Pricing: pay for the work, not a seat
Solo is $49 a month. Studio is $149 a month. Scale is sized and quoted for teams that need their category watched around the clock. Every plan puts an AI analyst on your competitors and your market - it surfaces the insights, builds the reports and takes the monitoring off your plate. No kickoff call, no seats to count.

How usage works
You pay for the work, not for seats. Solo and Studio each include a month of usage; the bigger the plan, the more competitors and the more often the analyst can watch. Need more in a given month, you can add usage at any time, and your existing work stays yours to read either way. Solo and Studio are monthly, and you can cancel any time. See the refund policy for the details.
