Nichetel's Intel Pass includes three report credits, a 20% discount on any additional individual purchase, and the same PDF plus in-browser delivery as à la carte buyers. It costs €49 as a one-off purchase covering 30 days. It does not renew, there is nothing to cancel, and it does not gate the catalog. Every report remains purchasable on its own.
This note is the plain inventory of what is in the Pass, what is not, and how it differs from bundles. Read it before checkout if you are trying to decode the pricing page without a sales call.
The three credits
Each Intel Pass grants three credits you can redeem against any report in the catalog, from a €5 micro-brief to a €75 comprehensive. Credits are the core of the product. They exist so repeat buyers do not re-enter card details three times in a row.
Credits apply to list price at the tier you pick. Choosing a €35 deep-dive spends one credit on that deep-dive. Choosing a €5 micro-brief spends one credit on the micro-brief. There is no forced tier mix.
Check /pricing at purchase time for whether unused credits survive past the 30 days. Plan as if they do not. The Pass rewards steady use, not stockpiling.
The 20% discount on extras
Beyond the three credits, Pass holders get 20% off individual report purchases in the same account. That discount is for additional à la carte buys, not a substitute for credits.
Examples at list price: €35 deep-dive becomes €28; €75 comprehensive becomes €60. The discount stacks with choosing any tier you need in a busy month when three credits are not enough.
It does not turn the Pass into unlimited access. It is a margin saver on the fourth, fifth, and sixth report inside the same 30 days.
Delivery and library access
Intel Pass reports deliver the same way as single purchases. After checkout you receive a downloadable PDF in your library and an in-browser reader for the same edition. Both stay on the account permanently for reports you redeemed.
You do not get a separate "Pass-only" format or a watered-down edition. The editorial standard is identical because it is the same product SKU, just settled with a credit instead of a one-off line item.
Invoices still arrive from billing@nichetel.com with line items and VAT details if you supplied them.
What Intel Pass explicitly does not include
No enterprise seat licensing. The Pass is a single-account product unless your firm negotiates something custom through /contact.
There is no subscription of any kind, mandatory or otherwise. OPTIONAL is on the label because à la carte buying remains the default path.
No automatic refresh of reports you bought last quarter. Refresh cadence is per report edition. When the desk updates a title, you buy or credit the new edition like any other customer.
No team analytics dashboard. Usage is visible as purchase history in your library, not as a manager console.
Intel Pass vs bundles in one glance
Bundles are prepaid multiples: 3-pack €25, 5-pack €60, 10-pack €100. Intel Pass is also one-off: €49 for three credits plus 20% off extras, good for 30 days.
Pick a bundle when you know the exact reports you want in a finite project. Pick Intel Pass when your team pulls different titles each month and might exceed three downloads.
Pick neither when one €15 standard report answers the question. The catalog is designed for that buyer too.
