Free Tools FAQ
Account requirements, saved results, brand audit mechanics, embed widgets, attribution.
Do I need an account to use the free tools?
No. Every tool at /tools works without signup — calculators run client-side, the brand audit emails you the report. We may ask for email after you've used the tool to send you the result PDF; that's optional and never blocks the result from displaying.
Are calculator results saved across visits?
Only in your browser (localStorage). We don't store calculator inputs server-side unless you explicitly email them as part of a report. Clear your browser data and they're gone.
I lost my email subscription confirmation — what now?
Check spam, then enter the same email again at the same tool — we resend the confirmation. We don't double-subscribe; the same email is idempotent. Still nothing? Email hello@frontiervisionsmarketing.com and we'll re-fire it.
How does the brand audit work?
Submit a domain → we crawl public pages, score against 60+ brand-clarity heuristics (positioning sharpness, hero copy, social proof density, design consistency, mobile UX), and email you the report within ~5 minutes. The scoring model is open-source — see the source on GitHub for reproducibility.
Can I embed the calculators on my own site?
Yes — every calculator is also available as an embed widget at /embed. Copy the iframe snippet shown on each widget page. The embed is responsive, no JS dependencies required, ~12KB on average.
Do embeds require attribution?
No required visible attribution. We do ask the iframe src stay pointed at our domain (which is the default — please don't proxy / re-host the JS). That's enough for us to maintain it.
Are there rate limits on the free tools?
The brand audit is rate-limited to 10 domains/hour per IP to prevent abuse. Calculators are client-side, no limit. The lookup tools cap at 5 lookups/IP/hour for free users — sign up for /app to remove the cap.
What browsers are supported?
Last 2 versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge. The site is plain HTML + a tiny JS shim — works on mobile Safari and Android Chrome too. No IE11. No JS-disabled fallback (sorry, the calculator math has to run somewhere).
