Pricing & founding access

Filter the deal before it gets expensive.

Choose the level of deal screening that matches the size and complexity of the deals you are reviewing.

Main Street deals need SBA supportability and SDE discipline.

Lower middle market deals need EBITDA quality, senior debt capacity, and institutional diligence readiness.

Middle market deals need a consistent first-pass screen before expensive team, lender, or IC time gets spent.

Start with 3 free deal screens. No credit card required. Paid plans are for buyers who need more screens, a saved review record, or human review on a serious live opportunity.

ADE is a decision-support tool, not legal, tax, accounting, investment, lending, valuation, or financial advice. A deal screen is not a valuation, investment recommendation, lending approval, or diligence report.
Deal mode tiers

Current access stays Main Street first. Future tiers are visible, but not purchasable yet.

Founder and Standard users can screen Main Street and SBA-style deals today. Pro and Enterprise are shown for product direction and support conversations only; they do not create checkout sessions or enable unfinished analysis modes.

Questions: Acquisitionanalytics26@gmail.com

Do not think of ADE as software you subscribe to forever. Think of it as a cheap first filter before you spend serious time, legal fees, diligence money, or lender goodwill on the wrong deal.

ADE's financing ceiling is not a valuation target. It is a lender-style supportability check that helps buyers avoid anchoring on a price the cash flow may not support.

Why founding access wins

The Founding Searcher Plan is designed to be the obvious fit for active buyers.

Two one-off deal screens already exceed the monthly founding price. The subscription is intentionally the most efficient path for anyone seriously looking at more than one opportunity.

Founding promise

The first 100 paying users keep the $49/month rate for as long as they remain continuously subscribed.

Beta credits come first

New beta users get 3 free deal screens without a credit card. Paid plans are for buyers who want additional screens, recurring use, or reviewed-deal support.

Cheap filter before expensive work

ADE belongs before legal fees, lender goodwill, quality-of-earnings spend, or weeks of buyer attention get committed to the wrong opportunity.

The premium add-on is a real service line

ADE Reviewed Deal does not replace the software. It escalates a specific completed screen into a higher-touch human review path.

Plan comparison

Three ADE access paths. One premium reviewed-deal add-on.

The first three offers let buyers enter ADE. The add-on escalates a completed ADE screen into a higher-touch human underwriting review.
