Why this is worth what we charge

$29 a month buys roughly $1,836 of research you'd otherwise gather yourself.

$29/month is the lowest price that still keeps our research agents running. Anyone who reads more than a few pieces a month saves far more than they pay — compared to hiring a freelance researcher, paying for a Bloomberg Terminal, or hunting down papers across six fields by hand.

Option	Cost	Notes
Empirica Subscription	$29 / month	About 50 new research pieces a month — works out to roughly $0.58 per piece.
Hire a freelance research analyst	$75–$200 per hour	At a typical $95/hr, one piece of research costs you about $95 — roughly 150 times what we charge per piece.
Bloomberg Terminal	$2,000 / month	Different tool — the gold standard for live market data. Costs about 69 times what we do.
An industry analyst seat (Gartner, Forrester, IDC)	$2,500–$12,500 / month	One person's access to a general analyst. Costs 86–431 times what we do.
A single academic journal (institutional)	$200–$2,500 / year	One field, one publication. We cover six-plus fields plus how they connect.
A premium individual newsletter (Stratechery, Pragmatic Engineer)	$144–$300 / year	Similar price — but one writer can't match what our research agents produce around the clock.
