Understand how to compare current Tenders-SA access without relying on duplicated plan details
Overview
Tenders-SA combines public discovery pages, free tools, account workflows, subscriptions and eligible one-time access. The Pricing page is the current source of truth for plan names, prices, allowances, included capabilities, add-ons and checkout details.
Compare Current Access
Use the Pricing page to compare the current Free, Starter, Professional and Enterprise options. Read each capability in context: tender discovery, Tender Radar and matching, Application Assistance, document analysis, intelligence tools, integrations and usage allowances can have different access rules.
One source of truth: This guide deliberately does not repeat prices, quotas or entitlement tables. Confirm current access on the Pricing page before purchasing or changing a plan.
Application Allowances
Application allowances and eligible one-time options can change. Check the Pricing page and the access message shown when you start an application. Viewing a public feature page does not itself grant or consume application access.
Choosing a Plan
Start by identifying the work you need to complete, then compare that capability on the Pricing page. Consider how often you prepare applications, whether you need ongoing Radar or alerts, the depth of document and procurement intelligence required, and whether API or AI-agent integrations are part of your workflow.
Changing or Cancelling
Open the Subscription & Billing page to change or cancel an active recurring plan. Cancelling stops future charges immediately, but your paid access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for. You must type the confirmation phrase shown in the dialog (for example,
cancel-starter), and the action cannot be undone. No refund is issued for the remaining period. One-off and prepaid plans are paid in full and cannot be cancelled from this page; contact support if you need to end access early. If the page says you have no active paid subscription, there is nothing to cancel and any past invoices remain available.Invoices and Receipts
Every past invoice in Billing History has a View action that opens the invoice document. From there you can print it, download a PDF, or email it again to your account address. The PDF is generated and stored securely on the server the first time it is requested. When a subscription payment is confirmed, Tenders-SA also emails the paid invoice once automatically.
Related Paid Services
Professional services such as CSD, B-BBEE, CIDB, and company registration support are separate service workflows. Their pricing is shown on the Services page and can differ from subscription plan pricing.
