Grantable

Overview

Grantable brings grant discovery, proposal drafting, and deadline management together for nonprofits and other grant-seeking organizations. It is especially suited to small teams without dedicated grant staff. Its strongest case is a single workspace spanning the search through reporting; daily chat and file-size limits make the free plan a constrained way to do sustained proposal work.

Key features

Funder discovery draws on funder filings, giving histories, and the live web, then scores potential matches with plain-English reasoning. Discovery is free, making this useful even for organizations that want to start with research rather than pay for a broader workflow.

For drafting, Grantable converts an RFP into a checklist and uses an organization’s content library to draft proposal sections. People review and edit the output, so it can reduce repetitive preparation but does not remove the need for staff judgment. It can also draft progress reports, extending its use beyond applications.

Pipeline and deadline tracking is available in list, board, and calendar views, with team collaboration. Recurring scans can look for new opportunities and funder changes, and work can be sent to the workspace by email. Cloud imports connect Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, and Box. Supported imports include PDF, DOCX, and XLSX; Google Docs and Sheets and Box Notes are converted on import.

Grantable says data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest, and customer content is not used to train AI models. Users can access, export, or delete their data. Its most recent SOC 2 Type II examination covered April 9–July 9, 2025; the company says it is selecting a new audit firm and does not claim an active certification.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes every capability, but limits users to 5 chat messages a day and file imports up to 10 MB. That is a sensible way to explore discovery and the workflow, but a tight ceiling for teams drafting regularly or importing larger files.

Starter costs $50 a month, billed $50 /month. It raises the daily allowance to 50 chat messages, removes the file-import limit, and provides 20× the AI capacity of Free. Eligible nonprofits can pay $25/mo for 1 year. Starter is the practical entry point for a small organization that needs routine drafting and imports.

Pro costs $150 a month, billed $150 /month, with 200 chat messages a day, unlimited file imports, and 60× the AI capacity of Free. Eligible nonprofits can pay $75/mo for 1 year. It is better suited to heavier daily use than Starter, though the higher price is difficult to justify for teams that do not need its additional capacity.

The Agency Hub add-on costs $300 a month, billed $300/mo, works with any paid plan, and is for managing multiple clients. Enterprise options include SSO/SAML, custom data retention, dedicated support, and API access; contact [email protected] for sales and pricing questions. Grantable includes 3 users.

Platforms

Grantable is a web workspace, with cloud imports from major storage services rather than a listed device-specific app.

Who it's for

Grantable fits nonprofits and grant-seeking organizations that want one place to find funders, prepare applications, and keep deadlines and reporting on track. Teams without a dedicated grant writer may particularly value the drafting support and shared pipeline. Organizations needing more than occasional AI work should weigh the paid tiers against their expected daily message volume.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Free funder discovery makes match research accessible without committing to a paid plan.
• Pros: RFP checklists, content-library drafting, pipeline views, and progress-report drafting cover multiple stages of grant work.
• Pros: Broad cloud imports and recurring scans can reduce the friction of assembling materials and watching for opportunities.
• Cons: The free plan's 5 daily chat messages and 10 MB import cap can quickly limit active application work.
• Cons: Pro costs $150 a month, a substantial step up for teams that only need modest AI capacity.
• Cons: The company does not claim an active SOC 2 certification while it selects a new audit firm.

Alternatives

Compare nonprofit grant writing software if you want to consider the category more broadly.

Grantboost is a web-based freemium option with 10 Writer chats and 10 grant views per month on its free plan; consider it if those lower monthly allowances suit your needs.

Grantora has a free Community plan with up to 4 Grant Project Outputs per year, 5 MB secure storage, and separate admin, writer, and auditor access; it may suit a team prioritizing those role distinctions.

GrantLoop is a consultant-focused option with a $2,999 a month Platform plan; consider it if that stated consultant orientation matches your work.

GrantAppli offers a free plan for 3 grant projects and a free trial, making it an alternative for a capped project-based start.

Grantivo is another web-based freemium alternative.

Mavenly is a paid web and API option with a free Sandbox of 500 requests per month and a Starter plan at $49 a month; consider it if its request-based sandbox and API access match your workflow.

GrantAdvance offers a paid 3-Year Membership at $167 a year, billed as $6,000 upfront ($2,000 / yr), with one user included; consider it if a multi-year commitment and single included seat suit your organization.

Instrumentl is a paid web and API alternative with a free trial; its Discover plan is $299 a year, billed $299 /month and paid upfront annually (or $349 paid monthly), for up to 3 users.

Verdict

Grantable is a strong fit for grant-seeking organizations that want discovery, proposal preparation, and deadline management under one roof, especially teams with limited grant-writing staff. Free discovery and integrated workflow are compelling reasons to start; look elsewhere if your priority is avoiding daily AI limits without paying, or if an active SOC 2 certification is a requirement.
