Pre-launch · Free across all three layers

TANDOR pricing — three engagement layers, pre-launch free phase

TANDOR is an EU-organic botanical sourcing broker with three engagement modes: per-deal transactional (L1), monthly Sourcing-as-a-Service retainer (L2), and the free TANDOR Intelligence briefing newsletter (L3). All three run free during the pre-launch phase. Transparent commercial terms publish with our formal launch later this year — agreed in writing before any paid engagement.

All three engagement layers run free

TANDOR is in pre-launch. L1 transactional sourcing, L2 Sourcing-as-a-Service pilot, and L3 TANDOR Intelligence newsletter all run free during this phase. Transparent commercial terms publish with our formal launch later this year — agreed in writing before any paid engagement.

Read about the three layers

L1 — Transactional broker

Per-deal sourcing engagement: written brief → multi-supplier comparison → sample dispatch coordination → DDP delivery + COA collection. Pre-launch free; post-launch commercial terms publish at formal launch.

L2 — Sourcing-as-a-Service (retainer)

Monthly fractional procurement arm for buyers needing continuous coverage across multiple categories. Multi-RFQ pipeline, supplier scouting on adjacent botanicals, monthly market briefing in writing. Pre-launch 3-month free pilot for first partners; retainer terms publish later.

L3 — TANDOR Intelligence (free + premium)

Adversarial-verified, peer-reviewed sourcing briefings on Carpathian + adjacent EU botanicals. Free Substack subscription — chemistry, regulatory framework, harvest windows, debunked marketing myths. No paywall, no upsell.

Pricing FAQ

What does TANDOR charge today?

Zero — across all three layers. Pre-launch free phase covers L1 transactional sourcing, L2 retainer pilots, and L3 newsletter subscription. Transparent commercial terms publish with the formal launch later this year, agreed in writing before any paid engagement.

When does the post-launch commercial model start?

With the formal commercial offering opening later this year. Existing pre-launch L1 engagements honour their free terms through their natural close. L2 pre-launch pilots run their full 3-month free period before any retainer conversion conversation.

Do buyers pay anything?

No. TANDOR is completely free for buyers. We only charge suppliers because they benefit from access to qualified B2B buyers.

Is there a subscription or listing fee?

No subscription, no setup fee, no per-listing cost — neither for buyers nor for producers. The L3 TANDOR Intelligence newsletter is also free. Producers join the supplier network without listing fees during pre-launch.

Why a broker model and not a marketplace?

Marketplaces work at scale for categories where buyers can browse. EU-organic botanical sourcing is a niche where buyer specs need analytical-grade matching and supplier identity stays confidential until a deal is in motion. A broker model with written briefs + multi-supplier comparison + per-shipment COA is the procurement-grade workflow industrial buyers actually need.
