Marketplace meets specialist 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 Protege is specialist licensing. Listing or matching creates no purchase commitment; ask who actually signs and pays.
For specialist healthcare or media rights, Protege's published categories and Gradient Health case are more relevant than ordinary CRM exports. Datarade lists Broad dataset categories and AI-ready data products. Do not extrapolate specialist case revenue to a small operating business.
Datarade: 3-minute application; 1–2 business-day review claimed; no first-sale/payout SLA Protege: Active opportunities often fulfilled under a month; fulfillment is not seller payment timing. 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.
Protege: Gradient Health seller-hosted announcement corroborates partnership and imaging supply, not revenue. Provider-hosted case claims seven-figure revenue; no independently audited receipt.
