Frequently asked questions
How is Tastewise priced, and is there a list price?
No list price is published. The pricing page states that plans scale with modules and market coverage, and a calculator produces a tailored proposal covering team access, market coverage and brief volume. Enterprise plans are offered for large CPG organisations with multi-market, multi-brand needs. Budget for a scoped custom quote and an annual commitment rather than a per-seat list price.
How fast does a team see value?
The vendor FAQ states a custom report in under 48 hours, briefs in 24 hours, custom UI agents (Studio) in 3 to 10 weeks, and custom data products in 10 to 24 weeks. Reference customers cite insight validation in about a minute, 25% faster time to shelf at Waitrose, and 50% fewer touchpoints at Violife. Time to first brief is therefore fast; deeper custom builds take weeks.
What data does Tastewise run on, and how current is it?
Consumer panel, retail data including NIQ retail sales, shelf assortment, new product launches, restaurant menus, c-store, K-12 and C&U, hotels, plus the customer's own CRM, ERP and files, across 59 markets and refreshed daily. A food ontology and entity resolution map one product across a TikTok caption, a retail sales line and a menu line, with the vendor claiming 95% F&B classification accuracy.
Can Tastewise work inside the AI assistants and tools we already use?
Yes. The integrations page lists roughly 30 connectors, including ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Perplexity through the Tastewise MCP connector, plus Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Snowflake, Databricks, Amazon S3, Power BI, Tableau, Looker, Notion, Zapier and a REST API with webhooks. Tastewise positions itself as feeding intelligence into existing BI, CRM and AI tools rather than replacing them.
Are agent outputs explainable and auditable, and which certifications apply?
The site states that every agent run is logged with each tool call, source and confidence score, citations attach to every claim, and agents act under user-level permissions. Compliance claims displayed on the marketing pages include ISO 27001, ISO 42001 (AI), GDPR, CCPA and EU AI Act. These are vendor claims on marketing pages, not accompanied by an audit report in the material reviewed, so verify certificates directly with Tastewise before relying on them in procurement.
