What you get

## Everything you need to *put the customer in the room.*

Early Access Customers get every live feature, plus time with the team building it.

### Free Early Access

Use AskTheCustomer with your own customer evidence at no cost during early access. No card needed.

### Hands-on setup help

We help you pick the right evidence, load it and review your first segments and personas together.

### Shape what we build next

Your feedback goes straight into the roadmap. Tell us what's missing and see it move up the list.

### A direct line to the founder

No support queue. Questions and ideas go straight to the person building the product.

### First to try new features

Connectors for HubSpot, Zendesk, Google Drive, Zoom, Fireflies, Fathom and Otter are in beta now. You try each new feature before anyone else.

How Early Access works

## From application to *your first answer.*

A simple path. You bring the evidence and the questions. We do the setup with you.

1

### Apply

Tell us about your team and the decisions you want help with. It takes \< 2 minutes.

2

### Intro call

A short call to check fit and agree which questions matter most to you.

3

### Setup together

We load your evidence and review your segments and personas with you.

4

### Ask real questions

Use it on live product, marketing and sales decisions.

5

### Shape the roadmap

Short feedback check-ins. Your input decides what comes next.

Is it a fit?

## Who we're *looking for*

Early Access works best for teams that already hear from customers but struggle to use that evidence in everyday decisions.

- B2B SaaS or tech-enabled company with 10–500 employees
- You have customer evidence: interview notes, call transcripts, support tickets or survey results
- Your team makes regular product, positioning or go-to-market decisions
- You're happy to share honest feedback, good and bad

You get

- Free access
- Setup help
- Founder access
- New features first

You give

- Evidence you already have
- Real questions to ask
- Short feedback check-ins
- Honest opinions

A fair exchange. No long contracts.

### Your data stays yours

Your evidence lives in your own workspace, kept separate from every other customer's, and access is checked on every request. Answers only ever use that workspace. We use it only to answer your questions. Before any public web search, names, emails and quotes are removed. You can delete a source, or the whole workspace, at any time. You'll see our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement before you sign up.

Apply

## Become an *Early Access Customer.*

Places are limited so we can give every team proper attention. Tell us a little about you and the decision you'd most like to ask your customers about.

**\< 2 min**

to apply

**Free**

during early access

Stop guessing. Ask the customer.

Questions

## Good to know

Is Early Access really free?

Yes. Early Access Customers use AskTheCustomer free during early access. If you want to continue afterwards, we'll talk about pricing with you first. Nothing is charged automatically.

What evidence do I need to start?

Whatever you already have: interview notes or transcripts, sales call transcripts, support ticket exports, survey results or research documents. Each workspace holds up to 50 sources and 2,000 records, which is plenty to start. We'll help you choose what to load first.

How much time does it take?

An intro call, a setup session and short feedback check-ins. Beyond that you use it when you have a real question, which is the point.

Does it replace talking to customers?

No. It helps you use what customers have already told you, at the moment you need it. When the evidence is thin, it tells you, so you know when to go and ask a real customer.

Why "Early Access Customers"?

Because you're a customer from day one, with a real say in the product. Not a test subject.
