Plans and what they include
Tender Navigator offers four plans: Basic (free, no credit card required), Standard, Premium and Corporate (custom). A plan sets how many filters can be active at once, how many AI evaluations are included per cycle, and which extras such as prompt history and AI assistance are included. The Pricing page is the canonical source for current prices and per-plan figures.

The four plans
| Plan | Who it is for | How it starts |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Solo bidders and occasional tenders | Free. Chosen at signup and active as soon as your email address is confirmed. No checkout and no credit card. |
| Standard | Active bid teams monitoring a handful of markets | Monthly subscription, bought through Stripe checkout. |
| Premium | Multi-market teams running many parallel searches | Monthly subscription, bought through Stripe checkout. |
| Corporate | Enterprise and multi-seat procurement functions | Custom; arranged through a demo. |
There is no time-limited trial. Basic is free for as long as you use it, and you can move to a paid plan, change it or go back to Basic at any time.
What a plan controls
- Filters that can be active at once. Creating paused filters is unlimited; the plan caps how many run at the same time. Activating one more than allowed is refused with a message. See Activating, pausing, duplicating and deleting filters.
- AI evaluations per cycle. Every tender an active filter evaluates uses one. When the cycle's evaluations are spent, further tenders are recorded as stuck until the next cycle. See Filter usage and limits.
- Digest scheduling. Daily and weekly digests are available on every plan.
- AI evaluation is included on every plan.
- Prompt history, AI assistance, exporting results and the Pre-search tool are listed per plan on the Pricing page. AI assistance has a basic and an advanced level; see The AI assistant.
- VAT is not included in the listed prices of the paid plans and is added at checkout.
The Subscription page shows your plan's own figures: Active filters allowed (used / allowed), Evaluations used this cycle, scheduling options and archive access.
Plan ranks
Basic, Standard, Premium and Corporate are ranked in that order. A move up is an upgrade and applies immediately; a move down is a downgrade and takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for. Going back to Basic from a paid plan is a downgrade like any other. See Upgrading or downgrading your plan.
Basic is the plan every account has
Basic comes with the account. It starts when the email address is confirmed and costs nothing, so there is no payment that could fail and nothing to cancel or renew. When a paid plan ends, the account continues on Basic, within Basic's limits. See Cancelling your subscription.
If the dashboard nevertheless shows only Results, My Lists, Subscription and Account, no plan is active on the account. The Subscription page then says "You don't have an active plan" and offers Choose a plan. If you did not expect that, write to the team from the Support page.
The free Pre-search on the website
The public search on the website is free for everyone, with a five-result preview, and needs no plan. See Using the Pre-search tool.
