FutureSearch plans and what they include
FutureSearch is metered by usage, and the paid plans are discounts on that usage rather than unlimited access. The Free plan gives $20 of credit with no card, all operations available, API access and 10 researchers running at a time. Typical costs from the source: forecasting runs $0.25 to $5 per question, Multi-Agent research $0.30 to $4 per row, and Agent Map $0.03 to $0.30 per row, with actual costs possibly higher or lower.
Analyst Starter is $20 per month for 20 concurrent researchers and 15% off usage rates. Research is $99 per month with 40 researchers and 30% off. Expert is $500 per month with 80 researchers and 30% off. All three include priority support and API access. Top-up packs of any amount are valid for a year, and enterprise pricing is on request. Prices checked on 2026-10-01.
