Scoutee, the alternative to TenderApp without a twelve-month commitment

About TenderApp

TenderApp is a Dutch tender-monitoring platform for companies selling to the public sector in the Netherlands. It aggregates more than fifteen sources, including TenderNed, enriches them with its own data team and adds an AI chat over the tender documents. Its customers are Dutch bid teams in care, ICT, mobility and construction. Four tiers are published: Start at 148 euros a month with two users and fifty AI credits, Grow at 498 euros, Scale at 848 euros, and Enterprise from 4,000 euros a month. Subscriptions run for twelve months with three months' notice, and onboarding is charged separately, from 495 to 1,995 euros depending on tier and format. Extra users are 49 euros a month.

Why companies move from TenderApp to Scoutee

Reason 1: the Netherlands, and the rest behind the top tier

TenderApp's base is Dutch: more than fifteen sources, TenderNed among them. The wider set, the 3,000-plus sources of TenderApp Horizon, arrives with the Scale tier at 848 euros a month. A Dutch company that wants to see Flemish, German or Nordic notices has to reach that level to do it. Scoutee indexes more than 100 official sources in more than 30 countries of Europe and North America, collected every night and deduplicated. Every plan searches all of them, from the free one upwards.

Reason 2: no twelve-month term, no onboarding invoice

A TenderApp subscription runs twelve months and then needs three months' notice, and onboarding is a separate line: 495 or 995 euros on Grow, 995 or 1,995 euros on Scale. Before the first notice arrives, the first year is committed. Scoutee bills monthly and stops when you stop: Pro at 49 euros a month, Team at 149 euros, or ten months' worth for a year paid up front. There is no setup fee, and the free plan lets a team check the coverage first.

Reason 3: the API and the MCP server from 49 euros

On TenderApp, the API and CRM integration sit on the Scale tier at 848 euros a month. Historical data is limited to thirty days on Start, and buyer insights start on Grow. Scoutee includes the API and an MCP server from Pro at 49 euros a month, along with buyer profiles and company memory. A public MCP server is open without an account, so an AI assistant can query the index before anyone signs anything.

Reason 4: analyses counted, and keywords in 24 languages

TenderApp meters its AI in credits: fifty a month on Start, 150 on Grow, 300 on Scale, with no unit price published. Scoutee counts analyses: two a month free, 100 on Pro, unlimited on Team, and ten more for ten euros. Each analysis retrieves the documents from the buyer's platform and extracts deadlines, budget, requirements and exclusion criteria. Keywords built from the company profile are translated into the 24 languages of the sources, so one search crosses the border.

Where TenderApp is strong

• Dutch sources enriched by a data team rather than passed through raw, which Dutch bid teams notice.
• Tender history since 2017 and a contract-expiry timeline on the Scale tier, useful for planning ahead.
• Buyer insights on Grow and above, built on the Dutch market it knows best.
• Structured onboarding, on site if wanted, for teams that want the tool installed rather than explained.
