Free site selection tools: start with your own observations
These tools help organise evidence you collect. They do not supply verified demand, visitor forecasts or a guarantee that a business will work. A free worksheet and a paid data product are not equivalent substitutes.
Compare by use case
Site-visit worksheet · Printable
Pricing: Free · Best for: Recording observations consistently
Capture foot traffic, access and open questions on each visit. Keep dates and time windows so you can compare observations without pretending one visit represents a typical week.
Foot traffic calculator · Your counts, normalised
Pricing: Free · Best for: Converting a timed count into an hourly rate
Enter your own count and observation duration. The result is arithmetic, not a prediction of daily visitors, customers or sales.
Restaurant location scorecard · Compare your criteria
Pricing: Free · Best for: Structuring a restaurant shortlist
Rate the factors you have investigated. Use the result to discuss trade-offs; do not treat a weighted score as proof of demand or property suitability.
Spotfic sample report · See the format
Pricing: Public sample is free; a report on your own address is ₹799 / $9 · Best for: Understanding the report before purchasing
The sample shows every section of a real report. A report on your own address is paid before it runs: one report ₹799 / $9, taxes may apply.
Frequently asked questions
Are these free tools a replacement for paid visitation data?
No. They organise your inputs and observations. If you need historical visitation research, ask a data provider about coverage, methods and costs for your actual site.
Do I need to pay to use the calculators?
No. The calculators and printable worksheet are public tools. They are separate from the paid detailed report and PDF export.
