# Not as expensive as you might fear

**About the cost of one analyst a year, for a platform your whole commercial team uses.**

## Typical range

**$75,000 – $125,000 a year** for a mid-sized brand owner.

Every client's setup is different, so we quote to yours. The price depends on:

- **Data volume:** the number of retailers, data sources and stores
- **Scope:** the categories and markets covered
- **Modules:** Category Intelligence, Revenue Growth Management and Intelligent Field Sales
- **Layer:** Core, plus Intelligence as an AI add-on, plus Autonomous from early 2027
- **Deployment:** Advise Cloud (annual subscription) or Advise Private (annual licence plus support)

## What you get for it

- Every source harmonised and kept current, with no BI build and no data engineering team
- Ready-made analytics for category, revenue growth and field sales
- No technical limit on users. Accounts come in tiers, so adding people never means a licence per seat
- Support and onboarding included
- With Intelligence: verified AI answers, bought as its own AI line item

## Compared with the alternative

| Option | What it really costs |
|---|---|
| Hire another analyst | One salary for one person's hours. The reporting still gets built by hand. |
| Build it in-house on a BI tool | Data engineering, licences per seat, months before the first useful dashboard, and upkeep forever |
| **Advise** | About one analyst's cost. Live in weeks, and the whole team works from it. |
