## What is FalcoScan?

FalcoScan is an AI market intelligence platform for investors, founders, strategy teams, sales teams, and data teams that checks products against their own homepages and scores markets for opportunity, saturation, and heat. It includes Browse, Market Terminal, AI Graveyard, Heat Score, Opportunity scores, and Saturation scores. FalcoScan is used by Microsoft, Canva, and HubSpot. Plans run Explore Free, Pro $49/month, Studio $149/month, Team $249/month, plus paid reports and data access.

## What it actually is

FalcoScan is a maintained dataset of AI companies and products, not a live scraper and not a submission-ranked directory. Every market gets three published scores recomputed nightly — Heat, Opportunity and Saturation — plus a per-product Wrapper Risk score (the odds a tool is a thin layer over someone else's model). The same catalog is queryable as a free public website, a paid REST API, and a free-to-connect MCP server for Claude, Cursor and other agents. As of the data snapshot dated 8 October 2026, the vendor states the catalog covers 7,699 AI companies across 29 markets and 67 countries, 7,327 of them marked operating. (Source: falcoscan.com/products/api, falcoscan.com/our-data — vendor-reported figures, not independently audited.)

## The methodology is public and it corrects itself

FalcoScan publishes the exact formula behind every score it sells — Heat Score, Category Heat, the Rising 10 composite, Opportunity and Saturation — with worked examples, at falcoscan.com/methodology. The page carries a version history and a changelog: on 25 September 2026 the vendor corrected two descriptions that didn't match the formulas actually in use (the recency decay was mislabeled a '14-day half-life' when it's a 14-day time constant), and said plainly that no published score moved as a result. The same page states its own limitation without hedging: the Momentum label, which carries the single heaviest weight (30%) in the Heat Score, 'reflects the FalcoScan team's read of the market — not an impartial measurement.' That's an unusual degree of self-disclosure for a scoring product, and it means a buyer is paying partly for editorial judgment presented with formula precision, not a purely mechanical metric.

## Tracking shutdowns: what 'verified' actually means here

FalcoScan's AI Graveyard records products confirmed shut down or acquired with a published source for each one. As of 8 October 2026 it lists 138 products this way — 32 shut down, 106 acquired (falcoscan.com/methodology, falcoscan.com/products/api). That's a smaller number than the 257 listings the broader catalog marks 'shut down' and the 114 marked 'acquired': the vendor's own methodology page explains the gap — a catalog label alone doesn't qualify a product for the Graveyard, only a sourced verdict does, and 'a product the catalog marks as gone stays out of the graveyard until the evidence is there.' A buyer citing a shutdown count should use the sourced 138, not the broader catalog tally, and should know the two numbers measure different things.

## Pricing

Every market page, score and source is free to browse with no account. A free account unlocks 7 days of full access (exact scores, the Market Terminal) with no card required. After that: Pro is $49/month (consultants, founders, PMs; unlimited tracked markets, daily score history, CSV export); Studio is $149/month or $1,490/year (adds the MCP server, a REST API at 2,500 requests/day, 3 seats); Team is $249/month or $2,490/year (10,000 requests/day, 5 seats). Separately, for AI tool makers: a one-time $49 Position Report on your own product, a one-time $400 Featured partner listing, and $70/month Partner monitoring. A 90-day API/MCP data pilot for research teams and investors is $2,500 one-time. All figures verified against falcoscan.com/pricing and falcoscan.com/products/api on 8 October 2026.

## How FalcoScan makes money from the companies it scores

FalcoScan publishes a sponsorship and trust policy (falcoscan.com/sponsorship-policy) stating that payment never changes a score, ranking or inclusion, and that every paid placement is labeled. It also discloses something most directories don't: in the Browse directory's *default sort order only*, products FalcoScan earns an affiliate commission from are listed first, highest commission first — any other sort, search, or market page carries no such ordering, and an affiliate Visit link is labeled on the product's own page. The vendor's X account also runs affiliate links directly in its posts (e.g., to Softr and CustomGPT). None of this touches the Heat/Opportunity/Saturation scores themselves, which the policy states are never for sale — but a buyer using the default Browse view specifically should know the first results they see are ordered by commission, not by score.

## Company age and independent track record

The domain's earliest Wayback Machine capture is 31 March 2026, and the founder's X/Twitter account (@falcoscan) shows the same join date, both consistent with the About page's description of the company as founded by Shem Nyachieo (web.archive.org/cdx, x.com/falcoscan, falcoscan.com/about). That makes FalcoScan roughly seven months old as of this review. A search for FalcoScan on G2, Capterra and Product Hunt turned up no listing or reviews as of 8 October 2026 — not unusual for a company this young, but it means every claim about the dataset's accuracy currently rests on the vendor's own disclosed methodology rather than on any independent audit or user review.
