The questions that come up before a buyer signs, answered up front so you don't have to book a call to get a straight one.
What is an entity, and how is it different from a brand?+
Two things, tracked separately. A brand is a top-level brand you scan. An entity is anything tracked under a brand: a product, a campaign, an executive, a competitor (and the competitor's own products). Starter scans one brand and no entities. Growth adds up to 100 entities under your brand; Scale tracks 5 brands and up to 500 entities; Agency is unlimited on both.
What's a manual rescan?+
A click on a single entity that re-runs the full scan on demand, after you act on a recommendation, when something changes (a launch, a news event, a model release), or when you want fresh data before a meeting. One click rescans one entity and consumes one of your monthly budget.
Does this work for non-commercial brands?+
Yes. The recommendation engine adapts to your sector. International organisations, nonprofits, government agencies, educational institutions, professional bodies, think tanks, and public figures all have their own action whitelists, so a UN agency never gets 'improve your product page', and a SaaS company never gets 'publish a methodology white paper'.
What counts as my 'audience'?+
Whoever AI is shaping your reputation with: buyers, donors, members, journalists, policy-makers, students, prospective hires. We don't assume sales prospects. You set the audience in your brand profile, and the prompt mix and recommendations adapt to it.
Does AuthorityOn work for local businesses?+
Yes. Set your brand's locality (country, or city plus country) in your profile and every scan is geographically scoped. A gym in Geneva sees the gyms that actually compete with it, not LA Fitness or Equinox. A solicitor in Manchester sees Manchester firms. AI search is local for most buyers, and AuthorityOn tracks where you rank in your market, not just globally. Available on every tier from Starter (€49/mo) up.
Do you have a free tier?+
No. The cheapest paid tier is Starter at €49/mo. There is no free scan and no free trial. Starter is a real, low-commitment subscription: monthly billing, cancel any time from the Stripe portal after a single cycle.
Is there a trial?+
No free trial. We'd rather build a product worth paying for from day one. Starter at €49/mo is the lowest-commitment way to subscribe, cheap enough to be a real start, still a real paid subscription. It's monthly with no contract, so if it doesn't work for you, cancel after a single billing cycle.
