What you’re missing with HigherGov.
What HigherGov does well. HigherGov is affordable and self-serve, strong on federal awards and opportunities, and quick to learn.
One seat, then ten, then a quote
HigherGov Starter is $500 a year for one user. Standard is $2,500 a year for up to ten, and more than ten means Enterprise, priced by quote. Every Capveon plan has unlimited seats.23
A year, paid up front
HigherGov lists annual prices and no monthly plan, so testing it for a quarter still means paying for the year.3
Forecasts are federal
HigherGov's plans list federal opportunities and forecasts, and state and local opportunities. For cities, counties and districts, the early sign is in a council vote or a budget line, and that's what Capveon reads.1
What Capveon does differently.
The work HigherGov leaves to your team, done for you, on the screens you’d use.
Every RFP checked against your list.
Choose the columns that decide a bid for you: scope fit, security requirements, insurance, set-asides, due date. Capveon reads every RFP and its attachments and fills them in, with the page behind each answer.
Hear about it before the RFP.
A city council approves a budget line for permitting software. A transit board votes to pilot a new fare system. Signals shows you the agency, the line and the date, while there's still time to talk to the buyer.
Fill in what's new.
Each RFP you go after becomes a checklist. Capveon fills in every item it can from your templates and past responses. You answer what's new, and the next RFP already has it.
