€39/month — locked for 12 months. Not €49. Not a discount code. Not a trial that auto-renews at full price. The Q3 Founder Cohort closed tonight. August opens a new window: €39/month for the first 12 months, then your choice to renew. Window closes August 31. After that, €49/month standard — no exceptions.

Planche 04 — Who It's For

Three people who lock this rate immediately.

Persona 01
Retailer Strategy Director
You benchmark against 6–8 competitors on an 18-month refresh cycle using IGD or Kantar. AisleIntel gives you weekly-resolution intelligence on the same retailers for €39/month — locked for 12 months. At €49/mo it's still cheap for your level. At €39/mo it's noise.
Persona 02
FMCG Commercial Lead
You walk into JBP negotiations with what the buyer tells you plus whatever your category team digs up. The deep dives on REWE, Edeka, Tesco, and Carrefour give you sourced margin data and format strategy your counterpart won't expect you to have. That asymmetry is worth €39/month.
Persona 03
Retail-Tech Operator
You're selling into European grocery and need to understand the actual technology decisions happening at Schwarz, Tesco, and Albert Heijn — not the press releases. The tech stack index, ESL tracker, and 22 deep dives give you the buyer's actual stack posture. At €39/month, one conversation this informs pays for 6 months.
