GrantCue sells one of the products compared here, so every competitor figure below is tied to a public page and the date it was read.
Grantsights pricing is pay per product. Searching for grants costs nothing, and every product for sale is a one-time payment through Stripe that does not renew, from $29 for a funder list or the full match plan to $99 for every funder list for 12 months (Grantsights pricing page, read October 23, 2026).
Any Grantsights price quoted as a monthly subscription is out of date. The pricing page lists its Pro, team, consultant and grant office plans, and its federal health pursuit room, as "Not open for new customers right now" (Grantsights pricing page, read October 23, 2026).

Grantsights Pricing: Every Product on Sale
Grantsights lists five products at fixed prices, one of them at two prices, and each one is bought once, from the page that offers it, without an account. Custom data exports are quoted separately. The full list is on the Grantsights pricing page (read October 23, 2026).

Two details change how these prices compare with anything else. The first is that "Nothing renews": the terms of service say every product is a one-time payment, and the every-cause option "opens every cause for 12 months from payment, and then ends" (Grantsights terms of service, updated October 16, 2026). The second is how narrow the reports are. Intelligence Reports exist for two programs today, the RESTORE Act Direct Component construction and property program and NASA's ROSES 2025 C.2 Solar System Science, and "no other program has a report to buy" (Grantsights pricing page, read October 23, 2026).
What Grantsights Gives Away Free
The free tier covers search and a first look at each paid product. The eligibility checker, grant search and the guides need no sign-up, the weekly deadline email is free, and saved grants are kept in your browser rather than in an account (Grantsights homepage and pricing page, read October 23, 2026). The homepage counted 7,573 grant programs open on October 23, 2026, out of 27,266 programs in its catalog.
Each paid product has a free preview. A funder list shows your state's count and one foundation in full. The eligibility check shows your top matches before you buy the $29 plan. The free application check marks each of the funder's review criteria as covered, thin or missing, and explains the one fix that matters most (Grantsights funder lists and grant review pages, read October 23, 2026). Grantsights also publishes free CSV datasets under a CC BY 4.0 license, foundation grants by cause and state among them (Grantsights data exports page, read October 23, 2026).
What the $29 Funder Lists Contain
Each funder list is a sorted extract of private foundations' Form 990-PF grant records for tax years 2019 to 2024. In the education list, 55,773 foundations reported 364,618 grants totaling $21.9 billion to schools, colleges, libraries and scholarship funds, sorted by the state where the money went (Grantsights education funder list, read October 23, 2026). For each foundation the full list gives its largest grants with recipient, city, stated purpose and filing year, a link to its filings, and a flag on foundations that gave to only one recipient.

The method has limits that Grantsights states itself. A grant counts as education when the recipient's name or the stated purpose contains words such as school, library, scholarship or tuition, so "a few grants land in more than one list, and some fit a cause without saying so", and filings "trail the giving by a year or two" (Grantsights education funder list, read October 23, 2026).
The records underneath are public. Any foundation's return can be read one at a time on ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, which carries full Form 990 documents in PDF and digital formats and includes private foundations that file the 990-PF (ProPublica, updated October 22, 2026), and the IRS publishes e-filed returns as Form 990 series downloads (IRS, read October 23, 2026). What the $29 buys is the sorting by cause and state. Our guide on how to read a 990-PF grant list covers doing that sorting yourself.
Refunds, Checkout and the Closed Subscription Plans
A funder list, the match plan or an Intelligence Report is refunded in full if it "doesn't help" and you email Grantsights within 30 days; the full application review has a 7-day window (Grantsights terms of service, updated October 16, 2026). Checkout runs through Stripe, the purchase opens right after payment and is emailed to you, and a purchase portal resends a lost link without an account (Grantsights pricing page, read October 23, 2026).
Earlier subscribers are on different terms. A Pro or team subscription bought before those plans closed "renews on the term you chose until you cancel", access continues through the end of the period paid for, and refunds for those subscriptions are at Grantsights' discretion for unused full billing periods (Grantsights terms of service, updated October 16, 2026). A new buyer cannot get those plans at any price.
Grantsights Pricing Compared With Subscription Databases
A one-time list and a research subscription buy different things, so set the prices side by side before you compare features.

Twelve months of Instrumentl Discover at the annual rate comes to $3,588 (Instrumentl pricing page, read October 23, 2026). For one list of local funders in one cause, $29 once costs less than a year of any of the three subscriptions. The subscriptions buy ongoing search and profiles, and Instrumentl adds pipeline tracking, while Grantsights' pricing page lists no tracker beyond the saved grants kept in your browser and the weekly deadline email. A team that researches funders every week and tracks a pipeline should compare a tracker, not a list. The wider price table is in our grant database pricing comparison, what Candid's tiers include is in the Candid Premium price guide, and the cheaper routes to Instrumentl's jobs are in free and cheaper Instrumentl alternatives.
GrantCue, the product we sell, takes the subscription route with a free tier. Its Free plan is $0 for one user tracking up to 10 grants with funder research included, and Essentials is $49 a month, or $39 a month billed annually, for up to 3 users (grantcue.com/pricing, October 2026). Its public foundation directory has 11,279 private foundation profiles built from 990-PF filings (grantcue.com, October 2026). A team that wants only a one-off list for one cause pays less at Grantsights.
FAQ
Is Grantsights Free?
Grant search, the eligibility checker and the guides are free and need no sign-up, and the weekly deadline email is free as well (Grantsights homepage and pricing page, read October 23, 2026). The paid products are one-time purchases from $29 to $99, and each has a free preview first: a state count and one foundation for a funder list, your top matches for the match plan, and a criteria check for the application review (Grantsights pricing page, read October 23, 2026).
Does Grantsights Have a Subscription?
No subscription is on sale. Grantsights says "There are no subscriptions on sale" and that its earlier Pro, team and pursuit room plans are closed to new customers (Grantsights page on how it makes money, read October 23, 2026). The $99 every-cause option is one payment that opens every funder list for 12 months and then ends (Grantsights terms of service, updated October 16, 2026).
How Much Is the Grantsights Full Match Plan?
The full match plan costs $29 once, bought from the results of the free eligibility check. It ranks up to 100 matching grants into apply now, review first, watch and skip, lists up to 25 programs you qualify for that open later, and for federal programs names the organizations in your state that won them, with amounts and dates from USAspending.gov (Grantsights pricing page, read October 23, 2026).
What Does the Grantsights Application Review Cost?
The first check is free, and the full review is $49 once with a 7-day refund window. The full review returns each weakness with the passage it concerns and what to change, plus a Word copy with comments when you upload a .docx. Grantsights says the tool "never writes any part of your application" (Grantsights grant review page, read October 23, 2026).
Where Does Grantsights Get Its Foundation Data?
Foundation data comes from private foundations' IRS Form 990-PF filings, read through ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer. Its data sources page warns that "Filings run one to two years behind, and a foundation's past grants don't mean it takes applications" (Grantsights data sources page, updated October 12, 2026). Federal opportunities come from Grants.gov, synced twice a day, and state portals are synced only for California, Ohio and Pennsylvania (same page).
Before You Buy a Grantsights List
Run the free preview for your own state first. It shows how many foundations in your cause gave there and one of them in full (Grantsights funder lists page, read October 23, 2026). Look that one foundation up on ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and read its latest filing. If the state count runs to hundreds of foundations, $29 for the sorted list costs less than the hours it takes to sort them yourself. If it runs to a handful, the free filings may be enough.
Whichever route you take, check each foundation before you write to it. The full list puts the foundations whose filings say they take requests first, but Grantsights notes that "Some that take requests still give mostly to groups they know" (Grantsights education funder list, read October 23, 2026). Our funder fit check lists the questions to answer before you apply.
