Need Tiered / Feed Access to Naftiko Signals
Market discoverers need an Apify-style tiered pricing model for Naftiko Signals — nominal entry tier with N endpoints, layered depth charges — instead of enterprise-data 'tens of thousands of dollars for first-time access.'

Persona Story:
Vance, a market discoverer at a startup / fractional / accelerator-funded operation, needs an Apify-style tiered pricing model for Naftiko Signals — a nominal entry tier with N endpoints + layered depth charges — because enterprise-data vendors charge “tens of thousands of dollars for first-time access,” which is out of reach.
Problem Context
- Established enterprise data vendors charge $20K–$100K+ for first-time access; that pricing is rational for enterprise buyers but locks out the startup / fractional / accelerator-portfolio cohort entirely
- Vince’s verbatim framing of the alternative: “I found an API scraper that had an interesting pricing model — for a nominal fee I could have up to 500 endpoints to start with, and then they would kind of go down all of the additional details I asked them to scrape.” He named Apify as the reference model
- Vance is the buyer; the pricing shape is the product for him
- Naftiko’s current Signals data is behind lead gen — “it’s my currency for creating value, I’m not looking to sell it” (Kin) — so the pricing model decision is open
Problem Impact
- Without an accessible pricing tier, Naftiko Signals stays a lead-gen surface only — no direct revenue from market-discoverers
- The Vance cohort is meaningful in volume (accelerator portfolios, fractional GTM operators, open-source-to-enterprise BizDev hires) and has high product-market-fit signal for the data
- Tiered pricing also unblocks the upstream design question — at what tier do you expose what depth?
Naftiko Today
- Data is fully crawled and per-company-segmented — the underlying data product exists, only the access layer / pricing surface is missing
- Per-company landing pages with role-based UTM are the existing prospect-experience layer — these already discriminate access by role; could be extended to discriminate by tier
- The MCP-server-per-company surface is a natural tier discriminator — what depth of MCP-served data per tier?
Naftiko Tomorrow
- Define 3–4 tiered pricing levels (nominal entry / standard / pro / enterprise) with clear endpoint-count / depth / refresh-frequency cuts
- Expose tiers via a feed API — paid users get keyed access at their tier
- Bundle the entry tier as a Claude skills package (see need-naftiko-skills-bundle-for-claude-with-tiered-pricing)
- Possible benchmark: Apify-style nominal-fee entry → endpoint-count cap → metered-depth charges; mid-market-affordable opening price point
