People bring Submittable in for a foundation running an open grant round where a volunteer panel must score hundreds of applications without seeing applicant identities, a corporate giving team collecting employee-nominated grant requests and needing an audit trail for finance, an arts council managing fellowship and residency applications with multi-stage juries, a city agency distributing relief funds and required to show equitable review and decision records. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Submittable are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Nonprofits

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Submittable badges page.
Before you pay for Submittable
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: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Submittable against the tools that do have one before committing.
Submittable runs on web, and is published by Submittable of Missoula, Montana, United States. The full record is on the Submittable review, and the rest of the category is under best nonprofits tools.
