Plan details

Does the free trial expire or reset?

No. It never expires and does not reset. Each trial ZIP is limited to 3 lookups — once a lookup is used, it is gone for good. Subscribe to Operations for unlimited lookups.

Does a failed lookup count against my trial?

No. A ZIP code that is not found does not use up a lookup or one of your two trial ZIPs. Only successful lookups count.

Are the two trial ZIP codes permanently selected?

You choose them. The first two ZIP codes you successfully look up become your trial ZIPs — locked in once looked up, so pick the ones you actually need.

How many users does each subscription include?

Operations and Analytics Pro each cover one user. Enterprise (coming soon) will support teams and organizations.

Are exports Excel workbooks or CSV files?

CSV on every report, with PDF on select reports. CSV opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet app — no conversion needed.

Which analytics capabilities are available today?

Revenue Estimator, Contract Pricing, Service Area Analysis, and Hospital / Facility Lookup. Additional market-intelligence tools are on the roadmap.

Frequently asked questions
