Pricing designed to help you close more deals
At Algrano, we price our services based on the value they bring — like sample distribution, sales support, and logistics. There are no hidden fees. Just fair pricing that helps you stay competitive and in control.
We don’t profit from your price. We help you earn it.
Algrano isn’t a trader. We don’t buy your coffee and resell it at a markup. We don’t push you on price to protect our margin either. You set your own price and we help you stay competitive to close more deals.
Understanding Algrano's Transparent Pricing and Cost Breakdown
Our costs are mostly covered by buyers. But we also charge producers when we’re adding value to you. Producers pay when:
Algrano finds you new buyers on the marketplace
We ship a small volume with a consolidated shipment
Whenever you only need Algrano for full container logistics for your existing customers, you don’t pay for anything.
What’s behind our pricing?
Our pricing is built on three principles:
Competitive
We understand what roasters expect to pay and make sure our pricing helps you sell.
Transparent
You and the roaster always see what’s included and how much it costs. That builds trust — and better conversations about price.
Value-Driven
We charge based on the value we create, helping you win business. From sample handling to sales support, we focus on what makes your team’s life easier and your business more successful.
What extra services does Algrano provide?
Algrano is more than a box mover. We support your full sales journey and help you stay connected to your buyers.
Here’s how we compare to our competitors:

How much does it cost?
While there are no fixed prices, you only pay for what you use — and only when a sale happens.
If your volume is too low to ship on your own, you may join a consolidated shipment and share the cost. All pricing is shown in your offer, down to the cent, before it’s published. Our fee is included in the FOB price and deducted only when we pay you.

Just create a private offer.
What do we mean by “transparent pricing”?
When you create an offer, we show you:
The exact amount you and your roaster will be charged for the landed coffee, in USD per kilo
A breakdown of what’s included, including our margin
Why this matters:
Landed prices help you have better conversations with buyers
You can compare your prices against importers and the spot market
Cost overview lets you choose if you want to absorb our fee or pass it on
Pricing for Roasters
Your customers only pay for what they really need
Roasters on Algrano only pay for the services they use. Freight is required for all, but most other services are optional — and often charged pay-as-you-go.
Flat fees look simple but don’t adapt to roasters’ needs, so they often end up paying more than they should.
Here’s how it works:
Quality Assurance
if a roaster is already calibrated with you, they can skip QA by receiving samples directly. But if they want support — checking offer, PSS, or landed samples — we can cover that too.
Financing
most roasters use Algrano to finance orders. Terms are flexible, from 10 days post-delivery to 30+ days. They pay a financing fee each time they release coffee.
Warehousing
if they can’t store all the coffee themselves, we manage that too. Storage costs (warehouse rent) are only charged at release.
Like with you, roasters see a full price breakdown before signing anything. They can also use our financing and warehousing calculators to estimate total costs and plan ahead.
“One of the main benefits for me is that I can choose the services I want. For the coffees from Fazendas Klem, Algrano does quality assurance. For the ones from Cafesmo, Algrano only does the shipping, because we’ve been there and cupped with Sebastian. I can save money depending on the service I choose.”
We reward loyalty
Loyalty Benefits
Stronger relationships lead to smoother trades. That’s why we reduce our fees when a roaster buys more from the same producer. More volume = lower price per kilo.
Automatic Discounts
And the more a roaster sources through Algrano overall, the lower their costs per kilo. Discounts are applied automatically and shown in their cart before checkout.
