Free supplier quote comparison tool
Compare up to five supplier quotes on total landed cost, lead time, payment terms, warranty, specification and security evidence, weighted the way you decide.
How to compare supplier quotes fairly
The lowest unit price is rarely the lowest cost. Quotes differ in shipping, duties, fees, delivery time, payment terms and warranty, and some do not fully meet your specification. A fair comparison puts every quote on the same basis first, then weighs what matters to you.
- Normalise the price. Add shipping, duties and taxes and other fees to the goods price to get the total landed cost, in one currency.
- Check the specification. A quote that does not meet the specification is not comparable; exclude it or score it down.
- Weigh the rest. Decide how much lead time, payment terms, warranty and security evidence matter before you look at the numbers.
- Write down the decision. A short record of the scores and weights helps you explain the choice to finance, auditors or the suppliers who lost.
What is total landed cost?
Landed cost is everything you pay to get the goods to your door: the price of the goods, freight and insurance, customs duties and taxes, and fees such as handling or brokerage. Two quotes with the same unit price can differ by 10% or more once these are added. Use the duty rate that applies to your product classification and destination; this tool does not look up tariffs.
How the score works
Each criterion is scored from 0 to 100. The lowest landed cost and the shortest lead time score 100 and the others score in proportion; the longest payment terms and warranty score 100. A quote that meets the specification scores 100, partly 50 and not at all 0. Security evidence scores 100 for a verified scorecard, 70 for a certificate or audit report and 0 for none. The total is the weighted average of these scores.
Frequently asked questions
Is this quote comparison tool free?
Yes. Compare as many quotes as you like and download the result as a PDF or CSV without creating an account.
Are my quotes uploaded?
No. The comparison runs in your browser. If you add your contact details and download, Sourceably saves those details (not the quotes) so our team can help you, unless you tick "Don’t contact me".
Why does security evidence count?
If a supplier will handle your data or connect to your systems, a security problem can cost more than any price difference. Asking for evidence when you compare quotes avoids discovering it after you have signed.
Should price always have the highest weight?
For standard goods with a fixed specification, price often carries half the weight or more. For services and critical components, delivery, quality and security usually deserve more weight than a small price difference.
