I posted this on SEO and only got one response, assuming that was not the right group.
Is this a good idea and can it be done with WordFence on WordPress?
I understand these companies provide information to competitors. What other sites would you block?
I understand it may slow down the site because of loading the block?
If not WORDFENCE, then what application is best?
TIA

Don’t block them. Those tools might be valuable for you one day.
I block those 2 and Yandex on all my sites. It is just useless crawling because I dont use their tools and they get pretty agressive. You can follow this guide to add a few lines of code to your robot.txt file https://www.searchenginejournal.com/prevent-bot-crawling/450430/
