Pricing for evidence you can cite.

Compass turns technology coverage into sourced signals, dashboards, and briefing-ready reports — so you can see what's gaining attention, what's fading, what's connected, and why.

Every paid plan gets the same evidence-backed measurements. Choose based on how much you need to watch, export, report, and automate.

🚀 Launching soon. and we'll email you the moment it's live.

One-time purchase · not a subscription
$19 A single briefing-ready report 1 full report · one topic

One topic, fully unpacked — what the coverage is made of, what changed, how it's framed, and every cited source. Yours to keep and cite. No account, no recurring charge. It's the exact report Pro generates — Pro just includes 10 of them every month (plus alerts and 15 months of history).

🚀 Launching soon. No charge yet — this adds you to the waitlist.

Why history is the valuable part. A baseline isn't just old articles — it's coverage measured the same way, against the same corpus, month after month. That's five quarters on record — a full year plus the current one — so every read can measure this quarter against the same quarter last year. The last 15 months are already recorded; the next 15 start accruing the day you subscribe.

Plus
$199 /mo
For teams that brief together — analyst tracks, strategist reviews, the lead walks in ready.
Everything in Pro, plus:
What you're measuring
  • Everything in Pro's measurement layer, shared across the team
  • 40 single-topic reports/month — any topic, shared across seats
  • 10 multi-topic "State of X" lens reports/month — shared across seats
How it reaches you

  • 3 seats — one shared workspace
  • API & programmatic data analytics feed
Programmatic
Signal Feed (API)
$59 /mo
Same price as Pro — a different product: a machine feed, not a dashboard.
For developers wiring Compass into their own systems
Not a stream of pages — a stream of measurements. Every item arrives already classified by story type, claim stage, and framing, and scored against the topic's own history. The interpretation layer is done before it reaches your pipeline.
  • Classified events — story type, claim stage, framing, per entity
  • Baselined — each signal carries its normal, so your system can tell unusual from loud
  • Source-linked — every measurement resolves to the dated articles behind it
  • Ingest-ready JSON — movers, emerging, connections, per-entity
  • No full reports — pair with Pro or Plus if you need generated reports

Tiered by what you do with Compass — never by the quality of the data. Every paid plan sees every measurement and every evidence drill-down. What scales is capacity: saved relationship maps, armed alerts, export volume, run history, seats, and API access. Compass is launching soon — join the waitlist and we'll email you the day it opens.

Measured over a real, dated corpus

From articles to signals in four deterministic passes — enrichment, identify, canonicalize, signals. No opinions injected; every number opens to the articles behind it.

Questions

What does Compass actually measure?
How much the tech press is writing about a topic, which direction the coverage is moving, which companies and technologies get covered alongside it, and — crucially — what kind of stories the coverage is made of and how far the claims have actually progressed. Every number drills to the real headlines behind it.
Is this financial or investment advice?
No. Compass reports measurements over a technology-news corpus — never predictions, verdicts, or buy/sell signals. It tells you what the press is saying and how it's saying it; the judgment stays yours.
What's the $19 report?
A one-off, sourced brief on a single topic — coverage trend, framing split, what the coverage is made of over time, and every cited source — with no subscription. A low-commitment way to see the instrument do real work.
What's a "State of X" lens report — and how is it different from the $19 report?
The $19 report covers one topic. A "State of X" lens report covers a WHOLE lens or topic set — coverage leaders, momentum, what's covered together, and how concentrated attention is, every figure source-linked. It's a separate monthly allotment from the single-topic reports: Pro includes 2 lens reports a month, Plus 10, and a Free account can view the public sample lens reports.
Do you have an API?
Yes — two ways. Signal Feed (API) ($59/mo) is the standalone, API-only plan: a scoped, programmatic JSON feed for developers who want to pull the coverage measurements into their own app, model, or pipeline (no dashboard). Plus ($199/mo) includes the production-scale API alongside the full UI and team seats. The endpoints and a sample response are public — see the API docs at /compass/api.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Pro, Plus and Signal Feed (API) are month-to-month and cancel anytime from your billing portal.
What happens to the sample workspace if I never pay?
Nothing — it's free forever, no card, no trial clock. A free account also lets you look up any topic with the last 30 days of coverage, run 1 full report a month, and watch 2 topics; Pro is what unlocks the full 15 months of history, 10 reports a month, and scale.
Do I need to talk to sales?
No. Compass is entirely self-serve — pick a plan, pay by card, and you're in. (Teams larger than three seats can reach out for a custom arrangement.)
Billed monthly. Cancel anytime. Paid plans renew automatically until cancelled; cancellation stops future billing and access continues through the current billing period. Card handling by Stripe. Compass measures press-coverage composition — no investment, legal, or business advice. See the Subscription & Refund Terms, API Terms, and Terms of Service.
