Who Pays

Three market segments, ordered by near-term revenue potential.

Primary Revenue

Benefits Advisors & Brokers

The benefits advisory market is large and fragmented — thousands of small-to-midsize firms advising employers on health plan design, network selection, and cost management. They need rate benchmarking data that currently requires expensive enterprise contracts or manual research.

Each advisor serves multiple employer clients. A single subscription generates value across a portfolio — multiplicative reach from a single sale. Sales cycles are shorter than health system deals, and price sensitivity is lower because the data directly enables revenue-generating advisory work.

Revenue model: SaaS subscription (advisor tier) + API access for workflow integration

Secondary Revenue

Health Systems & Compliance Teams

Hospitals need to monitor their own CMS compliance and benchmark against competitors. With penalties at $5,500/day, compliance is budget-justified — and compliance officers are a defined buyer persona with purchasing authority.

ClearPrice tracks 141 hospitals with CMS enforcement records and 28 with published penalty documents. This enforcement intelligence is the foundation for a compliance monitoring product.

Revenue model: SaaS subscription (admin tier) + compliance monitoring add-on

Demand Engine

Consumers — Organic Traffic & Brand

The consumer app is not the primary revenue target. It is the organic traffic engine that powers the entire go-to-market strategy.

Quality-price inversion — the finding that hospitals with higher quality ratings often charge less — is a counterintuitive, shareable insight. It drives organic discovery, media coverage, and word-of-mouth. Consumer engagement generates brand awareness, SEO authority, and inbound leads for the B2B segments that monetize.
