Why is Civic AI better than GovWin IQ?

Two reasons that matter day to day. Search: you describe what your company does in plain English instead of maintaining boolean keyword strings. Price: if you already pay Deltek, Civic AI is free while you compare, and we refund your current month if you find a better product. GovWin still wins if what you actually buy is analyst-written market reports.

How do I verify your coverage claims?

We publish the map. Every state, every source, every sync date is on our public coverage page — 68 live sources across 9,514 agencies, regenerated from production. No competitor publishes theirs, so ours is the only one you can audit before you buy.

What does Civic AI cost?

If you currently pay for Deltek GovWin or Bloomberg Government, it is free while you evaluate. Otherwise see our pricing page. If you find a product that searches public contract data better than we do, we refund your current billing month.

What is Civic AI not the best choice for?

Analyst-written capture reports and multi-year pipeline forecasting (GovWin), legislative and policy terminal coverage (BGOV), and line-level historical purchase-order forensics (GovSpend). We aggregate and search public procurement data. If that is not the job, we will tell you.

What if you are missing an agency I sell to?

Tell us and we add it, usually within days for a public portal. We pay a $100 Amazon gift card when your request ships. No incumbent takes coverage requests from non-customers, let alone pays for them.

Why Civic AI

Government contract data is public. The tools built on it are not good.

The incumbents charge enterprise prices for a legacy interface on top of data anyone can download. We think the product should be the differentiator — so every claim on this page is checkable against our public coverage map before you pay us a cent.

Five reasons teams switch

Describe your business. Get contracts.

Every incumbent makes you think like their database — boolean strings, NAICS codes, saved-search maintenance. Civic AI takes a plain-English description of what your company does and matches against the full text of every solicitation. You stop maintaining keyword lists and stop missing work that was worded differently.

Coverage you can audit

68 live sources, published openly

All 51 states plus DC, 9,514 agencies, and 2,122 city and county buyers from 673 registered local portals. Every source carries its last sync date. No competitor publishes a coverage map, which means with them you find the gap after you have paid.

Freshness

Daily syncs, and we show you when one slips

Every source re-syncs at least daily. When one falls behind because a portal changed, the coverage map marks it as a transient issue instead of quietly serving you stale results. Being able to see our failures is the point.

Open by default

Missing something? We pay you to tell us.

Send us an agency or a bid portal we do not cover. A human reads it, and public sources are usually live within days. When your request ships we send a $100 Amazon gift card — no demo, no sales call, no account required.

Pricing posture

Free if you already pay GovWin or BGOV

Run both. Compare on your own pipeline. Keep whichever wins. And if you find a product that searches public contract data better than ours, we refund your current billing month — the incumbents sell annual seats and do not offer that.

Where the others genuinely win

A comparison page where the vendor wins every row is an advertisement. Here is what we are honestly not the right tool for — if one of these is your actual job, buy theirs.

Deltek GovWin IQ
Human analyst reports and multi-year pre-RFP forecasting. We index public data; we do not staff a research desk.
Bloomberg Government
Legislative and policy context alongside contracting. If your job is Washington policy, that terminal is the product.
GovSpend
Line-level purchase-order history — who bought what, from whom, at what unit price. Our lens is forward-looking.
Starbridge / Pursuit
Full SLED outbound stacks: contacts, CRM sync, sequencing. We are a search and discovery product, not a sales stack.
