Drop in your solicitation and we'll read every page and tell you what it takes to win it. That part is always free, no account, no card. When you're ready to build the proposal, you see the exact price first, and we build it with you.
No subscription, nothing monthly. You pay once, right before Scout builds your proposal, and you always see the price first.
Every new account starts with 20 free credits, so most people don't buy a pack until their first build or two is already behind them. After that: prepaid packs, no subscription and nothing monthly. Credits don't expire, so buy a pack and use it whenever the right job comes along. Bigger packs cost less per credit.
Most small contractors don't bid every week. You bid when the right job comes up, maybe a few times a year. Charging you every month for something you use once in a while never felt right. So there's no subscription. You buy a pack of credits, and you only spend them when there's a real bid on the table and Bidographer is doing the work.
You'll always see exactly what a proposal costs before you commit to it, never after. And the read is free, so you're never paying just to find out whether a job is worth your time. A simple solicitation runs about 5 credits, around $25. Bigger, more complex ones take more work and cost more. Five credits is the floor, there's no ceiling, and the number is on your screen before a single credit is spent. That's the whole system.
The read works on any deadline, so send us anything, any time. Once you've answered our questions, your packet comes back within 72 hours. Your own paperwork needs room on top of that, though, so send it with at least 7 days on the clock, or 10 if a bond or MBE/WBE participation is required: a surety, an insurance agent, a notary, and subcontractors all take days to come through. Inside that window we'll still send you the read for free and tell you honestly that it's too tight to build properly.
We fill in the paperwork, but some things only you can do, and it's better to hear that now than the night before the deadline. You set your price, and your price stays yours, we never touch it. You sign every form in wet ink. You get the non-collusion affidavit notarized. You handle the bid deposit or bid bond, and your insurance certificate. And you acknowledge any addenda the agency issues. We also don't invent qualifications, numbers, or promises you never made, so everything on the page traces back to your own answers and the solicitation itself.
If a counselor or advisor is helping you go after government contracts, they can offer their clients discounted access to Bidographer. Ask your counselor, or see how the counselor program works.
The read is free. You'll know whether it's worth your time in about a minute.
