Tanjing Is Not a High-End Qichacha | Generated by AI
Question: Is 探迹 (Tanjing) a high-end 企查查 (Qichacha)?
Answer:
Short answer: not exactly. They overlap, but they are solving different problems.
企查查 is mainly a business intelligence / company database product:
- Search any company
- Ownership structure
- Legal representative
- Investment relationships
- Risk information
- Patents, trademarks
- Litigation
- Business registration data
Think:
“Who is this company? Is it trustworthy? What is its background?”
探迹 is closer to AI-powered B2B sales intelligence / lead generation, not simply a premium company lookup database.
Think:
“Which companies should I sell to, who should I contact, and how do I close them?”
Typical capabilities:
Enterprise data

AI profiling

Sales automation

CRM workflow
Example:
A machinery manufacturer wants to find new customers.
企查查:
Search:
"Guangdong manufacturing companies"
↓
Get company list
探迹:
Input:
"We sell industrial robots"
AI finds:
- factories expanding production
- companies hiring automation engineers
- companies importing equipment
- decision makers
- contact channels
Then:
- generate sales leads
- recommend outreach
- manage pipeline
A better analogy:
| Product | Category | Main user |
|---|---|---|
| 企查查 | Enterprise information database | Investors, lawyers, procurement, sales researchers |
| 探迹 | AI sales intelligence platform | B2B sales teams |
| 天眼查 | Similar to 企查查 | General enterprise search |
| Apollo.io | Global equivalent of 探迹 | SDR/sales teams |
| ZoomInfo | Enterprise-grade sales intelligence | Large sales organizations |
So a more accurate description:
探迹 = 中国版 ZoomInfo + AI sales agent 企查查 = 中国版 company registry + risk database
They may use similar underlying enterprise data, but the product layer is different.
The interesting AI angle is:
Old workflow:
Sales person
↓
Search companies manually
↓
Export Excel
↓
Find contacts
↓
Call/email
AI-native workflow:
Agent:
"I sell GPU servers. Find me 500 Chinese companies likely to buy."
LLM + enterprise graph + web crawler:
↓
ICP matching
↓
lead ranking
↓
personalized outreach
↓
CRM update
This is the direction companies like 探迹 are moving toward. It is closer to AI agent for sales than “high-end 企查查.”
