised amounts nor a public seller route establish what your business will receive.

If you already have a marketable data product, compare distribution rather than headline payouts: Datarade is marketplace, while Handshake AI is direct licensing. Listing or matching creates no purchase commitment; ask who actually signs and pays.
For your existing records, start with category fit: Datarade lists Broad dataset categories and AI-ready data products; Handshake AI lists AutoCAD, Figma, Gmail, Drive, NetSuite, Notion, QuickBooks, ServiceTitan and Slack. Ask each which subset has active demand before preparing exports.
Datarade: 3-minute application; 1–2 business-day review claimed; no first-sale/payout SLA Handshake AI: No numerical end-to-end payout timeline verified. These clocks measure different stages, not equivalent payout deadlines; ask for a written acceptance-to-payment interval.
Both routes need lawful rights to the material. Removing names does not remove confidentiality obligations or re-identification risk. Require sample approval, buyer-use restrictions, precise payment triggers and downstream retention/deletion terms.
Datarade: No independently verified operating-business seller payout found. Marketplace listing or matching is not a purchase commitment.
Handshake AI: No independently audited operating-business payout established in this research. Provider cases and partnership confirmations do not establish a typical seller outcome.
