Why it’s different #
Other competitive-intelligence platforms gate their data behind a demo call and an enterprise contract. IndustryLens is queryable from the tools you already work in, on a public tier, with published pricing and no demo gate.
Privacy #
The public server returns facts about companies and the existence of strategic shifts — never any customer’s private data, and never who tracks whom. Full per-account intelligence and deeper analysis live in your IndustryLens account.
Add as a Claude plugin marketplace #
In Claude.ai, open Customize → Personal plugins → Create plugin → Add marketplace and paste the URL below. IndustryLens’s public and account servers then appear as one-click installable plugins. In Claude Code, run /plugin marketplace add IndustryLensOp/claude-plugins
.
