Common questions
Why flat pricing instead of per-user or per-shipment?
Per-user pricing punishes you for hiring. Per-shipment pricing punishes you at peak season — exactly when cash is tight. Flat pricing lets you plan. We absorb the AI cost; you focus on margin.
What happens if I exceed my BL limit?
Nothing breaks. You keep working. We bill ৳40/BL at end of month — about a fifth of what manual data entry actually costs in clerk time. No surprise overages, no "your account is suspended" emails. You can also upgrade tier any time.
Do you accept bKash or bank transfer?
Yes — bKash, Nagad, BRAC Bank, City Bank, DBBL, all accepted. Card payments via SSLCommerz. International cards via Stripe. We invoice in BDT by default; USD on request.
Can I switch plans mid-month?
Yes, instantly, prorated. Upgrade for the rest of the month, downgrade at next renewal.
Is the data stored in Bangladesh?
Hosted in Singapore — lowest latency from Bangladesh, under 50ms from Chattogram, Dhaka, and Sylhet. Bangladesh data residency available on Scale plan with 3-month notice.
What's the free trial like?
14 days, full Growth features, no credit card. Our team helps you set up the first carrier rate sheet, customer list, and quote template — even on the trial.
What if I'm a solo forwarder just starting out?
Start on Free — 5 quotes and 3 BLs a month, forever, BandarTrade-branded PDFs. When you outgrow it, Starter is ৳5,000/month, roughly half a day of one shipment's profit. If BandarTrade doesn't pay for itself in week one of a paid plan, message us — we'll refund.
Do you charge for support?
Never. Email + WhatsApp included on every plan. Phone support on Growth and Scale. We do not sell training as a separate SKU.
