Still getting registered?

Stay on Free. Finish SAM and certs first, and read live notices free while you do. Paying for alerts and AI before you can legally bid is how people burn money.

Submitting your first few bids?

Basic is the plan. The pain is finding the right notices and not missing the clock, not competitor graphs.

Already bidding and losing?

Pro is for you if you need incumbents, price history, and less grinding on compliance. Credit packs are not currently offered.

Notice reviews and AI credits

Current availability appears beside each tool in the Pro plan above. Credit packs are not currently offered.

Card reviews, the FedM8 AI drawer, and scheduled briefs use credits when available. Opening a notice and reading its plain summary do not use credits. Proposal Studio outline, matrix, and export remain available without AI credits.

There is no automatic AI renewal charge. If paid AI credits ever come back, you will choose them yourself.

What does Free include?

Free costs $0. It shows where the government spends money by agency and industry, walks you through SAM and certifications in order, explains set-asides that have dollars, and lists you in the Veteran Directory. You can read every live notice SAM.gov publishes and every grant on Grants.gov, with its change history. There is also an optional weekly market email. It does not include saved searches, deadline and amendment alerts, AI summaries, or incumbent and price history. Read the Free plan
