The math
The same federal intelligence — without the five-figure invoice.
Legacy platforms hide their pricing behind a sales call and start around $12,000/yr. The free route costs you the hours you don't have. BidStride publishes its price and scores every opportunity for you — from $150/mo.

Pricing FAQ
Questions buyers ask before they pick a plan.
Yes. The Free plan gives you 5 bid views a month against live SAM.gov data, set-aside filters, and the relevance score — no credit card, no time limit. It's capped so a real pipeline pushes you to Radar, but it's a genuine working tool, not a teaser.
Legacy tools are built for large primes with five-figure budgets and sell through quote-gated annual contracts. BidStride runs lean on the same public federal feeds (SAM.gov, USASpending, FPDS) and publishes its price openly — starting at $150/mo. You're paying for the intelligence, not an enterprise sales team.
Radar ($150/mo) is pipeline visibility — unlimited alerts, 3 NAICS codes, basic Go/No-Go scoring. Capture ($300/mo) adds full AI Go/No-Go with written rationale, competitor tracking, compliance matrices, and proposal outlines — built for proposal managers. Oracle ($600/mo) adds unlimited NAICS, the re-compete predictor, relationship intelligence, and white-glove onboarding for mid-tier primes.
Annual billing is twelve months for the price of ten — roughly 17% off. Radar is $1,500/yr instead of $1,800, Capture $3,000/yr, Oracle $6,000/yr. Toggle to Annual on the cards above to see the per-month equivalent.
Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel from billing settings whenever you want. There are no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees — access continues through the end of the period you've paid for.
Start on the Free plan, or pick up a one-time Launchpad Kit (from $47) that walks you through SAM.gov registration, NAICS selection, and your capability statement — with 60 days of Radar included. No subscription required to begin.
