The upcoming update brings some exciting changes! The most prominent include our reworked subscriptions and our Free tier for businesses at the earliest stages of growth. We're also pleased to announce that France will be joining our data marketplace! Start creating territories and immediately access all our data at any subscription level!
Due to the size and scale of this update, there will be some system downtime. We will take Vision offline for up to 3 hours on Monday, the 6th of July, at 9 PM BST. That's 4 PM in New York, 1 PM in L.A., and Tuesday, July 7th, at 6 AM in Sydney. This means that all services, including the API and FYN, will be offline at these times.
Thank you for your continued support and patience.
The biggest news for this update is the introduction of a new free tier for businesses at their earliest stages of growth.
For the first time, Vision is now truly available for businesses of all sizes, and our free package provides access to almost all of Vision’s features, with some fair limits imposed on how much you can use them.
The introduction of our new free tier is part of a major overhaul of Vision’s subscription packages. While we are migrating everyone onto the new subscription packages, there will be no increase to subscription prices for existing customers.
There’s too much to say here, so we’ve created a dedicated article covering everything to do with the changes.
Our amazing data team have also been hard at work over the last month getting new data for Vision, and we’re pleased to welcome France to our data marketplace. Bonjour!
France launches with the latest 2025 Communes and 5-digit Postcode boundaries, along with a wealth of data on population, households, and businesses.
We’re excited to support the French franchise industry within Vision, and the new dataset will be a welcome addition for our international customers, available on the Free tier or at just 126 GBP (201 USD) per month for more advanced users.
As part of our modernisation efforts, which started last year, we now have a new login area. If you bookmarked the old login page, don’t worry; We haven’t changed the URL, it just looks a lot nicer!
We all have those tasks that we don’t really want to do, but sometimes they’re necessary. We feel this way about system administration, but we also feel that when it needs to be done, you may as well enjoy the experience as much as possible!
We haven’t changed navigation and placement, so don’t worry, you won’t need to re-learn how to administer your account – we’ve just made it nicer to do!
There are several smaller improvements in this release.
Firstly, we’ve improved search performance by at least 2x, so you can find what you need even faster!
There are new drawing tools. As well as drawing a polygon by placing points, you can now use the draw rectangle function (which is really good for quick selections when building a territory), or for those who make use of custom boundaries, the new freehand drawing tool lets you place your first marker with a click and then follows your mouse around the map automatically!
And finally, we’ve made even more improvements to the UI. The new glass effects and the scrollbar might not be the most useful, but they sure do look pretty when you’re using Vision!
