How the comparison works
Your reporting doors come from your network size and participation rate. FACTS-claimed doors are excluded from billing entirely, and your first 10 committed doors are free. Pay-As-You-Go bills $7.50 per remaining door per month; from 50 committed doors, Pre-Pay contract pricing drops the annual per-door rate as your network grows, with extra discounts on 2 and 3 year terms.
The comparison side is what the same intelligence costs the traditional way. Each time you'd commission a study (on customers, competitors, pricing, or category trends), Frontline Insights asks the associates already standing on your sales floors instead. You set the wave count and the study cost, so the baseline is your budget, and the answers come back in as little as 48 hours instead of weeks.
The comparison is deliberately conservative: it prices the research substitution only, and gives no credit for speed, door-level granularity, or answers coming from the people who sell your product every day.
