Plans bundle operational tools around your own workflow, telemetry on your own traffic, intake tooling, richer profile depth, invites and seats. Verification is earned through evidence. A free-plan provider with an outcome-verified record always ranks above a paid-plan provider with only a claimed listing. Always.
Every claimed listing.
Solo and small AI shops running the intake workflow at scale.
Shops closing a couple of routed briefs a month.
Established shops who want the lead channel.
Multi-office shops and concierge engagements.
Paid plans bundle tools around your workflow, the data about your own traffic, the intake dashboards for your evidence, the depth of your directory profile, the seats and invites your team needs. None of this is a data-access shortcut, and none of it touches the ranking function.
Profile views, referring queries, buyer-intent signals, your data about your own inbound. Public dataset doesn't touch it because it's yours.
Dashboards, submission templates, and readiness diagnostics mapped to the public rubric. A form that maps to the public schema, workflow, not coaching. No 'how to pass' advice; the rubric is public for anyone.
Case studies, integration proofs, custom demos, video, custom header image and accent. Directory profile depth is orthogonal to rank, buyers still filter on your earned level, and the branded page shows the shop behind it.
Send L3 rating links at scale. Multi-user access, 3 seats on Pro/Grow, more on Premium/Enterprise. Coordinate the account without sharing a login.
Pro-tier submissions are triaged first. Same rubric, same reviewers, same outcome, only the queue latency differs. We publish Free-vs-paid outcome-equivalence stats on the queue-latency dashboard every quarter, and the ratio is monitored in code. The moment outcomes diverge on plan tier the perk is pulled.
The ranking function reads only your earned verification, { verification_level, record_count, recency } , and cannot even see your plan. The full quarterly public dataset ships on /standard/data , same CSV, same JSON, same day, for everyone. No embargo. No custom cuts. No delayed feed for the free tier.
Every methodology change is a public PR. Every ranking-adjacent inbound is logged to a per-entry Non-Influence Ledger and independently attested. If a paid plan ever bought a rank change, the ledger would show it.
Plan tier and verification level live on independent axes, the vertical you earn through evidence, the horizontal you choose for tools. The cells below describe which operational-leg tools each combination unlocks; they never describe whether a level is available. Every level is available at every plan.

Buyers procure free by default; large teams can upgrade to structured procurement tools. Agents and integrators call the same verified index via MCP and a plain REST API, always plan-blind, never gated on the provider's subscription.
Shared brief workspace, seats, saved-list sharing, procurement export, and single-sign-on. Free routing is untouched, this is for teams that procure regularly and want the workflow surface.
Point Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP-compatible LLM app at /api/mcp. Or call REST at /api/v1/* with the OpenAPI 3.1 spec. Anonymous works at the free-tier ceiling; Bearer keys raise it.
No. Verification levels are earned through evidence and are completely independent of plan tier. A free-plan provider with an outcome-verified record always ranks above a paid-plan provider with only a claimed listing. The ranking function cannot even read your plan, plans bundle operational tools around your own workflow; they never touch verification or rank.
No. Priority-queue is a latency perk only: Pro-tier submissions are triaged first, but reviewers apply the same public rubric and the outcome is unaffected. We publish Free-vs-paid outcome-equivalence stats on the queue-latency dashboard every quarter, and the ratio is monitored in code. The moment outcomes diverge on plan tier the perk is pulled.
No. The full quarterly dataset ships on /standard/data, same CSV, same JSON, same day, for everyone. Paid plans do not embargo, delay, or add custom cuts of the public data. Any laptop runs any cut locally. The plan-blind pledge is enforced in the code that generates the dataset.
Yes, at any time. Plan changes take effect immediately and are prorated, you're charged (or credited) only the difference for the remainder of the billing period, on your existing subscription. Plan changes never affect your verification level or your badges.
Yes. Annual billing receives a 20% discount on Pro, Grow, and Premium. Enterprise is bespoke.
Your profile reverts to Free at the end of the billing period. Tools associated with paid plans (telemetry, intake workflow, rich profile, bulk invites, lead credits) stop; your verification level and badges remain at whatever you've earned.
Concierge engagements are structured as Enterprise contracts. The concierge work itself is the highest-margin support tier, see /services/verification-concierge for the three packages ($5K starter · $15K standard · $50K flagship) and what each covers.
