Use the level of support your decision actually needs.

Updated September 2026

I keep the public conclusions free. Pay only when you need reusable working data, a team operating system, direct judgment on a consequential decision, or commercial rights to use the research.

My recommendation: Start free for a single decision. Choose Pro for reusable data, the Revenue Travel OS for a repeatable team cadence, and advisory when a specific high-stakes decision needs my judgment. Operators and platforms use separate certification, partnership, and licensing paths so payment never touches an editorial verdict.

Data licences — from 33 cents a day, machine-purchasable

The white-label managed service at the top of this ladder is $12,000 a year. The same corpus, licensed for a single agent, is $10 every 30 days — about 33 cents a day for an agent that never sleeps. Between them sits everything else. The data itself stays free under CC BY 4.0 with attribution — no key, no signup, no fee, ever; the free tier is the data. What a paid licence buys is what CC BY never grants: attribution-free use, software integration, agent grounding, and managed-service delivery. A licence conveys reuse rights; it buys no rating, no ranking, and no recommendation, ever. An agent can read the price, pay USDC on Base or Solana directly to the desk's published wallets, and hold a signed grant without emailing anyone — /api/license speaks HTTP 402. Every monthly tier is a 30-day grant the buyer renews by paying again; the whole loop is machine-completable, so an agent's subscription is simply its own repeat purchase.

Agent access · $10 every 30 days · start here

Agent access, $10 every 30 days: one agent grounds its answers on the corpus and uses the licensed API, attribution-free in that agent's outputs, renewing whenever the agent pays again.

Agent access annual, $100 a year: twelve months of one agent grounding on the corpus and the licensed API, for the price of ten.

Builder · $49 every 30 days

Builder, $49 every 30 days: one product integrates the corpus into software, with no attribution required inside that product.

Builder annual, $490 a year: twelve months of one product integrating the corpus, for the price of ten.

Team · $199 every 30 days

Team, $199 every 30 days: one organisation builds the corpus into its customer-facing products, attribution-free, and redistributes derived results to its own users.

Team annual, $1,990 a year: twelve months of organisation-wide integration and redistribution, for the price of ten.

Managed service — white label · $12,000/year

Managed service (white label), $12,000 a year: the corpus as a white-label feed with resale rights, issued against a named agreement.

Grants are signed by the desk and verifiable by anyone, free, forever, at /api/license?verify=<token>. The monthly tiers issue automatically the moment the payment verifies at the archival endpoint this desk controls; the white-label tier is issued by a person, against a named agreement.

Paying by card? Stripe checkout (monthly and annual subscriptions) is coming soon. Today the live rail is crypto: USDC on Base or Solana, purchased automatically at /api/license. Questions: rachel@thesalestraveler.com.

Sponsorship buys reach and labour, never a rating. Every sponsored placement is disclosed, appears only on non-scoring surfaces, and the gate that keeps commerce off scoring pages stays exactly as strict as it is.

Sponsored quest campaign · from $3,000

Sponsored quest campaign, from $3,000: the desk designs and hosts the campaign; the sponsor funds the rewards; the sponsorship is disclosed on every surface it touches.

Hosted AMA · $1,500

Hosted AMA, $1,500: a moderated session with the desk's audience, disclosed as sponsored.

Brief sponsorship · $750

Brief sponsorship, $750: one daily business-travel brief carries a disclosed sponsorship slot; the editorial content is untouched.

Enquiries: rachel@thesalestraveler.com, these involve a named person's time, so there is no self-serve checkout to point at.
