Two products, one data engine. Whether you sell cannabis or sell it at retail — CannaiQ gives you the visibility to act, not just observe.
Everything your sales team needs to win more placements, defend accounts, and prove ROI — one brand, one state.
Everything in Growth plus multi-state aggregation, territories, team seats, and long-view competitive intelligence. 2 states included.
Average wholesale revenue per dispensary account: $2,000–8,000/month (per LeafLink industry data — national flower AOV is $4,500+ with biweekly reorders). Two additional placements = $4,000–16,000 in new monthly revenue. Growth costs $995/month. The tool pays for itself with one win. Everything after that is margin.
That's 30 customers per month who didn't drive to the competitor. At an average $50 ticket, that's $1,500 in retained revenue. CannaiQ Retailer costs $99. Most dispensary operators spend 2–3 hours per week manually checking competitor menus. We do it automatically, every hour.
Side-by-side across every dimension that matters.

CannaiQ does not require your POS data — and will never ask for it. Capabilities marked "No (requires POS)" are internal operations tools for managing your own store. Everything else is external intelligence: what the market is doing, where your competitors are, and where you should grow next.
Book a 15-minute demo and we'll show you your brand's data live. If it's a fit, you're onboarded the same day — no POS integration, no IT team, no setup fee. Retailer accounts can request access directly and get activated within 24 hours.
Yes. Both plans are month-to-month with no annual commitment required. Cancel anytime from your account settings. Enterprise customers on annual agreements receive a discounted rate.

Add additional competitors at any time for $19/month each. There's no upper limit. Most retailers monitor 3–5 nearby stores, but some chain operators monitor 10+ across their market.
No. CannaiQ works without any technical integration on your end. You don't need to connect your POS, share sales data, or install anything. Create an account, identify your store or brand, and your dashboard is populated automatically.
Every legal cannabis market in the United States, Canadian provinces (Ontario, Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan, and more), and Puerto Rico. Our proprietary data engine observes over 11,000 dispensary shelves across North America, with new markets added regularly.
Headset is POS-based market research — great for category-level market share, but requires retailer participation and updates weekly. Hoodie offers daily shelf data. CannaiQ updates every 5–60 minutes, provides SKU-level detail including quantities and prices, scores expansion targets, tracks wins automatically, and doesn't require POS integration. We're the action layer, not just the data layer.
We are not a POS system. We are not a loyalty platform. We are not a compliance tool. We are what you look at when you want to know what is happening outside your four walls — and what you should do about it.
Before you renew Headset or Hoodie, spend one week in CannaiQ. Check your expansion targets. Review your competitive alerts. Look at your velocity rankings and demand forecast. Then ask: what is the other platform giving me that this isn't? If the answer is "nothing I actually use on my sales calls," you've just saved $2,000 a month.
No POS integration, no IT team, no setup fee. Buy now or see your brand's data live in a 15-minute demo.
