What are the factually subscriptions available
Executive summary
The search results show many different uses of the word “factual” and several organizations named Factual (a location-data company, Factual Data in mortgage services, and The Factual newsletter), plus general pages about subscription services and factual data rules (e.g., publicly available factual data and subscription services) [1] [2] [3] [4]. Available sources do not provide a single, authoritative list titled “factually subscriptions available”; instead they show distinct subscription contexts (news/product subscriptions, data-as-a-service subscriptions, and industry definitions) [3] [1] [4].
1. Why the query is ambiguous — “Factual” can mean a brand or an adjective
The word “factual” in your query maps to both brand names and a descriptive term: Crunchbase and Tracxn entries identify companies called Factual (a location-data company acquired by or joined with Foursquare) while other results refer to “factual data” or “the factual” as a newsletter or news-evaluation product [5] [6] [3]. This ambiguity means there isn’t a single canonical set of “factual subscriptions” to list; you must choose whether you mean subscriptions to a brand named Factual, subscriptions to services that deliver factual content (news), or subscriptions for factual datasets [1] [3] [4].
2. Subscriptions to companies named “Factual” (location-data / data-as-a-service)
Foursquare’s announcement describes Factual as a location-data business that joined Foursquare and generated more than $150 million in combined revenue across global markets; that combined company serves thousands of customers and enterprise partners [1]. Datatrade/Datarade and Tracxn indicate Factual operates in data and API/product markets where subscription and pricing models are typical for data providers, but specific subscription tiers or consumer-facing plans are not listed in the provided pages [7] [6]. Available sources do not mention a public, consumer-style subscription catalogue (monthly tiers, free trials, etc.) for the location-data Factual; instead they imply enterprise data subscriptions and API access are the likely product forms [1] [7].
3. Subscriptions for news/evaluation products called “The Factual”
Crunchbase’s profile for “The Factual” describes it as a newsletter product that scores and curates news for credibility, suggesting a subscriber model for morning newsletters or premium news curation [3]. The Crunchbase text notes The Factual “automatically scores 20,000 articles daily for credibility,” which is the kind of service that typically offers free and premium subscription tiers, but the exact subscription options are not detailed in the available snippet [3]. Available sources do not list explicit prices, tier names, or sign-up pages for The Factual within the supplied search results [3].
4. Subscription services delivering “factual” content (documentaries, SVOD)
Industry commentary about “factual” programming (documentaries, factual television) shows that niche streaming services market “factual” content as a subscription differentiator; for example, CuriosityStream’s factual programming and low-price SVOD positioning are cited as strategic in the streaming market, with subscription price examples noted ($2.99/month or $19.99/year) in commentary on factual-streaming demand [8]. This illustrates one concrete example of a factual-content subscription offering, but it addresses “factual” as a genre rather than a single provider named Factual [8].
5. Regulatory/definition angle — “publicly available factual data and subscription services”
Thomson Reuters’ ADGM Rulebook entry clarifies a regulatory definition: “publicly available factual data” can consist solely of factual data from public sources, and the rule references data compiled by subscription services under certain conditions [4]. That indicates a formal regulatory category where subscription services can offer factual datasets subject to rules distinguishing raw factual data from value-added benchmarks or calculations [4]. If your interest is in subscribing to factual data feeds for benchmarks or compliance, that rulebook entry is directly relevant.
6. Broader subscription-market context and consumer subscription types
General overviews of subscription services highlight the broad categories consumers encounter—monthly/annual plans, boxes, SVOD, and so on—which helps frame what “subscriptions available” might mean across industries [9] [10] [11]. These sources confirm that subscription models vary widely (monthly, yearly, free trials), but they do not enumerate subscriptions specific to the term “factual” beyond the examples above [9] [11].
7. What’s missing and recommended next steps
The current reporting does not provide a consolidated list of all “factual subscriptions” (consumer tiers, prices, or sign-up links) across the different “Factual” entities or factual-content providers (not found in current reporting). To get a definitive catalogue I recommend you clarify whether you mean: (A) subscriptions to the company Factual’s data/API products (enterprise data feeds); (B) subscriptions to The Factual newsletter/product; or (C) subscriptions to streaming services specializing in factual content (e.g., CuriosityStream-like SVOD). Once you pick one of those, I can synthesize exact subscription tiers and pricing from targeted sources beyond the current set [1] [3] [8].
