# Free Monday brief: the week's best operator moments on 3 topics Verbatim Free, from The Art of Service, costs USD 0 and sends a Monday brief on 3 topics drawn from 900+ business and technology podcasts. You can search the last 7 days, run 10 searches a day, and play every quote from the exact second it was said. Verbatim Pro, at USD 29 a month, adds up to 50 topics in your own words, a watchlist of 25 names or phrases, next-morning alerts, 30 days of search, CSV export and Another view on contested claims. Page: https://verbatim.theartofservice.com/free ## What Free replaces - hundreds of hours of listening to find the one line that mattered - summaries of summaries, with the number lost on the way - AI-written content you cannot check against the source - a quote with no way to hear who said it, or when ## The Monday Sorting Line It shows how a week of 900+ podcasts becomes one Monday brief: moments are kept, ranked and dropped into your three topic trays. - **900+ shows**: business and technology podcasts, read every day - **Keep**: short, attributed, first-hand moments stay; the rest falls away - **Rank**: the moments with a name and a number rise - **Your 3 topics**: three trays you choose from the topic list - **Monday**: the trays arrive as one brief ## What arrives on Monday? A short brief on the 3 topics you picked: attributed quotes from founders, executives and operators, each one playable from the exact second it was said. Nothing is paraphrased for you. You read the line, press play, and hear the person say it. Between Mondays you can search the last 7 days of the library, up to 10 searches a day, and every result plays at its second too. The library updates every day, so a Tuesday search already shows what was said on Tuesday. Quotes are short. The full episode belongs to its publisher, and any show can ask to be removed at /takedown. How Verbatim quotes, and why it links to the second, is set out at /how-we-quote. ## What does Free leave out, and what does Pro add? Free is 3 topics from the fixed topic list, 7 days of search and 10 searches a day. That is enough for the week's best moments on a few subjects. Verbatim Pro, USD 29 a month, is for people who need the library to follow their own work: 1. Up to 50 topics, written in your own words rather than picked from the list. 2. A watchlist of 25 names or phrases, with a next-morning alert when any of them is said. 3. Search across the last 30 days, with CSV export. 4. Another view: on a contested claim, a quote from someone who said the opposite or something different. Start on Free, read a few Mondays, and move to Pro when the three trays are no longer enough. ## FAQ ### Is Verbatim really free? Yes. Verbatim Free costs USD 0.
