Granted AI vs Grantsville

Granted AI helps nonprofits, researchers, and small businesses find funding opportunities they may be eligible for and prepare applications. Its listings include 140,000+ live grant opportunities and 133,000+ foundation profiles, with AI recommendations matching an organization’s mission to foundations. Users can upload an RFP for requirement analysis and receive section-by-section draft writing based on their answers and funder criteria. Six AI reviewers assess a proposal independently, then provide a consensus-ranked list of weaknesses and suggested fixes. Compliance monitoring checks BMF, Pub78, Revocations, and OFAC screening. Granted does not submit applications: users download drafts as Word documents and submit them through the funder’s channel. The web service also offers a REST API and an MCP server for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other compatible assistants. The free registered API tier allows 10 AI searches and 100 requests per day. Paid plans include Basic at $29 a month and Professional at $89 a month. Granted says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on US-based servers, and not used to train AI models.

Grantsville is a paid web service for US nonprofits under $500K whose directors write grant applications. It reads an organization’s documents, beginning with its public Form 990, and links statements in drafts to source documents. The service prepares letters of inquiry, full proposals, and answers for funder portals, shaping portal responses to field limits. It flags numbers and claims for review before submission. Users can provide selected writing so drafts follow that voice, although Grantsville says generated text may be wrong or sound off. First-time grant writers can use it without a prior award. Grantsville describes itself as self-serve; a consultant may better fit complex strategy or funder relationships. It says drafting searches only the organization’s documents and does not use them for another organization. One first application is free with no credit card. A letter of inquiry costs $99, and a full application costs $299.
