Why not just use USASpending.gov?

USASpending is the source — but it was built for government transparency, not business development. Here's what you're missing:

No set-aside filtering

Can't filter awards by HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, or 8(a). If you're a set-aside business, you're scrolling through irrelevant results.

No competitor tracking

Want to see every contract a competitor won this year? That takes dozens of clicks. Here, it's one search.

No spending trends

USASpending shows raw numbers. We show you which agencies are increasing spend in your NAICS code quarter over quarter — so you know where to focus.

No export for proposals

Building a past performance section or mapping the competitive landscape? Export filtered results as CSV instead of copying data cell by cell.

Frequently asked questions

Is $49/mo worth it for my small business?

One federal contract can be worth $50K–$50M. Pro gives you the tools to find those opportunities before your competitors do — unlimited searches to explore every NAICS code, spending trends to spot agencies ramping up budgets, and CSV export to build target lists for your proposals. If it helps you win even one additional contract, it pays for itself for decades.

How is this different from USASpending.gov?

USASpending has the same underlying data, but it's built for government transparency — not business intelligence. Finding competitor awards requires navigating multiple pages, and there's no way to filter by set-aside type, export results, or track spending trends by NAICS code. We turn that raw data into actionable intelligence you can use in proposals.

Where does the contract data come from?

All data comes directly from USASpending.gov, the official source for federal spending data. It's updated daily and covers every awarded federal contract. We don't modify the data — we make it searchable and useful.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No long-term commitment. Manage or cancel your subscription anytime from your Stripe billing portal. Your access continues through the end of your billing period, and saved searches are preserved if you resubscribe later.

Do you offer a trial?

The free tier is your trial — search up to 10 times per day with full access to contract data and agency spending. When you're ready for unlimited searches, trends, and export, upgrade to Pro.
