Like how so? It's essentially competitive analysis as a service... There are known templates in which these are formatted. I would simply do one for a company every quarter, and list each source in the back. You're telling me I'm not being specific enough, yet you are doing the same. It goes both ways I guess

Don't describe it as if everyone should already know what you're talking about. You're not going to sell anything to anyone that way. And you definitely won't sell a service based on "known templates" and doing what everyone else is doing.
I know exactly what they offer, but you are the one selling right now. You can't just say, "I'm selling what everyone else is selling, wanna give me $30/month?"
What makes you different? Why are you better? What are the benefits? What value does it provide and to who?
In B2B, you could charge $200 a month and it wouldn't make a difference -- it's not their money that they are spending. A lot of little things, such as export to PDF, are much more important. Know your customer and know your product.
