Full intelligence. Full network.
Forecast before you quote.
Unlimited users, SSO, dedicated infrastructure, native ERP integrations (SAP, NetSuite, Oracle), custom contracts, and a dedicated customer success manager. We will build a plan around your workflow.
Growth and Intelligence plans include the full intelligence stack: pricing data, benchmarks, AI analysis, and vendor scorecards, so you are not just collecting quotes, you are making better decisions.
Every transaction across the BlastRFQ network feeds an anonymized pricing database. See what other buyers are actually paying for the same grades and forms, not list prices, real transaction data.
Steel, aluminum, and copper spot prices pulled from FRED and commodities data, updated regularly. See them alongside every incoming quote so you always know where the market is.
Every award is logged, material, grade, quantity, price, vendor, date. Search it, export it, track cost trends over time. Your own procurement data, organized and searchable.
AI surfaces context on every quote, price vs. market, lead time, completeness, so you can spot the best deal fast. You make the call. AI gives you the intel to make it confidently.
Save your common specs, material, grade, form, quantity, delivery window. Reuse them in under a minute. Repeat orders that used to take 20 minutes take two.
Every supplier is graded on quote history, pricing vs. market, and delivery reliability. Know who to trust before you award. Know who to cut before they hurt you.
Buyers pay a monthly subscription (Starter, Growth, or Intelligence). Vendors pay nothing to receive RFQs or submit quotes. When a vendor wins a job, they pay a 2% commission on the awarded value. The commission is vendor-side only, buyers are not charged per-award.
Yes. Founding pilot members get 6 months free on any paid tier through August 31, 2026. After that, Starter and Growth include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
Absolutely. No annual contracts on Starter or Growth. Cancel anytime from your billing settings and you keep access through the end of your billing period.
Every transaction on the platform contributes to an aggregate pricing database, stripped of buyer and vendor identity. When you review a quote, you can see how it compares to what other buyers have paid for the same material, grade, and form. Real transaction comps, not published list prices.
After posting your first RFQ for a material, save the spec as a template, grade, form, quantity range, delivery window, notes. Next time, load the template and adjust what changed. Most repeat orders take under two minutes.
No. Vendors get a unique link by email and submit their quote through a simple web form. No signup, no password, no friction. The easier it is to quote, the more quotes you get.
Any vendor record in your BlastRFQ account, company name, email, material specialty. Contacts are shared across all your RFQs and counted toward your plan limit.
The commission funds the platform for both sides, the infrastructure, the AI analysis, the benchmark data, the anonymized pricing network. Vendors who generate $100K or more in total awarded business through BlastRFQ earn a reduced rate of 1%.
