Straight talk about pricing

One coffee a month.
Every bid in America.

BiddingSimple Pro is $9 a month — the same price for everyone, starting with a 7-day free trial. No per-bid fees, no cut of your wins, no enterprise tiers, no sales calls. So why isn't it just free? Here's the honest answer.

↑ This runs whether or not anyone pays. The $9 is what keeps it running.

The promise

One price. No games.

This is the part of BiddingSimple we most want to protect. Small shops and first-time bidders get the same $9 as everyone else — try all of it before paying a cent, and never get nickel-and-dimed on the way to winning public work.

No per-bid fees, ever

Win — we never take a cut

Where the $9 goes

What your $9 does before breakfast.

One part of BiddingSimple costs real money every single day — the aggregated index. The $9 isn't a profit play; it's the floor that keeps the lights on. Here's a normal morning:

  1. Before sunrise

    The sweep

    Hundreds of federal, state, and local portals get checked — every one with its own login walls, formats, and quirks. Keeping them all reporting takes real servers and real hours, every single day.

    SAM.govfederal
    COMMBUYSMassachusetts
    Bonfire — City of MesaArizona

    …and hundreds more, daily

  2. Then the cleanup

    Titles fixed, summaries written

    Government postings arrive as codes and boilerplate. We rewrite bare codes into human titles and add a plain-English summary to every bid, so you can tell in five seconds if it's yours.

    real example — cleaned + summarized in plain English

  3. Then the matching

    Radar reads your profile

    Every new bid is scored against what your shop actually does — trades, regions, sizes — and tuned by your feedback. The good ones surface; the noise doesn't.

The refusals

Things we could charge for.
And won't.

  • Run ads against your searches
  • Sell or share your data
  • Take a cut of contracts you win
  • Charge per bid, or per win
  • Name tiers after metals

$9/mo

or $99/yr — one month free

What we do instead: ask for the price of one coffee a month. Flat, cancel-anytime, the same for everyone. If we ever reach a point where we don't need it to keep the index alive, we'll be the first to drop it.

The honest receipt

What lands on your side of the counter.

One flat $9 buys the whole machine: the aggregated index, the cleaning and summarizing, and the matching on top of it — the part that costs us money every day. Try all of it free for 7 days before paying a cent.
