Grantivo vs Grantsville

Grantivo is a web editor for grant writers that links proposal drafts to funder requirements and tracks readiness. Users can add guidelines from a file, link, or pasted text, then work from a requirements view. Inline suggestions attach to relevant lines, are evaluated against the specific funder, and can be accepted in place. Each proposal receives a readiness score and checklist based on coverage of the funder's requirements. Funder profiles describe giving history, award sizes, financial position, and whether unsolicited proposals are accepted; directory search is free and requires no account. Writing, editing, section templates, directory access, and exports do not use credits. Reviews, assistant chat, and inline suggestions draw from a shared credit balance. Credits do not expire, and purchased credits do not renew automatically. The Free plan costs nothing with 10 credits. One-time paid plans are Starter at 29.00 USD, Standard at 79.00 USD, and Team at 179.00 USD, with 50, 150, and 400 credits respectively.

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.
