Subscription Plans & Pricing
IdeaFuel subscription plans determine how many validation reports you can generate, how many financial models you can build, which interview modes you can access, and the quality of AI analysis powering your results.
IdeaFuel offers three plans: FREE for exploring the platform, PRO ($29/mo) for entrepreneurs actively validating ideas, and ENTERPRISE ($99/mo) for teams and power users who need maximum depth and volume. All plans include project creation and dashboard access.

What does each feature include?#
Spark Reports
Spark reports are fast, high-level viability checks generated from a short 3-5 question interview. They take about 2 minutes to complete and give you a quick read on whether your idea is worth exploring further.
On the PRO plan you get 5 Spark reports per month. On the ENTERPRISE plan you get 10. FREE plan users do not have access to any reports.
For our AI-powered tutoring app example, a Spark report would tell you in minutes whether the online tutoring market is growing, whether your price point is competitive, and whether there are obvious red flags.
Light Interview Reports
Light reports come from a more structured 10-15 question interview that typically takes about 8 minutes. The resulting analysis covers market sizing, basic competitive landscape, and a preliminary viability score.
PRO users get 3 Light reports per month. ENTERPRISE users get 5.
In-Depth Interview Reports
In-Depth reports are the most comprehensive validation IdeaFuel offers. The interview runs 25-35 questions over roughly 20 minutes, and the report covers market analysis, competitive positioning, revenue model assessment, risk identification, and strategic recommendations.
PRO users get 1 In-Depth report per month. ENTERPRISE users get 2.
Tip: Use Spark reports to quickly screen multiple ideas, then spend your Light and In-Depth reports on the concepts that pass that first filter.
Financial Models
Financial models let you build revenue projections, cost structures, unit economics, and break-even analyses for your idea. The FREE plan includes 1 financial model so you can try the feature. PRO gives you 10, and ENTERPRISE gives you 50.

Full Reports
Full reports are the deepest tier of analysis, available exclusively on the ENTERPRISE plan. They combine everything from BASIC and PRO report tiers with additional sections: detailed TAM/SAM/SOM breakdowns, investor-readiness scoring, go-to-market strategy suggestions, and risk mitigation frameworks.
Pro Feature: Full reports are an ENTERPRISE-only feature. If you are on PRO and need this level of depth for a critical idea, consider upgrading for the month you need it.
AI Quality
Your plan determines which AI model powers your analysis:
| Plan | AI Quality | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| FREE | Standard | Baseline AI analysis — functional but less nuanced |
| PRO | Enhanced | More sophisticated reasoning, better market data synthesis, richer competitive analysis |
| ENTERPRISE | Premium | Highest-quality AI with the deepest analytical capabilities, most current data sources, and most detailed outputs |
Priority Support
PRO and ENTERPRISE users get priority support. Your questions go to the front of the queue, and you can expect responses within a few hours during business days. FREE users have access to community support and documentation.
How do I upgrade my plan?#
Upgrading takes less than a minute and your new quotas are available immediately.
- Click your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Subscription from the dropdown menu.
- Choose the plan you want — PRO or ENTERPRISE.
- Click Upgrade.
- You are redirected to a secure Stripe checkout page. Enter your payment details.
- Once payment is confirmed, you are redirected back to IdeaFuel with your new plan active.
Your upgraded quotas and features are available instantly. If you had a project waiting for a report, you can generate one right away.
Note: If you are upgrading from FREE to PRO or from PRO to ENTERPRISE, the change takes effect immediately. You get the full monthly quota for the new plan starting from the moment you upgrade.
How does billing work?#
IdeaFuel uses simple monthly billing with no long-term contracts.
- Billing cycle: Your plan renews on the same date each month (the date you first subscribed). Report quotas reset at renewal.
- Payment method: All payments are processed securely through Stripe. You can use any major credit or debit card.
- Cancellation: You can cancel your subscription at any time from the Subscription page. Your paid features remain active until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account reverts to the FREE plan.
- No annual contracts: All plans are month-to-month. You are never locked in.
Tip: If you only need deeper validation for a specific idea, you can upgrade for a single month, use your reports, and then cancel. Your projects and past reports stay in your account on the FREE plan.
Frequently asked questions#
What happens to my data if I downgrade?
Your data is safe. All projects, interviews, reports, and financial models you have already created remain in your account and are fully accessible, even on the FREE plan. You will not lose any previously generated content.
What changes is your ability to create new content. If you downgrade from PRO to FREE, you lose access to interview modes and your report quota drops to zero. You can still view and export everything you built while on the paid plan.
Do unused reports roll over?
No. Report quotas reset at the beginning of each billing cycle. If your PRO plan gives you 5 Spark reports and you only use 3 this month, those 2 unused reports do not carry over to next month. You start fresh with 5 when your plan renews.
Plan your validation work within each billing cycle to get the most out of your quota.
Can I switch plans mid-month?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time.
Upgrading mid-month: Your new plan takes effect immediately and you get the full monthly quota for the higher plan. You are charged the prorated difference for the remainder of your billing cycle.
Downgrading mid-month: The downgrade takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You keep access to all paid features until then, so there is no rush to use up your remaining quota the same day.
Is there a free trial for PRO or ENTERPRISE?
There is no separate free trial. The FREE plan itself serves as your way to explore the platform. You can create projects, build one financial model, and familiarize yourself with the dashboard before committing to a paid plan.
How do I cancel my subscription?
- Click your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Subscription.
- Click Cancel Plan.
- Confirm the cancellation.
Your paid features remain active until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account reverts to FREE.
