Comparing Recorded Future for threat intelligence?
Recorded Future is one of the largest threat intelligence platforms, built for enterprises with the budget and team to operate it. If you want tailored, finished intelligence that is affordable and delivered for you, here is how Liberty91 compares.
Start for FreeWhat Recorded Future is good at.
Recorded Future is a category leader for good reason. It operates an enormous scale of real-time collection across the open, deep, and dark web, pairs it with strong analytics and research, and gives a well-resourced team a comprehensive platform to work. For a large enterprise or government function with analysts to run it, the breadth of data and the depth of research are genuine strengths.
The thing to weigh is whether that scale matches your situation. A comprehensive enterprise platform rewards a team that can operate it; if you want finished intelligence tailored to you without that overhead, a different model may serve you better.
At a glance.
A fair, side-by-side read of where each one puts its emphasis.
| Recorded Future | Liberty91 | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | A large-scale, real-time threat intelligence platform with broad data collection and analytics across the open, deep, and dark web. | An end-to-end platform that runs the lifecycle for you and produces finished, tailored intelligence per organisation. |
| Best fit for | Large enterprises and government teams with the budget and the analysts to operate a comprehensive intelligence platform. | MSSPs and mid-market teams that want tailored, finished intelligence without enterprise scale or a dedicated team. |
| Tailoring model | A large body of data and dashboards your analysts query, tune, and build views on. | Self-maintaining Intelligence Requirements per organisation, so relevance is assessed for that specific organisation by default. |
| What you operate | Your team works the platform: building views, running queries, and turning the data into finished products. | The lifecycle runs for you, and your analysts review and direct rather than carrying collection and production. |
| MSSP and white-label | Used by some service providers, though not primarily positioned as a white-label, per-customer service. | Multi-tenant by design, with white-label sender, email templates, and report PDFs, priced per customer. |
| Pricing model | Enterprise, quote-based, positioned at the larger-budget end of the market. | Designed to be affordable and accessible, priced per organisation, with a free tier on the way for individual analysts. |
Where Liberty91 is different.
Accessible, not enterprise-only
Making real threat intelligence affordable for organisations that historically could not access it is the reason Liberty91 exists. It is priced per organisation, with a free tier for analysts on the way, rather than an enterprise commitment you make before you have proven the value.
Tailored to each organisation
Each organisation runs on its own self-maintaining Intelligence Requirements derived from its assets, suppliers, sector, and geography. The relevance call is made for that organisation by default, so you get its threats rather than a large stream you still have to filter.
Finished intelligence, and a multiplier for your team
Liberty91 produces finished reports, IOC lists, Sigma rules, and STIX bundles, surfaced, prioritised, and drafted in real time. It does not replace your analysts; it lets the team you have cover far more, faster, and spend its time on judgement rather than collection.
White-label delivery for MSSPs
Run it across a whole customer base under your own brand. White-label the sender, the email templates, and the report PDFs, and prove delivery per customer through Mailroom's auditable Sent log.
When Liberty91 is likely the better fit.
Liberty91 tends to be the stronger choice when you want finished, tailored intelligence delivered affordably, rather than an enterprise-scale platform to operate. That suits MSSPs serving many customers under their own brand, and mid-market teams, or individual analysts, who want intelligence mapped to their own assets and suppliers without an enterprise budget or a dedicated team.
If your situation genuinely calls for the largest possible scale of data and research, and you have the team and budget to work it, a platform like Recorded Future is built for exactly that. Both are valid; it depends on the scale you need and the resources you have.
