France (BOAMP)YesLimitedLimited
EU above-threshold (TED)YesYesYes
Construction projects (commercial)NoNoYes

Commentary: TenderWolf covers four countries in full (BE, NL, LU, FR) plus all EU countries above the European thresholds via TED. EBP is the only one to add commercial construction projects to its offering — relevant for construction companies that also search beyond public procurement. Govex focuses primarily on Belgium and the Netherlands.

Commentary: Govex emphasises human verification as a quality guarantee. TenderWolf relies on AI matching that learns from your approvals and rejections (TenderDNA). EBP combines AI with manual review. Which approach suits you better depends on your preference: do you want a personally curated offering or a self-learning tool you configure yourself?

Commentary: TenderWolf analyses specifications in a structured way: selection criteria, award criteria with weightings, required references, budget, and timeline are automatically extracted. A GO/NO GO workflow with three questions (May we? Can we? Do we want to?) then helps you decide on each tender. All three platforms now offer some form of AI chatbot on specifications.

How to compare for yourself

The fairest comparison is one you make by testing it yourself. Here’s how:

  1. Create a free TenderWolf account — takes 2 minutes, no credit card
  2. Set up the same search profiles as on your current platform
  3. Compare for two to four weeks which tenders each platform finds
  4. Test the analysis tools — use the AI Quickscan on a specification you know
  5. Review the competitor screening — see who has previously won with the same contracting authority
  6. Decide based on facts, not sales pitches

You only pay for a paid plan when you’re ready. Until then, the free plan works without limitations.

Frequently asked questions

Which tender software offers a free plan?

TenderWolf offers a permanently free plan (€0/month). You get 1 country of your choice, unlimited search profiles, daily alerts, and access to all tools via credits (3,000 starting credits + 750 per month). No credit card, no end date. Govex and EBP do not publish their prices on their websites; for their subscriptions you request a quote.

Which platform is a good alternative to Govex?

TenderWolf covers the same Belgian and European sources as Govex, but adds AI-driven specification analysis (Quickscan), competitor screening per dossier, and TenderForecast. Pricing is transparent and you can start for free without a sales call. Govex, in return, offers a more hands-on, human-monitored model — suited for companies that prefer a personal approach.

What is the difference between TenderWolf and EBP?

EBP combines public procurement with commercial construction projects and has over 30 years of sector experience, particularly in construction. TenderWolf focuses entirely on public procurement and adds AI-driven analysis: summarising specifications, identifying competitors per dossier, and anticipating expiring framework agreements via TenderForecast. TenderWolf publishes transparent pricing (starting at €0/month), while EBP works with pricing on request.

How do I compare tender software objectively?

Create an account on at least two platforms and set up the same search profiles. Compare for two to four weeks which tenders each platform finds, how quickly alerts arrive, and how useful the analysis tools are. Also consider coverage (which countries and levels), AI features (specification analysis, matching quality), pricing transparency, and whether you can get started without a mandatory sales call.
