Which plan fits you?
- Just exploring → stay Free. All 36,000+ research pages, guides, and the calculator cost nothing; 30 monthly credits are enough to run full AI research on several tickers.
- Researching a personal watchlist weekly → Starter. Covers regular chat-driven research and occasional deep runs on a handful of names.
- Testing strategies in Labs or running daily research → Plus or Pro. Backtest generations and deep analysis runs are the heaviest credit consumers; bigger tiers mean fewer top-ups.
- A team or desk sharing one workspace → Business.
Not sure? Start free and watch the credit counter — your usage pattern tells you which tier pays for itself. Every AI action shows its credit cost before you run it.
Why credits instead of a flat fee?
Heavy AI users cross-subsidize nobody: you pay for the research you actually run. Top-up credits never expire while your account is active, so buying a pack never puts you on a clock — and free-plan research pages stay free forever, no credits needed.
What a credit buys
AI actions — chat answers, deep analysis runs, backtest generations — each show their credit cost before you run them. Static research (briefs, outlooks, guides, the open market snapshot) is free and unlimited.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — the free plan includes Stock Chat and the Stock Screener preview with 30 monthly AI credits. No card required.
What is the difference between Starter, Plus, Pro and Business?
Each tier raises your monthly AI credits and workspace limits (chat, screener, labs usage). The full feature comparison is shown in-app on the Billing page before checkout — we keep it there so it never goes stale.
Can I cancel?
Yes — manage or cancel from the Billing page at any time. See the refund policy for how refunds are handled.
