FAQ← Back to Earlist
Real questions. Real answers.
Just another alert tool?
No. Earlist surfaces intent, people actively looking to switch, within minutes. Most tools show you a change days later. You need to know while the thread is warm.
My competitors are private. Trackable?
If they have a public GitHub, Product Hunt, X, or any public surface, yes. Complete ghosts, no. Earlist tracks what is public.
Do you auto-post to my clients?
No. The brief lands in your inbox. You decide what to send and when. Earlist just does the research.
I'm solo, not an agency. Overkill?
No. Start on Starter, same five signals scoped to one workspace. Agency features wait until you grow into them.
How fast is setup?
Minutes. Add competitors by URL and monitoring starts the same minute. No onboarding call, no API keys, no analyst to hire. Most competitive intelligence tools take weeks to deploy. Earlist takes one coffee.
Is my data safe?
Read-only on everything tracked. No competitor credentials stored. Cancel and your data is deleted. GDPR compliant.
