Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Marketing Vault?

The Marketing Vault is a SaaS web application that provides 30+ AI-powered marketing tools for coaches, consultants, and course creators. It is operated by Be Known, LLC, a Knoxville, TN marketing agency. Every tool is built from frameworks proven across $50M+ in real client sales.

Is The Marketing Vault a ChatGPT wrapper?

No. The Marketing Vault is a purpose-built SaaS platform with engineered multi-step workflows specific to marketing. It uses Claude Sonnet as the primary model with Gemini 2.5 Pro as a fallback, and each tool encodes a strategist-grade prompt chain — not a single ChatGPT prompt.

How much does The Marketing Vault cost?

Four options: a free trial with 5 AI-powered prompts and no credit card, Monthly Unlimited at $67/month, Annual Unlimited at $497/year ($397/year for the first 500 Founders annual seats), and the Founder's Charter at $1,997 one-time (lifetime access, 50 seats only, transferable on business sale). The Free ICP Builder and Free Funnel Calculator require no signup.

Does The Marketing Vault offer refunds?

Initial purchases made directly through The Marketing Vault are covered by the 30-day Create-It Guarantee: create at least one asset or campaign, and if the platform is not a fit, reply to any email from us within 30 days for a refund. AppSumo purchases follow AppSumo's separate 60-day refund policy.

How does The Marketing Vault compare to ChatGPT or Claude?

ChatGPT and Claude are flexible blank chats. The Marketing Vault adds saved Business context, guided marketing workflows, section-level revisions that carry into later steps, campaign organization and Word, PDF, PowerPoint and ZIP exports. Limits: it is marketing-focused, paid after 5 free runs, and outputs still need human review. See the full comparison table.

How does The Marketing Vault prevent invented facts?

Verified Facts is on by default. The AI uses the facts you provided and flags missing proof, numbers or quotes instead of inventing them.

Who is The Marketing Vault for?

Coaches scaling from $5K to $50K+/month, consultants who need revenue-ready marketing assets quickly, course creators launching sales funnels, and small marketing teams that need strategic output without agency-level costs.

Is there a white-label option for agencies?

Yes. The Be Known Partner Program offers white-label organization dashboards starting at $97/seat (Pay-per-User) with volume pricing down to $47/seat at 250+ seats, plus custom Enterprise pricing. Partners get custom branding, custom domains, and a branded landing page.

Who founded The Marketing Vault?
