BidPip versus the competition
How BidPip differs from typical nationwide bid services. Every service is different, so ask any provider for its own coverage and terms before you decide.
| BidPip | Typical nationwide bid services | |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | The six New England states, in depth: SAM.gov federal bids, the MA, CT, RI and VT state bid boards, and 276 city and town bid pages checked directly | Often nationwide; how many small town postings they catch varies |
| Price | Published: $29/month or $290/year for all six New England states | Often quoted through a sales call, priced per seat or per market, or tied to an annual contract |
| Contract | Month-to-month. Cancel anytime from the billing link in any email | Annual contracts are common |
| Trial and refunds | 14-day free trial, plus a full refund within 14 days of any charge. Free weekly email with no card | Varies, from no trial to a few weeks |
| Filters | 25 trade categories, optional keywords, and your area by state, county, town or miles from your shop | Usually keyword searches, often by whole state |
| See it first | Free browsing of every open bid, a sample email from real bids, and your top matches in the welcome email | Often behind a signup or a demo |
| Best fit | New England trade contractors who want the right local jobs in their inbox | Companies that bid across many states |
Why BidPip versus the competition
Built for small New England trade contractors, not for everyone everywhere.
Deep in New England, not spread thin

New Hampshire and Maine state boards are not included yet.Filters built for your trade
