The platforms that do this well start at a few hundred a month and assume a team with a quota, an ops person to configure it, and enough volume to justify the contract. Working alone, you are paying an enterprise rate to do a few hours of research a week.
So the research happens in browser tabs instead, and the good reason to make contact — the funding round, the new office, the job posting that gives the game away — is found late or not at all.
Scout runs as a Mac app because research is a session, not a page view: you hold twenty companies in mind, compare them, discard most and take three seriously. That is work a desktop window does better than a tab that reloads.
Your research notes and lists stay on your machine.
Scout finds and qualifies. It does not run a pipeline, send sequences or forecast a quarter — a team doing that at volume wants Treepie Flow.
Look at Treepie Flow instead →The app, permanently, on your own Mac — plus 12 months of updates and support. After that, $52 a year keeps new versions arriving. Renewal is optional. Let it lapse and the app keeps working — you simply stop receiving new versions.
14 days to try it first, 30 days to ask for your money back after. All three prices side by side.
No. One payment of $129 buys the app permanently, with twelve months of updates and support included. Renewing at $52 a year keeps new versions coming; not renewing leaves you with a working app.
No. It works out who is worth contacting and why. What you send, and from where, stays yours.
Price and shape. Those are sold per seat to teams, administered centrally and billed monthly. Scout is one app, bought once, by one person.
No. Each app stands on its own.
