Run the Same Market Yourself, Free.
Three free explorations a day, no card. If a manual study is already sitting on your desk, run its market through Nodexa and hold the two up to the light.
Explore the mapOld services, consultants and firms charge around $675 for a single-site study, around $700 for an area analysis, and $150 to $199 a month for memberships, with turnaround measured in days. Nodexa needs no subscription, and because it does not work manually it can account for way more data, synthesize it better, and offer it and its analysis for less.
Every claim in the left column is a published price or standard practice of traditional site-study firms. Every claim in the right column is the product's measured behavior.
| Criterion | Manual site studyTraditional site-study firms | A Nodexa Deep ReportSoftware, same passes |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Around $675 for a single-site study, around $700 for an area analysis, memberships at $150 to $199 a month. | $475, one time, per market. Credits never expire. Before any money moves, a free tier of three explorations a day answers most questions. |
| Turnaround | Measured in days. The clock starts when the order is confirmed. | 60 to 90 seconds, measured from the moment you press run. |
| Verification | Offices confirmed by periodic phone checks. Accurate the day someone called, aging every day after. | Every office cross-checked against live business listings at search time, on every search. Offices that cannot be verified are labeled, never silently counted. |
| Boundary | Mileage radii and drive times, mixed as the analyst sees fit. Supply and demand are often measured on different geographies. | One traffic-aware drive-time boundary: 24 bearings by 10 distances, pinned to weekday mid-morning traffic. Supply and demand measured inside the same line, every time. |
| Revenue economics | None. The study tells you who is nearby, not what the work pays. | Official Medicaid floors plus modeled insurer and private-pay bands per procedure, drawn from 1,148 verified fee rows across 51 state schedules. |
| Reproducibility | A static PDF. To re-check a number six months later, you order again. | Re-run the same boundary any day and audit any number. Every comparison is recomputable: density against the specialty benchmark, income against the state median. |
| Interactivity | Paper. | A live dossier: switch procedures, walk the competitor list, interrogate the map. Print when you want paper. |
| Scale | One study per order, one market at a time. | Every market in the country, on demand. Three free explorations a day before you spend anything. |
Manual firms are better at three things, and software does not replace them.
When a market reads ambiguous against its benchmarks, an analyst who has walked hundreds of these decisions can sit with you and weigh it. Nodexa gives you the evidence and the method; it does not give you a colleague. If what you need is a human judgment call, buy one. It is worth the fee.
A firm that has studied one metro for two decades knows things no national dataset carries: the corridor stuck in permitting, the strip center quietly losing its anchor, the landlord nobody renews with. That knowledge is earned the slow way, and it is real.
If your case is genuinely unusual, a pediatric practice inside a hospital campus, a second location gated on a partner buyout, an analyst can weight the study around it. Nodexa publishes one weighting and applies it uniformly to every market. Uniformity is what makes reports comparable; it is also, honestly, a constraint.
Most rows in the ledger are differences of degree: cheaper, faster, repeatable. Two are differences of kind. No amount of analyst hours produces them, because they are properties of the machine, not of effort.
A phone survey is accurate the day it is made, and it ages every day after. Nodexa checks every office against live business listings the moment you run the search, so the one that closed last month is already out of your count.
No phone survey produces a fee schedule. Nodexa carries 1,148 verified Medicaid fee rows spanning all 51 state schedules, plus modeled insurer and private-pay bands for each procedure. Idaho publishes no dental fee-for-service schedule, so it gets modeled bands only, and the report says so. On one New York crown that is a $505 Medicaid floor against a $1,527 modeled private-pay median: the spread that decides who pays and what they pay. A manual study tells you who is nearby. It does not tell you what the work pays.
