Free to browse the database. Paid when the diligence layer matters.
The free layer answers the first question on a brand. Explorer opens the deeper diligence rows — startup costs, royalty structures, contract terms, Item 19 financials, store-network history — and unlocks side-by-side compare. Team plans add exports, seats, API access, and white-glove onboarding.

What Explorer changes
Explorer is the fastest path when public data is no longer enough.
Use Explorer when you already know the brand or shortlist you want to evaluate and the decision depends on data that sits behind the public profile.
Need seats, exports, or API?
Professional and Enterprise are better when multiple people need access or when exports, heavier coverage, alerts, API calls, and custom support become part of the workflow.
Request team accessTeams and enterprise
Professional and Enterprise are sales-assisted today.
That is a product constraint, not a pricing mystery. The current checkout flow only supports Explorer. Team plans still require a short setup step because seats, exports, API scope, and support vary by account.

Common questions
What do I get with a free account?
Public browse across the full database, public profile access, and a persistent account so your research path is saved between sessions. Free does not unlock the gated diligence rows (royalty rates, contract terms, FDD financials) or side-by-side compare on protected fields.
Why is Explorer the right starting paid plan?
Explorer ($49/mo or $470/yr) unlocks every gated row on a brand profile and side-by-side compare for up to three brands. Most individual researchers, advisors, and operators don't need anything more. It is online checkout so you can start it in 30 seconds.
What is included in team plans?
Professional, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus add bulk exports, API access, multi-seat licensing, historical data, and a named onboarding contact. Because seats, API limits, and data scope vary by team, these plans include white-glove onboarding — request access from any team plan card and we scope the setup with you in one short call.
Can I start on Explorer and move up later?
Yes. Explorer is the cleanest way to start now. If the workflow grows into multi-seat, exports, or API, you can move into a team plan with credit applied for the unused portion of your Explorer term.
Do you offer the Korea Franchise Market Intelligence 2026 report under a subscription?
No. The institutional report is sold separately ($2,499 single user / $4,995 team / $9,995 enterprise) because it is a one-time deliverable, not a recurring data feed. The team license includes a quarterly update through 2026 and the enterprise license includes a custom deal-screen.
