Launch access: the current snapshot is temporarily available while the delayed public archive is being established. This is a temporary exception, not the permanent entitlement. Free is delayed by three months as a standard policy; the exception ends once at least four monthly snapshots are available, after which the normal three-month delay applies.

FAQ

Questions before you choose?

What does "3 months delayed" mean?

Free gives you the full IQ Score universe using historical scores that are three months behind the current data. Starter and Pro both give you the current monthly IQ Score update as soon as it publishes.

What's the difference between Starter and Pro?

Starter and Pro use the same current monthly IQ Score — Pro is not a fresher or faster score. Pro adds API access to use IQ Score data in your own tools and workflows, and CSV/Excel export.

How does the 14-day free trial work?

Starter and Pro include 14 days of full plan access at no charge. If you continue after the trial, your paid subscription starts automatically. Cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged.

Can I change or cancel my subscription?

Yes. You can change your plan or cancel your subscription from your account settings. For billing, renewal and refund details, see the Subscription Terms.

Are Friends, Question Marks and Foes buy or sell recommendations?

No. They are research classifications from the Income Quality framework, designed to help you evaluate income quality rather than tell you what to buy or sell.

Which brokers can I connect?

Many broker integrations are available. View the current, automatically updated list in our supported brokers directory →

What does API access include?

Pro includes API access so you can use IQ Score data in your own tools and workflows. See the API documentation for the available endpoints, fields and usage limits.

Important information

IQ Score provides independent research, not personalized investment advice. Friends, Question Marks and Foes are research classifications based on the IQ Score methodology and available data — they are not buy or sell recommendations.

See the Investment Disclaimer and Research Principles for more information. Billing, renewals and refunds are covered in the Subscription Terms.
