Frequently asked questions
What does SimilarIQ return for a domain?
The top 100 competitors, look-alikes, and similar companies for any company website — each with a 0-100 match score, relationship type (Direct, Indirect, Adjacent, Emerging), a confidence score, and a likely-competitor flag.
How much does it cost?
1 credit per search (up to 100 results). Plans from $6/month ($0.10-$0.24 per search) or pay-as-you-go at $0.50 per search. Free trial searches on signup; failed searches auto-refund.
Does this work in Claude Code on web and desktop?
Yes — SimilarIQ's MCP server is hosted streamable HTTP, so it works anywhere Claude Code runs: terminal, desktop app, IDE extensions, and claude.ai/code.
