BidscopevsBidspeed
All fifty states and Canada — not one, three, five, or ten.
If you're not using Bidscope, you're missing perfect-fit opportunities.
Most tools watch bid portals. Bidscope's agentic crawler also goes where there is no portal — into school district Google Drives, town and county websites, legal notices in local newspapers, and council and board packets. A solicitation that never reaches a portal never reaches a portal-based tool. It's still on Bidscope.
The short answer
Bidspeed sells state and local coverage by the state — one to three states on its $79-a-month GovReady tier, five on the $295 Professional tier and ten on the $1,595 Executive tier — with proposal templates and support sessions rationed by tier, while Bidscope is $45 per seat per month covering federal, all fifty states and Canada, with AI that scores every opportunity against a plain-language description of your business and then drafts, fills out and submits the proposal for you.

Why teams switch from Bidspeed
The reasons people give us on onboarding calls, in the order we hear them.
We go where the bids actually are
Bidspeed's state and local coverage is whatever fits inside the states your tier allows. Bidscope runs an agentic crawler across the whole country: into school district Google Drives, town and county sites that were never built to be scraped, legal notices in local newspapers, council and board packets. That's how we carry more state and local solicitations than any other commercially available tool — and the perfect-fit bid you never saw is usually one that never reached a portal at all.
50,000+ sources daily, including agencies with no bid portal
The proposal written, not a template to fill
Bidspeed's proposal help is a service rationed by tier: compliant-response templates and support sessions — two of each a month on its $295 Professional tier, four on the $1,595 Executive tier, where its own page puts the split as "we'll provide the outline, you provide the content." Bidscope AI writes the content. It drafts the proposal from the solicitation and its attachments using your business details, fills out the agency's own forms, price sheets and templates, and attaches your files. You review and sign, and Bidscope submits it — emailed from your own Gmail account, or printed and mailed to the agency.
A proposal a month drafted and submitted, from $45
Fifty states, not ten
Bidspeed prices state and local coverage by the state: one to three on its $79-a-month GovReady tier, five on the $295 Professional tier, ten on the $1,595 Executive tier — so even the top tier leaves forty states you can't see, and user seats are capped by tier as well. Bidscope covers federal, every state, every county, city, school district and special district, plus Canada, on every plan at $45 a seat. Deciding to chase work somewhere new costs nothing, and you add a seat when you hire.
Adding a state costs nothing
Matching that reads meaning, not filters
Search filters and alerts return what you asked for, which means the bid described in words you didn't anticipate never appears — and an AI fit review only helps on a bid you've already opened. Bidscope matches semantically against a plain-language description of your business — if your profile says tables and the RFP says desks, that's a match — and puts a relevance score on every opportunity before you open anything. When something lands that isn't a fit, delete the smart code behind it and the matching sharpens. Run several profiles at once if you have separate business lines.
A relevance score on every opportunity
The attachments, already read
Every attached document is processed before you open it, and what's inside becomes data on the opportunity: budget, bonding, insurance limits, set-asides, pre-bid meetings with the date and the Zoom link or address, local preference, place of performance, and exactly what you have to submit. Because it's structured, you filter and sort the entire list by those fields rather than opening PDFs to find out whether you're eligible.
30+ filters over extracted requirements
Your data, in your own tools
A REST API and an MCP server on Professional, so Claude, ChatGPT or your own scripts can query opportunities, awards, vendors, buyers and buyer contacts directly. Ask "which school districts in my region bought what we sell last year, and who signed off" in your own client and get real data back, rather than reading it off a dashboard and retyping it.

Contractors are winning with Bidscope
Bidscope helps first-time contractors and enterprise businesses discover and win more contracts.
“In less than three months, we secured our first contract valued at $86,000 the first year, with the possibility of renewal each year for up to 5 years total, or $430,000 in new business. Investing in Bidscope is one of the best business decisions I have made in a very long time. There are a lot of things in the market that promise to increase sales and we have invested in many of them only to be disappointed. To date, none of them has so quickly and so greatly paid off!”
“Bidscope has been a cost-effective addition to our U.S. Federal, State, and local government business development pipeline activities. It has allowed our business to broaden our awareness and reach across the government procurement landscape. The email notifications are efficient and informative, allowing for a quick and confident assessment of interest.”
“Bidscope has significantly streamlined our RFP/RFQ search process through flexible, criteria-based filtering that quickly identifies relevant opportunities. We've found RFPs we hadn't seen through other channels, even within our home state. This has allowed us to expand our reach and pursue projects we otherwise would have missed.”
“Within 12 months, Bidscope helped us secure two contracts: a one-year contract for $32,000 and another for $80,000, totaling $112,000 in new revenue for the upcoming calendar year. Its matching algorithms have greatly reduced our search time, allowing us to submit more bids, strengthen the quality of our proposals, and focus on opportunities that better align with our strengths.”

They pick Bidscope for the same one: more state and local solicitations than any other commercially available tool, matched to a plain-language profile of your business, with the proposal drafted, filled out and submitted for them, at a published $45 per seat per month.
