GrantStation plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Membership (promotional or association rate) | $199/year | 4 | Entry tier |
| Membership (list price) | $699/year | 2 | +$500/year, 2 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring GrantStation in for a small nonprofit with no grants budget that needs a starting list of plausible funders in its state, a solo grant writer validating whether a cause area has enough funders to justify a grants strategy, an organisation whose state nonprofit association resells the membership at 75 to 139 dollars, making it near-free research, supplementing an existing donor crm with opportunity discovery without adding a second four-figure subscription. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to GrantStation are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for GrantStation
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $199/year and $699/year, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare GrantStation against the tools that do have one before committing.
GrantStation runs on web, and is published by GrantStation of Spokane, Washington, United States. The full record is on the GrantStation review, and the rest of the category is under best nonprofits tools.
