How much does automatic temperature monitoring cost? Real examples for a small business

The question we get most often: "how much will it cost me?" Short answer: a small business fits into €215 one-off + €13 a month — and if you don't want an upfront investment, the whole setup is available on rental. Here is the full price breakdown, no marketing fog.

What makes up the price

• Gateway (a small device on site that collects sensor data): purchase from €145 or rental from €6/month.
• Sensors: wired €35, battery-powered wireless €89 (or rental €2 and €4/month). Every sensor ships calibrated, with a calibration certificate included.
• Monthly service: €9 per site + €2 per sensor — cloud, automatic HACCP records as PDFs, phone alarms, 5-year archive and support.
• Optional: internet via our SIM (+€6/month), accredited laboratory calibration (€49/sensor), 10% off monthly fees when paying yearly in advance.

Example 1: a café or small shop

One fridge + one freezer, internet over your Wi-Fi. Two wired sensors routed through the door seal — no drilling.

• Purchase: €215 one-off (gateway €145 + 2 sensors), then €13/month.
• Rental: €0 upfront, €23/month in total (+ €89 refundable deposit).

Example 2: a restaurant with 4 monitoring points

Three wired sensors (fridges, display case) + one wireless in a freezer further from the kitchen. The gateway needs a wireless receiver and a wired-sensor adapter.

• Purchase: €429 one-off, then €17/month.
• Rental: €0 upfront, €37/month in total (+ refundable deposits).

Buy or rent?

Buying has no contract lock-in and is cheaper long-term — the hardware is yours. Rental has zero upfront cost, service and replacements included, with a 24-month commitment. Most small businesses buy; rental makes sense when opening a new site and every euro upfront matters.

A paper log is not free

Two manual entries a day take staff roughly 10 minutes — over 60 hours of work a year. At any hourly rate that is more than the whole monitoring costs — plus the risk of gaps in records and fines during inspections.
