Why active deal-makers choose Inkvex
$499 covers your whole deal, not one document
At the same dollar as Franchise Caliber's $497 Decision Kit, Inkvex's $499 Deal Pack delivers 90 days of unlimited analyses across every document type your active deal requires: FDD, asset purchase agreement, commercial lease, employment agreement, seller note, LOI. Decision Kit covers one franchise brand evaluation. Deal Pack covers your active acquisition. A self-funded ETA buyer running a real deal will use Inkvex 8 to 15 times. The same buyer will use Decision Kit once.
Your deal has documents Franchise Caliber does not read
Self-funded buyers do not sign one document and walk away. An LOI leads to diligence which leads to an APA which leads to a lease which leads to seller paper. Franchise Caliber reads FDDs only. APAs, leases, employment agreements, and seller notes are not offered at any price. Inkvex covers every document in your deal at one subscription price.
Your attorney needs structured handoff
Inkvex output is built for the buyer-attorney handoff: 1-10 risk score, quoted clauses, jurisdiction citations on every red flag, Cross-Reference Map showing how Items compound. Your attorney opens the report and starts work on the issues that matter, instead of billing for first-read scanning. That is the diligence partner role Inkvex is built for.
When Franchise Caliber might fit
Franchise Caliber's single-FDD workflow fits one specific buyer: someone evaluating exactly one franchise brand, with no asset purchase agreement, no lease, no employment agreement, no other documents under review, who wants a database of pre-analyzed brands to browse alongside that single FDD. If your situation is exactly that, one brand, one FDD, no other documents, Franchise Caliber covers it at $197. The moment your deal includes anything beyond a single FDD, you are an Inkvex buyer.

Frequently asked
Is Inkvex a Franchise Caliber alternative?
Inkvex is a different category of tool, not a feature-for-feature alternative. Franchise Caliber is a single-document FDD analyzer. Inkvex is whole-deal diligence across an active acquisition. If you searched for "Franchise Caliber alternative" because you need to review more than one document, Inkvex is what you need.
Can Inkvex analyze a single FDD like Franchise Caliber does?
Yes. Inkvex's $249 FDD Scan is a one-time single-FDD analysis with quoted clauses, Item-by-Item findings, jurisdiction citations, and a Cross-Reference Map showing how clauses interact. The structure mirrors what Franchise Caliber presents, with one important addition: Inkvex shows how Item 7, Item 19, and your SBA debt service compound, instead of analyzing each item in isolation.
Does Franchise Caliber cover commercial leases or asset purchase agreements?
No. Franchise Caliber reads FDDs only. APAs, leases, employment agreements, and seller notes are not offered at any price. Inkvex covers all of these document types in one platform.
Is the Deal Pack actually cheaper than buying multiple Franchise Caliber analyses?
Yes, when you have more than one document. Franchise Caliber charges $197 per FDD with no subscription option. An active ETA buyer reviewing 8 documents during a deal pays $1,576 at Franchise Caliber for FDD-only coverage. Inkvex Deal Pack at $499 covers the same buyer's entire deal across FDD, APA, lease, employment, LOI, and seller note for 90 days unlimited.
Why is Inkvex's risk score 1-10 instead of 0 to 100?
1-10 is more practical for buyer-attorney handoffs. A score of 7 of 10 communicates clearly in one sentence; a 73 of 100 needs more context. Inkvex prioritized the format that lands faster with counsel.
