How does the 14-day free trial work?
Sign up with just your email — no credit card required. You get full access to every paid feature for 14 days: AT RISK dollar amounts, overspend estimates, remediation steps, bank statement analysis, QuickBooks sync, and complete score history. At the end of the trial you choose the plan that fits your business. If you don't upgrade, access pauses until you pick a plan.
How does Franchisor pricing work exactly?
Franchisor plans are priced per active location on an annual contract. The subscription is scoped to your network size — Starter covers 1–10 locations, Growth covers 11–50 locations, and Enterprise covers 51+ locations and multi-brand operators. Pricing is customized based on network size, integration requirements, and support level. Each plan also includes a one-time network onboarding and implementation fee, scoped to your location count and quoted alongside the subscription. Reach out through the Talk to Sales form and our team will put together a proposal specific to your system.
What does franchisor onboarding include?
Franchisor deployments include a one-time onboarding and integration engagement that covers: location mapping and network configuration, vendor data ingestion across all active locations, QuickBooks and banking connections per location, baseline VIQ scoring across the network, and admin training for your HQ operations and finance teams. The scope and timeline are calibrated to your location count and quoted alongside the subscription — smaller emerging systems typically onboard in two to three weeks; larger networks with complex integrations are scoped individually. The onboarding fee is a one-time charge and is included in every franchisor proposal.
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?
Subscribers use the RFP module through a guided intake — define your vendor category, scope, and requirements once, and we generate evaluation criteria, a stakeholder checklist, and distribute to a VIQ-scored set of 3–5 qualified vendors. Responses come back normalized for side-by-side comparison.
Buyer-side event allowances by plan: Essentials includes 2 RFP events per year. Growth includes 5 RFP events per year. Franchisor plans (all tiers) include unlimited RFP events. Additional events beyond your plan allowance are $199 each. Non-subscribers can run a single RFP event for $199.
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. Scales to $249/mo (51–150 accounts) and $399/mo (151–500 accounts). 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.

Vendor Confidentiality Promise
Your vendor data is never shared with vendors.
Individual customer data — your specific vendor names, spend amounts, VIQ scores, and account details — is never shared, sold, or exposed to any vendor, on any plan. The Vendor Intelligence product uses only aggregated, anonymized, multi-customer benchmark data. No single business is identifiable in any report we produce or share.
Remediation recommendations and RFP invitation rankings are driven entirely by VIQ performance scores. Partner status makes a vendor eligible to appear — it never affects rank or score. A vendor cannot see its own VIQ score, and it can never learn which specific companies scored it.
We do not accept advertising, sponsored rankings, or pay-to-feature placements. The only way to appear higher in recommendations is to perform better.
Vendors can't see their own score
No advertising, sponsored rankings, or pay-to-rank
Individual account data never exposed
Intelligence = aggregated, anonymized benchmarks only
