What's the difference between the $29 unlock and a subscription?
The $29 unlock is a one-time payment for a single AT RISK report — no account required. It's for someone who wants to see their results right now without committing to a subscription. A subscription (Essentials+) saves all your vendors to an account, tracks changes over time, adds new vendors, connects your bank account, and builds a full history. If you have more than one vendor or want to come back monthly, a subscription delivers 10x more value.
How does Franchisor pricing work exactly?
Franchisor plans are priced by the number of active locations in your network — not per user or per seat. Starter covers up to 10 locations at $299/mo. Growth covers up to 50 locations at $599/mo. Enterprise (51+) is custom annual pricing. You can add or remove locations as your network changes. Annual contracts receive additional discounts and a dedicated account manager.
What is Vendor Intelligence and how does it work?
Vendor Intelligence is for solution providers — POS companies, payroll processors, insurance carriers, etc. — who want to identify which franchise brands are overpaying in their category. VIQ aggregates anonymized spend and benchmark data across our network and surfaces "AT RISK" signals by brand, region, and system size. Think of it as ZoomInfo for franchise vendor spend — except the leads are warm because they're already in pain. Vendor Pro subscribers also appear in our remediation recommendations when a brand is AT RISK in your category.
How does the RFP module work and what does it cost?
The RFP module is free to use as a buyer on any subscription. You define your vendor category, scope, and requirements once through a guided intake — we generate your evaluation criteria, stakeholder checklist, and distribute to a VIQ-scored set of 3–5 qualified vendors. Responses come back normalized for side-by-side comparison. Non-subscribers can run a single RFP event for $199, waived on any active subscription.
On the vendor side: Incumbent Retention Alerts are subscription-based, starting at $149/mo for up to 50 accounts monitored — you receive a private early warning when one of your existing accounts enters a vendor evaluation, giving you a right-of-first-response window. Competitor RFP Invitations are credit-based, charged per accepted invitation: $250 for under $25K ACV, $500 for $25K–$100K ACV, and $1,000+ above $100K. Credits are refunded if the buyer didn't open your response. Vendor invitation ranking is driven by VIQ scores — placement cannot be purchased.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time and you retain access through the end of your billing period. Annual plans can be cancelled but are non-refundable after the 14-day money-back window. Enterprise contracts follow the terms in your agreement.
Is my vendor data shared with other companies?
Never. Your specific vendor names, spend amounts, and account details are never sold or shared with vendors. The Vendor Intelligence product uses aggregated, anonymized benchmark data only — no individual business data is ever exposed. Vendor partners cannot see which specific companies are in our platform.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes — all paid plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If you don't find value in the first two weeks, contact our team and we'll refund your payment in full.
