Thinking about switching franchise research tools? We built FDDIntel because existing options left too many questions unanswered. Here is how we compare to the most popular platforms.
Most franchise research platforms are directories that list franchise opportunities and collect lead forms. Some offer ratings or rankings, but few dig into the actual financial documents that matter most: the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
FDDIntel analyzes the actual FDD data — Items 5, 6, 7, 19, and 20 — to give you concrete numbers on investment costs, ongoing fees, unit economics, closure rates, and growth trends. No guesswork, no marketing spin.
