Klarum vs MERX

Klarum is a web-based procurement tool for finding opportunities, managing tender documents, and tracking compliance. It gathers notices from national procurement portals, TED, and development banks; each notice links to its original publication, and claims cite their source page. The workspace has ten surfaces, including Notices, Workspaces, Knowledge, Automations, and Data Studio. SharePoint and Google Drive connectors and CSV and PDF exports are available. Free access includes one user, with monthly caps on matches, exports, and connectors; it does not include document generation or team features. Basic and higher plans can generate proposals and bid drafts from a firm's record. Basic costs 1,100 SEK/mo, and Business costs 2,000 SEK/mo. Business adds team seats and organization settings, with seats billed after an invitee accepts. Its three-day full trial does not require a payment method, and the account and data remain after it ends. Yearly billing is available with two months free.
