If your job is to find and track opportunities across federal, state and local, and grants in one place, GovTribe covers more ground than we do. Its catalog is published on a single page starting at $1,500 a year, its index spans three funding streams we do not touch, and its 4M+ contact records answer a question GovExpress does not attempt: who inside an agency or a prime you should be talking to. GovExpress is a narrower instrument on purpose. We score how ready a company is to sell to the federal government, we score compliance posture — public FedRAMP, CMMC, and SOC 2 signals — as one of twelve categories, and we keep vendor search free and unmetered. If you need pipeline breadth, GovTribe is the better buy. If you need to judge whether a company can carry federal work, that is the instrument we built.

Marks describe what each vendor published at the cited source on the observation date. "Not offered" means no public signal there — not proof that a capability does not exist. Found something out of date? Tell us and we will correct it.
GovTribe covers all three in a single search. GovExpress is federal-only — deliberately, and for the foreseeable future. If your pipeline crosses into SLED or grant funding, we do not cover the ground GovTribe covers.
4M+ contact records sourced through GovExec and Clearbit. We publish no contact database at all. If the question is who to call inside an agency or a prime, GovTribe answers it and we do not.
Launch at $1,500 a year, Launch Plus at $1,900, Growth at $5,000 a year for five users, Growth Plus at $6,000, and a custom Scale tier with 25,000-record exports. Bulk export is a real product there; we have none.
GovTribe exposes an MCP server, so an agent can query its data directly. GovExpress publishes no API and no MCP endpoint.
GovExpress scores Compliance Posture as one of its twelve categories, from publicly observable FedRAMP, CMMC, and SOC 2 signals, with verified status and self-reported claims kept visibly distinct. GovTribe's index carries none of that layer.
A 100-point score across 12 categories on any federal vendor — the company, not the deal. GovTribe tells you what is being bought. GovExpress tells you whether a company is built to sell it.
Our categories, our dollar-counting rules, and the limits of the score are public, down to how we annualize contract magnitude. You can argue with our math because we show it.
Vendor search on GovExpress costs nothing, needs no login, and is not metered. GovTribe runs a 7-day trial with no free tier behind it.
Fourteen days of your own complete readiness report, PDF included, at no charge. GovTribe runs a 7-day trial with no free tier beneath it. Above the trial our Team plan is $499 a month or $4,990 a year — more than a GovTribe Launch seat, and published on the page just the same.
Check us the way this page checks everyone else: the published method, the price list, and free vendor search, no login.
Launch is $1,500 a year for one user with 50-record exports; Launch Plus is $1,900; Growth is $5,000 a year for five users with 3,000-record exports; Growth Plus is $6,000; Scale is custom with 25,000-record exports. There is a 7-day trial and no free tier. Observed on govtribe.com/pricing, 2026-09-06.
No. GovTribe's index covers contracts, grants, and contacts; it does not publish a compliance registry — FedRAMP, CMMC, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 — as data about the vendors in it. That layer is the reason GovExpress exists. Observed on govtribe.com, 2026-09-06.
No, and we would rather say so plainly. GovTribe is an opportunity and award tracking platform with state, local, grant, and contact coverage we do not match. GovExpress is a readiness and diligence instrument. The two answer different questions and a serious capture team may want both.
Yes, in both cases. GovExpress vendor search is free with no login and no metering. GovTribe publishes its full price list and offers a 7-day trial, so you can size a plan without a call — though there is no free tier once the trial ends.
Competitor pricing and capability pages change without notice. If a claim here has gone stale, tell us and we will re-observe it and update the date.
