FAQ

A Bite is one actionable insight — the single most important thing you should do about what we found. Not "consider your keyword strategy." More like: "Run a Meta ad targeting 'longevity stack' with female creative this week. No major competitor is doing it, search volume is up 22%, and the CPM is still under $8." It's decision support, not reporting.

Every one-time purchase includes a 4-week Pulse trial that auto-renews. You can cancel anytime during the trial — no hoops. We're betting you won't, because by week 3 the Bites have been compounding and you'll have seen results. But if it's not for you, one click and it's done.

Anytime. Upgrade mid-month and we prorate. Downgrade and keep full access through your paid period. No penalties, no lock-in.

You keep every report and export you've downloaded. Dashboard access and weekly emails end at the end of your paid period. Your slides freeze at their last update. No surprise charges, and you can reactivate anytime.

Most people don't. The weekly email is the default experience — it's enough for most Pulse and Pulse Plus subscribers. The dashboard is there for Pro subscribers who want real-time data or need an API endpoint for their agent workflows.

Every product ships in both human and machine formats. Your team reads the PDF or slides. Your AI agent reads the JSON or hits the API endpoint. Same intelligence, two interfaces. This isn't a premium feature — it's a property of every product at every tier.

Email us. If there's demand, we add it. Pulse Pro members get priority access to new verticals.
