Pricing

Priced for the size of business that has the problem

It starts at 10 lines, because the problem starts long before a business is big enough to hire someone to solve it. Every plan begins with a free trial of 30 days, with no card. Four tiers, all of them priced on the page, and no sales call to find out what the fourth one costs.

Above Scale

Monitoring more than 200 lines usually means you’ve got someone whose job this is. We’re built for businesses that don’t. If that’s you, we’re probably not the right fit, and Sastrify or Vertice will serve you better.

Is this for us?

Three questions

  1. 1

    Do you buy the same things from the same suppliers, month after month? Cases, pallets, haulage, cleaning, gloves, waste. Not one-off purchases.

  2. 2

    Do those add up to more than about £17,000 a year? That is roughly £1,400 a month. A 7% move on that is £1,190, which covers the Watch plan about three times over.

  3. 3

    Has it been more than a year since anyone checked the prices?

Three yeses and there is almost certainly money in it. If nobody has ever tendered a line, the drift has had longer to build — smaller businesses often have more to find, not less.

Cases, pallets, haulage, cleaning, waste, consumables. A rough figure is enough.

What that is worth over a year

£3,850

if a round moved 7% of it — what a competitive round often moves. Straight to profit, because none of it costs anything to earn.

12%Only where the incumbent has drifted£6,600 a year

At £55,000 a year the break-even points to Watch, which is £390 a year.

These are what a reduction of that size would be worth on your numbers. Whether the market supports one depends on how long it has been since anyone looked.

One honest caveat, and it is about volumes rather than size: if your volumes are very small, some suppliers will not quote and some will have minimum orders larger than you use in a year. We tell you when that happens rather than presenting it as an opportunity. And if a round finds nothing better than you already have, that round is free.

Questions

Straight answers

What does the free trial include?
30 days, 3 lines and 1 complete round, with no card. A complete round means you reach the comparison and see what the market actually said, which is the only honest way to judge whether this is worth paying for. Thirty days rather than fourteen because suppliers take ten to fourteen days to reply, and a trial that expires when the quotes arrive shows you nothing.
What if a round finds nothing?
Then that round is free. If nobody beats what you already pay, you have learned something useful and we have not earned anything.
What if I need more than my tier?
Extra rounds are bought one at a time, and extra lines come in blocks of 25. Both are priced with the plans above, in whichever currency you have selected. You are never billed for going over without choosing to.
Is annual cheaper?
Annual is charged as 10 months, so two are free. It is selected above by default, and every annual price shows what it works out at a month beneath it, so the amount that leaves your account is never the number you did not read.
Which currency will I be billed in?
The one your country bills in, set when you sign up and fixed after that. The switcher above is so you can read this page in a currency you think in; it is not a choice at checkout, because being billed in a currency your business does not hold creates conversion charges and refund arguments neither of us wants.
Which tier is right?
If you want to know when something moves and handle it yourself, Watch. If you want the rounds run as well, Source. The break-even figures are in the shape test and the calculator above — but it depends far more on how long it has been since anyone looked than on how big you are. Smaller businesses often have more drift, not less, because a line nobody has ever tendered has had longer to move away from the market.
What happens if I stop paying?
Monitoring pauses. Nothing is deleted, everything already produced stays readable, and any round that is live at that moment runs to completion — we are not going to abandon a supplier who took the time to quote you because a card expired.
