How we differ from HigherGov,
GovWin & Bloomberg Government.
We're not trying to out-feature a full capture suite. We sell the one thing they bury inside a seat license and price out of reach for small teams: the fresh delta + recompete-vulnerability signal, agent-callable, at a fraction of the cost.

The honest table
| Dimension | GovWin / Bloomberg Gov | HigherGov | GovCon Intelligence (us) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual price | $12k–$42k/yr, enterprise sales | ~$500–$2k/yr | $0 to browse · $300–$1,800/mo · resell $2k–$8k/mo |
| Recompete radar (expiring + named incumbent) | Yes, inside seat suite | Yes | Yes — free to browse per NAICS/agency, with predicted incumbent-vulnerability |
| Award delta feed (cursor: only what changed) | Limited / report-style | Saved-search alerts | Yes — whats_changed_since(cursor) primitive |
| Agent-callable (MCP) | No | No | Yes — native MCP, four tools |
| Webhook push on a competitor | Email alerts | Email alerts | Yes — real webhooks per watchlist |
| Self-serve, no sales call | No | Mostly | Yes — pay by invoice or crypto, key issued in 1 business day |
| Resell / embed in your product | No | No | Yes — resell tier with high quota |
| Sources beyond contracts (proposal pipeline, GWAC task orders, FOIA, people) | Yes — deep | Yes | No — we are contracts/IDV award data only |
| Deep historical archive (years) | Yes | Yes | Forward-compounding — our change-history starts the day you do |
Where they win, we say so. If you need a full capture lifecycle (pipeline, proposal mgmt, teaming, BD CRM), buy GovWin/HigherGov. If you need a fresh, queryable, agent-callable recompete + award-delta signal without a five-figure seat license, that's us.
Accuracy & freshness — stated plainly
Source
100% public USAspending.gov award data (the authoritative federal spend record). Every row links back to its source award page. We add nothing we can't cite.
Freshness
Daily snapshot + diff. Expiring/recompete data reflects the period-of-performance end-date on file. Verified date shown on every page.
Change-history depth
Forward-only today. We started snapshotting recently, so the diff history is shallow now and deepens daily. We never claim a deep archive — that's GovWin's game, not ours.
Recompete prediction
Incumbent-vulnerability is a transparent base-rate model (incumbents win ~62% of recompetes; we adjust for competition type, set-aside, recent challenger velocity). It's a triage signal, not a guarantee. Full methodology on the prediction engine.
