Grantable

Overview

Grantable is a web workspace for finding funders, preparing grant applications, and managing deadlines. It is best suited to nonprofits and other grant-seeking teams that need a shared process but lack dedicated grant staff. Its breadth is the draw; the free plan’s five daily chat messages and 10 MB import cap may make regular drafting difficult without upgrading.

Key features

Funder discovery searches funder filings, giving histories, and the live web, then scores matches and explains them in plain English. Discovery is free, so teams can use Grantable for opportunity research without committing to a paid plan.

For proposal work, Grantable turns an RFP into a checklist and drafts sections from an organization’s content library. Staff still need to review and edit the drafts, but grounding them in existing organizational content can help teams without a dedicated grant writer get started. The workspace can also draft progress reports, extending its usefulness beyond applications.

Grantable tracks pipelines and deadlines in list, board, and calendar views and supports team collaboration. Recurring scans can flag opportunities and funder changes, while email lets users send work into the workspace. These features bring research and follow-through into one workflow rather than limiting the product to drafting.

Cloud imports connect Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, and Box. Imports support PDF, Word (.docx), and Excel (.xlsx) files; Google Docs and Sheets and Box Notes are converted on import. That covers common working documents, though the 10 MB import ceiling on Free is a meaningful constraint for larger files.

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; Grantable says it is selecting a new audit firm and does not claim an active certification. Teams with compliance requirements should weigh that status directly.

Pricing

Grantable uses a freemium model, with paid plans starting at $50.00 USD per month. Plans include three users.

• Free — 0.00 USD per free: Includes every capability, five chat messages a day, and file imports up to 10 MB. It is a sensible way to use free funder discovery and explore the workflow, but the chat allowance is tight for ongoing drafting.
• Starter — 50.00 USD per month: Billed $50 /month, with 50 chat messages a day, unlimited file imports, and 20× the AI capacity of Free. Eligible nonprofits can get a $25/mo price for one year. This is the practical step up for a small team that needs regular use and larger imports.
• Pro — 150.00 USD per month: Billed $150 /month, with 200 chat messages a day, unlimited file imports, and 60× the AI capacity of Free. Eligible nonprofits can get a $75/mo price for one year. The higher allowance fits heavier workloads, but teams should need that capacity to justify the higher monthly cost.
• Agency Hub add-on — 300.00 USD per month: Billed $300/mo and works with any paid plan. It is for managing multiple clients, so it is aimed at agencies rather than a single grant-seeking organization.

SSO/SAML, custom data retention, dedicated support, and API access are enterprise features to discuss with sales. Pricing questions and sales inquiries go to [email protected].

Platforms

Grantable is available on the web. Its documented cloud imports provide connections to common file-storage services, but the product’s platform is web-based.

Who it's for

Grantable makes the strongest case for nonprofits and grant-seeking organizations that want to connect funder research, proposal preparation, and deadline management in one workspace. It can be particularly useful to teams without dedicated grant staff. Organizations that need active compliance certification, or that expect to rely on high-volume AI work on the free tier, should evaluate those constraints before standardizing on it.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Free funder discovery and scored matches make it useful for research before a team adopts the paid workflow.
• Pros: RFP checklists, content-library drafting, progress reports, and pipeline tracking span more of the grant process than writing alone.
• Pros: Imports from five cloud services and recurring scans can reduce the friction of bringing existing materials and new opportunities into a shared workspace.
• Cons: Free allows only five chat messages per day and imports up to 10 MB, limiting sustained drafting and larger-file workflows.
• Cons: Grantable does not claim an active SOC 2 certification while selecting a new audit firm, which may be material for organizations with compliance requirements.
• Cons: API access and SSO/SAML are enterprise features to discuss with sales, rather than capabilities presented as part of the standard plans.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, browse Nonprofit Grant Writing Software.

• Mavenly may suit teams prioritizing an API: it offers API and web access, a free Sandbox with 500 requests per month and 2 req/sec, and a paid Starter plan at 49.00 USD per month.
• Instrumentl is worth comparing for teams considering paid grant software with a free trial; its Discover plan is 299.00 USD per year, billed $299 /month and paid upfront annually (or $349 paid monthly), for up to three users.
• Grantboost is another web-based freemium option, with a free plan capped at 10 Writer chats and 10 grant views per month; consider it if those monthly limits better match your needs.
• Grantivo offers a free plan with 10 credits, unlimited proposals and drafts, a full funder directory, requirement tracking, and readiness features; it may fit teams focused on that combination.
• Grantora has a free Community plan priced at 0.00 EUR per free, with up to four Grant Project Outputs a year and separate admin, writer, and read-only auditor roles.
• GrantAppli offers a free plan for three grant projects and a free trial, making it an option for teams comparing project-limited entry plans.
• Grantsville offers a free first application with no credit card required; consider it if starting with a single application is the priority.
• WinMyGrant has a free plan for three proposals per month, with a full seven-section proposal and support for all grant types; it is a relevant alternative for teams whose needs fit that monthly allowance.

Verdict

Choose Grantable if your nonprofit or grant-seeking team wants one web workspace for discovery, content-based drafting, and deadline tracking, especially when grant staff are stretched. Free discovery makes it easy to start, while Starter raises the daily chat and import ceilings for ongoing work. Look elsewhere if active SOC 2 certification is essential, or if your team needs enterprise features such as API access or SSO/SAML without a sales discussion.
