LocalPulse and PredictHQ
PredictHQ built the reference event dataset for demand forecasting, before typed judgment models like Jev existed. LocalPulse is built on top of that idea: instead of one ranking per event for everyone, it understands each business and signs every driver and event for it. Here is a fair look at where each fits.
Side by side
Data for your models, or the answer for your business.
| PredictHQ | LocalPulse | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | Mainly data-science and analytics teams at larger companies, who build their own forecasts with its data. | Operators of any size, who want the answer; plus an API export for organisations that also have a data team. |
| Core product | A global database of verified, ranked events (concerts, sport, conferences, school and public holidays, severe weather and more) with predicted attendance, delivered by API and data integrations, plus demand-intelligence features built on it. | An explanation of your own demand, a forecast blended with bookings on the books, pace against last year, alerts, and suggested actions with a $ range. |
| How an event is valued | Event rank and predicted attendance, with features and tools to correlate event categories with a customer's demand. | Jev scores each event for each business with a direction (draws your customers, blocks access, displaces regulars), a size and a confidence; your data then sizes it. |
| Drivers that hold demand back | Data science teams can model negative effects in their own models. | Suppressors are first-class: every driver and event carries a sign, and the dashboard splits what lifts you from what holds you back. |
| Your own data | Customers combine PredictHQ data with their own demand data in their own models. | Upload a CSV or connect your booking system: daily totals, bookings on the books, capacity and customer countries (as counts only). |
| Beyond events | Event-centred, including holidays and severe weather. | Events plus weather against normal, paydays, local news and disruption, visitor-market holidays, official arrivals, exchange rates and cruise calls. |
| Actions and accuracy | Forecasting and decisions are generally built by the customer's team. | Actions limited to the levers your business has, measured afterwards; forecast error by horizon on your own days, next to simple baselines. |
| Pricing | Typically sold as an enterprise contract; see PredictHQ for current plans. | Published monthly plans with a free trial; the feature export API is in the Group plan. |
