FAQ

Questions people ask first

Is ScoutBrief really free?

The competitor snapshot is free with no signup, and every account gets its first full report free. After that it's $3 per report, or $19 a month for regular tracking.

Where does the information come from?

ScoutBrief searches the web live when you ask for a report. Every competitor it verifies links to its source so you can check it, and anything it couldn't verify is clearly marked.

Does it work for local businesses?

Yes. Include your city or neighbourhood in the description and it looks for competitors near you, not just big national brands.

How long does it take?

The free snapshot takes about 30 seconds. A full report with pricing, weaknesses and a 30-day plan usually takes one to two minutes.

What languages does it support?

Reports come back in the language you write in, including English and Bosnian.

Can I track competitors over time?

Yes. You can re-check any business you've saved, and subscribers get an automatic weekly check with an email when something changes.
