What each plan actually includes
Free Forever is a working research tool, not a trial: unlimited basic searches across $7.2 trillion in federal award history, live SAM.gov opportunity search, Recompete Radar (every contract expiring in the next 180 days), contractor and agency profiles with protest records, and a free teaser on every premium tool - the RFP Shredder returns deadline, page limit, shall-statement count, and top evaluation factor on any solicitation without payment.
Researcher ($49/mo) adds the monitoring layer: 10,000 searches a month, unlimited email alerts with saved-search delta digests, the NAICS Competition Analyzer, the recompete pipeline dashboard (25 tracked items), CSV export, 100 API calls a day, and a weekly AI match digest.
Professional ($199/mo) adds the decision layer, which is the reason most subscribers pick it: pWin Verdict Engine win-probability scores, Price-to-Win bid bands, the full RFP Shredder compliance matrix, complete Buyer Intelligence briefs, forensic audit mode, Go/No-Go scoring, the Contract Growth Tracker, the Set-Aside Scanner, unlimited pipeline, 100,000 searches, 1,000 API calls a day, and a daily digest.
Professional Team ($399/mo) is Professional for a 3-seat capture team with a shared pipeline and a single invoice - less than most platforms charge for one seat.
Enterprise ($999/mo) removes every limit and adds team management, API v2 and MCP access for wiring Fed-Spend into your own tooling, and a dedicated manager.

The delta is not only price. The legacy platforms sell tabs of data and leave the synthesis to you. Fed-Spend's paid tiers sell the synthesis: a win probability, a bid band, a compliance matrix, a buyer brief. The side-by-side pricing comparison of all four platforms has the full breakdown.

Frequently asked questions
Is there really a free plan? Yes, permanently, no credit card. Unlimited basic searches, Recompete Radar, and free teasers on the premium tools.
Can I cancel anytime? Yes, self-serve from the dashboard, no retention call. Monthly plans stop at the end of the period. There is also a money-back guarantee window on new subscriptions.
Do prices change with seats? Researcher and Professional are single-seat. Professional Team covers 3 seats at $399/mo. Enterprise seats are custom but published-price at $999/mo to start.
Is annual billing required? No. Annual saves 20% but every plan is available month to month. The legacy platforms generally require annual contracts.
What data does Fed-Spend use? The same public sources the expensive platforms use: USASpending.gov, SAM.gov, FPDS-NG, FSRS, GAO protest records, and CPARS-derived performance signals, updated continuously.
