How does MarbleMap make money?

Last updated on Jul 29, 2026

MarbleMap earns from subscriptions only — no cut is taken from any sale.

Revenue comes from three plan families, listed under Plans & pricing:

  • Buyer — for companies sourcing stone: open demands, collect offers.
  • Seller — for quarries and processors: submit offers, get visibility.
  • Suite — for firms doing both: one subscription, one invoice.

Buyers can start free, with 2 active demands. Suppliers need a plan — Starter, Growth or Scale — to see the market and bid on it. The core loop and sealed-bid fairness are included in every plan; what a plan sets is your offer capacity and team seats. Billing is monthly or annual, and the annual period carries the discount shown by the ~2 months free badge.

This is a deliberate choice. A platform that takes a share of every transaction has an incentive to steer the outcome and push the pricier offer. Because our revenue sits in the subscription, that incentive never exists — MarbleMap's only interest is a market that works fairly.

In practice: the contract, the price, payment, shipping and invoicing sit directly between buyer and supplier. MarbleMap is not a party to the trade and charges you nothing beyond the subscription.
