Straight answers.
Is Canvas Scout an alternative to SPOTIO?
For people who sell to local businesses in one territory, yes. SPOTIO tracks field sales activity for teams of five or more, sold through demos with quoted prices. Canvas Scout includes every business in your territory, scored for what you sell, priced per territory with a free account to start.
How much does Canvas Scout cost?
Plans start at $35 a month for up to 10,000 businesses, priced by territory rather than per lead or per user. A free account shows 20 real businesses in your area with no card, and a 7-day trial shows 1,000.
Can I try it first?
Yes. A free account costs nothing and needs no card: your map shows 20 real businesses in your area so you can try every tool, plus about how many businesses are in your whole territory. When you want more, start a 7-day trial from the map; you’re not charged during the trial.
