CC Grant Tracker Pricing and What the Product Does

CC Grant Tracker pricing has an unusual answer. No price is published, and the product, now called Symplectic Grant Tracker, is being retired: Digital Science has set a planned sunset date of December 31, 2026 (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025).

It is also a funder's system, not an applicant's. The organizations that bought it pay out grants, and applicants meet it as the portal a funder asks them to apply through. Current clients need an exit plan and a replacement price; everyone else mostly needs to know the product is closing.

GrantCue sells grant tracking software for applicants and names its own plan near the end of this guide, so every other price here is tied to a public source and the date it was read.

Quick Answer: How Much Does CC Grant Tracker Cost?

CC Grant Tracker, now Symplectic Grant Tracker, has no published price, no free version and no trial (TrustRadius, read September 2026). It is not a current purchase either: Digital Science plans to sunset the product line on December 31, 2026 (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025). It is a system research funders buy, not a tracker for applicants.

What CC Grant Tracker Does

CC Grant Tracker is a grantmaker system: software a funder uses to run a grant program from the call for proposals to the evaluation of outcomes. Applicants, reviewers and committees work inside it, but the organization that buys it is the funder.

Digital Science, which CC Technology joined in late 2018, described the software as one that "manages the entire end-to-end lifecycle of a grant: From the launch of a call for proposals through technical and financial performance monitoring, to the monitoring and evaluation of outcomes, evaluation and impact" (Digital Science blog, January 22, 2019). That is the funder's half of the stages of the grant lifecycle, from opening a call to judging what the money achieved.

A directory listing for the renamed product says "Symplectic Grant Tracker (previously CC Grant Tracker) includes features to assist applicants, reviewers, committees and funders" (Capterra India directory listing, read September 2026). Each of those roles matters when you plan a replacement, because a new system has to give every one of them a place to work.

The client list shows the audience. Digital Science named "the Wellcome Trust, Caribbean Development Bank, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in the US" as customers (Digital Science blog, January 22, 2019). All three give money out. In 2023 Digital Science said the product "underpins the pre and post award processes for 50+ funding agencies who collectively award more than $2 billion annually" (Digital Science press release, September 11, 2023), a figure the vendor gives for its own product.

That makes CC Grant Tracker pricing a funder's question, answered in a contract, not on a price list. It also means the product was never a fit for a nonprofit that only applies for grants, despite the word Tracker in its name.

From CC Grant Tracker to Symplectic Grant Tracker

CC Grant Tracker and Symplectic Grant Tracker are one product under two names. CC Technology joined Digital Science in late 2018, and Symplectic and CC Technology were unified in 2021 (Digital Science blog, January 22, 2019; Symplectic blog, March 21, 2023). The product now carries the Symplectic name (Capterra India directory listing, read September 2026).

Digital Science's announcement put the first step this way: "Earlier today, we announced that CC Technology joined the Digital Science family in late 2018" (Digital Science blog, January 22, 2019). Symplectic dates "the unification of Symplectic and CC Technology in 2021" (Symplectic blog, March 21, 2023). The product was still winning clients two years after that, when Digital Science announced that ETH Zurich had chosen it (Digital Science press release, September 11, 2023).

The old product page no longer describes it. On a September 2026 check, the former Grant Tracker address on Symplectic's website returned the home page, which promotes Symplectic Elements and not Grant Tracker (Symplectic website, read September 2026). Contracts, support tickets and staff notes may use either name, so search your files for both when you gather the paperwork for an exit.

CC Grant Tracker Pricing: What Is Published

CC Grant Tracker has no published price under either of its names (TrustRadius, read September 2026). What a client pays is set by its own contract, and for every client the figure that matters now is the sunset date.

TrustRadius states that "CC Grant Tracker does not currently have any pricing plans listed at this time" and that "No free version or trial is available for CC Grant Tracker" (TrustRadius, read September 2026). For a would-be buyer the answer is shorter still. Digital Science is discontinuing the product line (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025), so there is no new purchase to price.

Software directories can mislead at this point. CrowdReviews keeps a CC Grant Tracker page and lists Grants Network among its alternatives (CrowdReviews, read September 2026). Grants Network is eCivis's grants software, documented by public agencies such as Indiana's state budget agency, which publishes a user guide for grantee reports in it (Indiana State Budget Agency user guide, read September 2026). A directory's list of alternatives can mix products built for different buyers, so check who each product is built for before you price it.

For a current client, the useful pricing work is on the replacement. Get your current contract out and note what it covers: the modules, the number of programs and users, hosting, support and any data export terms. Those lines become the specification you send to replacement vendors, and they let you compare a new quote against what you pay today.

The December 31, 2026 Sunset: What Grant Tracker Clients Should Do

Digital Science plans to sunset Symplectic Grant Tracker on December 31, 2026, and one client states there will be no access to data or functionality after that date (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025; HRB tender notice, December 19, 2025). Every client needs its data out and a new system running before then.

The announcement reads: "Digital Science has made the decision to discontinue the Symplectic Grant Tracker product line, with a planned sunset date of 31 December 2026" (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025). Symplectic adds that "All Grant Tracker clients have been contacted directly and provided with formal notice, including information about their individual timelines and transition support" (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025).

Two clients have said publicly what the sunset means for them. Ireland's Health Research Board, a Grant Tracker user since 2013, states that the system "is being discontinued by the provider, with a sunset date of 31 December 2026, without further access to data or functionality beyond that date" (HRB tender notice, December 19, 2025). Alzheimer's Society wrote that "Our current grants management platform, Grant Tracker, is due to be discontinued by Symplectic by December 2026," and said it would move to OmniStar from June 2026 (Alzheimer's Society, June 4, 2026).

Test the export before you rely on it. Open the files outside Grant Tracker, check that applications, reviews, award letters, payments and reports all came across, and keep a copy that does not depend on either the old vendor or the new one.

Replacement Systems for Research Funders and Their Published Prices

Funder-side systems with published prices include Good Grants, from $3,950 a year, Fluxx Grantmaker, from $13,000 a year plus a setup fee, and Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud for Grantmaking, at $285 per user per month billed annually (vendor pricing pages, read September 2026; Salesforce, read October 2026). SmartSimple, Submittable and Blackbaud publish no price on their own pages.

Sources: Good Grants, Fluxx demo page FAQ, Salesforce, Blackbaud, UK Digital Marketplace, SmartSimple, Submittable and Foundant pages, and the Hypha repository (read September 2026).

Price is the easy part of the comparison. The harder part is whether a system covers every role Grant Tracker served: applicants submitting, reviewers scoring, committees deciding and funder staff paying and monitoring. Ask each vendor to walk through one of your real calls end to end, and bring your scoring rubric; the guide to how reviewers score proposals shows the structure a review stage has to carry.

Ask about the costs a headline price leaves out. SmartSimple says its pricing has "a one-time implementation fee for the system build, and the ongoing recurring subscription fees for access to the system" (SmartSimple pricing page, read September 2026), so ask for both figures. Salesforce says its editions "require an annual contract," and lists its Premier Success Plan as "Included in all licenses" (Salesforce pricing page, read October 2026). Hypha, developed by the Open Technology Fund, is actively maintained, with a release on September 14, 2026 (Hypha documentation and repository, read September 2026), but you host and run it yourself.

For Applicants: When a Funder's Grant Tracker Portal Moves

If you apply to a research funder that used Grant Tracker, the portal you know is being replaced, and the funder decides where you go next. Alzheimer's Society, for one, announced a move from Grant Tracker to OmniStar starting in June 2026 (Alzheimer's Society, June 4, 2026).

You do not choose or pay for a funder's portal, but the move still creates work on your side. A funder that loses access to its own data after the sunset date cannot send you copies of your submissions later.

Before the old portal closes, download what you submitted: applications, budgets, award letters, progress reports and any reviewer feedback the funder released to you. Note your application and award reference numbers, since a new system may issue new ones. Then read the funder's migration notice for the dates that apply to open awards, because a report due during the switch may go to a different place than the last one.

Researchers with awards from several funders should list which of them used Grant Tracker and check each one's notice. The funders are the clients, so Symplectic's formal notice went to them (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025), and the dates that bind you are in each funder's own notice.

Tracking Your Own Proposals Instead

Some people who search for CC Grant Tracker want something else: a spreadsheet an applicant keeps to follow each proposal from idea to decision. That is a different thing from CC Grant Tracker, and a free spreadsheet is the right starting point for it.

Keep one row per application, with the funder, program, amount requested, internal and funder deadlines, status, decision date and owner. The free grant tracking spreadsheet template is one ready-made starting point.

A spreadsheet stops coping at predictable points: when several people edit it, when a reminder has to reach someone who has not opened the file, and when you need to know who changed a date. That is the point to look at software; the same template guide sets out the two limits that justify moving off a spreadsheet, and our guide to grant management software for nonprofits covers the features and prices to compare.

GrantCue is built for applicants, the people who submit through systems like Grant Tracker, not for the funders who run them. A research team tracking its own proposals can start on the Free plan, which covers 1 user, 10 tracked grants, a calendar feed for deadlines and CSV and Excel import to bring in an existing spreadsheet, then move to Essentials, listed at $49 a month for up to 3 users, when more people need access (grantcue.com, October 2026). Research teams can start from GrantCue for research institutions.

FAQ

Is CC Grant Tracker Being Discontinued?

Yes. "Digital Science has made the decision to discontinue the Symplectic Grant Tracker product line, with a planned sunset date of 31 December 2026" (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025). Symplectic Grant Tracker is the product's current name. Symplectic says every client was contacted directly with formal notice and its own timeline, so each client's notice sets its exact dates.

What Is Symplectic Grant Tracker?

It is the renamed CC Grant Tracker, a funder-side grant management system. A directory listing says "Symplectic Grant Tracker (previously CC Grant Tracker) includes features to assist applicants, reviewers, committees and funders" (Capterra India directory listing, read September 2026). Its maker, CC Technology, joined Digital Science in late 2018 and was unified with Symplectic in 2021 (Digital Science blog, January 22, 2019; Symplectic blog, March 21, 2023).

Who Uses CC Grant Tracker?

Funders. Digital Science named "the Wellcome Trust, Caribbean Development Bank, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in the US" as customers (Digital Science blog, January 22, 2019). In 2023 it said the product served "50+ funding agencies who collectively award more than $2 billion annually" (Digital Science press release, September 11, 2023). Those are the vendor's own figures.

Does CC Grant Tracker Have a Free Trial?

No. TrustRadius states that "No free version or trial is available for CC Grant Tracker" and that the product "does not currently have any pricing plans listed at this time" (TrustRadius, read September 2026). With the product line due to close on December 31, 2026, there is no new subscription to trial (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025).

What Happens to Grant Tracker Data After the Sunset?

One client, Ireland's Health Research Board, states that the system will close "without further access to data or functionality beyond that date" (HRB tender notice, December 19, 2025). Symplectic gave each client formal notice with its own timeline (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025), so export every record and attachment before your date, open the files outside Grant Tracker to check them, and keep a copy that depends on neither the old vendor nor the new one.

What Are Grant Tracker Clients Moving To?

Alzheimer's Society announced a move from Grant Tracker to OmniStar starting in June 2026 (Alzheimer's Society, June 4, 2026), and Ireland's Health Research Board published a tender notice that cites the sunset (HRB tender notice, December 19, 2025). Other clients received individual timelines and transition support from Symplectic (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025), and their choices are theirs to announce.

Export Everything Before December 31, 2026

Work backward from the timeline in your own notice from Symplectic, since each client received its own (Symplectic blog, July 14, 2025). Fix the internal export date first, then the date the replacement must be live, then the date applicants and grantees hear where to go next, and leave time between each step for testing and procurement.
