ITjuzi

ITjuzi is a China-focused venture investment data service that collects and analyzes publicly available information. Its coverage includes Chinese companies, investment events, VC investors and investment-related news, and the company says it updates data daily. Analysis combines equity transactions, company operating information and news intelligence to examine industry trends, financing rounds and investor comparisons. Users can download company, investment-event, institution and report data using Juzi coins. Juzi Radar can monitor selected companies, institutions and industries, though the user guide says users can follow three of 18 industries. The service also offers an API, for which use requires a team with technical engineers. Custom datasets can be delivered in Excel, CSV, MySQL or JSON, with incremental updates scheduled daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly. ITjuzi is available on Android, iOS, web and API. It has a free plan; membership plans are CN¥108 a month, CN¥298, paid once and CN¥798, paid once.

ITjuzi combines company and investment coverage with downloads, monitoring and custom data delivery. Consider the Juzi coin download costs and API engineering requirement when deciding how to use it.

ITjuzi may suit market observers, VCs and investors, and government or research organizations looking at Chinese companies and investment activity. API access is aimed at teams with technical engineers.

Overview

ITjuzi is a China-focused venture investment data service for tracking companies, funding activity, investors, and investment news. It is best suited to VCs, investors, market observers, and research or government organizations following Chinese markets. Its combination of company data and monitoring supports ongoing research, while paid download allowances and API engineering needs make it a less straightforward fit for occasional or nontechnical users.

Key features

ITjuzi covers Chinese companies, investment events, VC investors, and investment-related news. It combines equity transactions, company operating information, and news intelligence to analyze industry trends, financing rounds, and investor comparisons. The company says it updates data daily, which makes the service more relevant to recurring market tracking than to a one-time directory lookup.

Company profiles, founder profiles, funding data, and advanced search support discovery and diligence. Juzi Radar monitors selected companies, institutions, and industries, but industry monitoring is limited to three of 18 industries. That cap supports a focused watchlist, not broad sector coverage.

Users can download company, investment-event, institution, and report data, with each download consuming Juzi coins at category-specific rates. Custom datasets can be delivered in Excel, CSV, MySQL, or JSON, with incremental updates scheduled daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. These options suit teams with defined reporting or data workflows. API access is also offered, but it requires technical engineers, so it is a poor fit for teams expecting a plug-and-play export.

The app privacy policy says account passwords are encrypted and identifies phone numbers, passwords, identity documents, location, browsing history, and payment information among sensitive information it may process. The user guide directs members to WeChat customer service 小桔妹 for product inquiries and download support.

Pricing

ITjuzi uses a freemium model with a free plan, but the paid membership tiers specify Juzi coin download allowances that determine how much data users can export. Company downloads cost 5 coins per record, investment events 1 coin, institutions 2 coins, and reports 1–50 coins each. The report cost range means the coin balance can go different distances depending on the report.

• Free plan: Free access is available, but its download allowance and other caps are not given. It is the low-commitment way to assess the service, though teams planning regular exports should compare their needs against the paid coin budgets.
• 月会员: CN¥108 a month, billed 108元/月, with 500 Juzi coins. This suits short-term or lighter download needs, but the smallest coin budget makes it the least accommodating tier for repeated exports.
• 季会员: CN¥298, paid once, billed 298元/季（合99元/月）, with 3,000 coins. It lowers the stated monthly equivalent versus the monthly tier and offers six times its coin allowance, making it a better fit for a sustained research project.
• 年会员: CN¥798, paid once, billed 798元/年（合66元/月）, with 15,000 coins. This is the largest allowance and lowest stated monthly equivalent, suited to teams expecting ongoing use; the tradeoff is paying for the year upfront.

All three paid tiers use the same per-item coin costs, so the practical difference is the amount of downloadable data covered by the allowance. No seat limits or renewal terms are given.

Platforms

ITjuzi is available on Android, iOS, and web, with API access for teams that can support the engineering work it requires.

Who it's for

Choose ITjuzi if your work centers on Chinese companies and investment activity and you need profiles, funding information, investor coverage, monitoring, or recurring data delivery. It is less suitable for casual users who need frequent downloads without managing coin consumption, or for organizations without technical staff to use the API.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Company, funding, investor, and news coverage are combined with analysis of financing rounds and industry trends, supporting broader market research than company lookup alone.
• Pro: Custom delivery supports four formats and four update schedules, giving data teams options that fit different pipelines.
• Pro: The annual tier bundles 15,000 download coins at a stated equivalent of 66元/月, useful for sustained export-heavy work.
• Con: Downloads draw from category-specific coin rates, and reports can cost 1–50 coins each; users must account for consumption rather than treating the allowance as a fixed number of records.
• Con: Juzi Radar limits industry monitoring to three of 18 industries, which constrains broad sector surveillance.
• Con: API use requires technical engineers, limiting its practicality for nontechnical teams.

Verdict

ITjuzi is the stronger fit for investors and research teams that need continuing coverage of Chinese companies and financing activity, especially when monitoring and structured data delivery are part of the work. Its daily updates and broad investment coverage are the main reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if you need uncapped sector monitoring, predictable per-record export costs without coin accounting, or API access that does not depend on engineering support.
