What would make an analytics-only subscription worth paying for?

Start with a recurring job: following a set of accounts, comparing changes over time, receiving useful alerts or producing client reports. A paid wrapper around the same one-time lookup does not automatically create recurring value.

Validate data freshness, reliability and collection cost before promising a cadence. Then test whether the intended customers return to use the result and pay for that ongoing job. Preserve the free entry point while learning which monitoring workflow is valuable enough to support a separate offer.
