Author Earnings offers a free public, global view of the data.
Datastat sells full, real time, detailed data to "select" customers.
Where "select" = Publishing company with over $10M in annual revenues.
It most definitely offers title by title, author by author data and the tradpub establishment paying for it has no doubt about its accuracy. Neither do the dozens (hundreds?) of authors, indie and tradpub, who are upset at being both exposed by that data and being locked out of seeing it.
All the evidence, from Shatzkin citing it as gospel to the money it is generating to the concern from authors says the data is real enough. and so is the abstracted global view the public sees.
Deniers notwithstanding.
