Scoutee, the alternative to Marchés Online that does not count départements

About Marchés Online

Marchés Online is the public tender portal of Infopro Digital, the publisher of Le Moniteur. It gathers French public notices and their European counterparts, about 250,000 a year by its own count, with award notices and a business directory. A free account, called Accès libre, allows five search profiles and five alerts. The paid plan, Veille Intégrale, starts at 45 euros excluding VAT a month for one to five départements, with ten euros for each additional département, and reaches 200 euros excluding VAT a month above twenty-one départements or for the whole of France. Subscribers to Le Moniteur start at 25 euros. Billing is monthly, without commitment.

Why companies move from Marchés Online to Scoutee

Reason 1: the invoice follows the map

At Marchés Online the price is a function of geography. Five départements are 45 euros excluding VAT a month, each one after that adds ten euros, and a company that wants the whole of France pays 200 euros excluding VAT a month. Widening the search area means changing the contract. Scoutee has no geographic line: more than 100 official sources in more than 30 countries of Europe and North America are in every plan, free included. A company that opens a branch in Lyon, then in Brussels, changes nothing and pays nothing more.

Reason 2: France alone costs more than Europe and North America

The national plan of Marchés Online is 200 euros excluding VAT a month for French notices. Scoutee's Pro plan is 49 euros a month, or 490 a year, and searches every official source it collects in more than 30 countries. Team is 149 euros a month for ten users, with the award history of who won what. Both prices are published, monthly and cancellable. The comparison is not a discount argument alone: the cheaper plan is also the one with the wider map.

Reason 3: no AI analysis and no API in the published plans

Marchés Online sells notices, alerts and archives; its published plans include neither an AI reading of the consultation file nor an API. On Scoutee the analysis is part of the plan: two a month on the free plan, a hundred on Pro, unlimited on Team. It fetches the documents from the buyer's platform and extracts the deadlines, the budget, the requirements and the exclusion criteria. Pro also opens the API and the MCP server, so a saved search can feed a CRM or an assistant.

Reason 4: keywords in 24 languages and a memory of the company

Marchés Online expects search profiles written in French, for French notices. Scoutee proposes keywords from the company profile and translates them into the 24 languages of its sources, so one saved search finds Belgian, Luxembourgish, Swiss and German notices as well. The company memory keeps references, certifications and past bids in the workspace, so the next answer starts from what the company has already written rather than from a blank page.

Where Marchés Online is strong

• A long record of publishing French notices, backed by the editorial team of Le Moniteur.
• Award notices and a one-year archive included from 45 euros excluding VAT a month.
• A free access tier with five profiles and five alerts, enough for a small, local search.
• A business directory next to the notices, useful for finding partners and subcontractors.

FAQ

Does Marchés Online cover tenders outside France?

It announces national and European supports, but its plans are sold by French département and its national plan covers France. Notices published only on the national portals of other countries, under the EU thresholds, are not its subject. Scoutee collects more than 100 official sources in more than 30 countries of Europe and North America, in every plan.

How much does Marchés Online cost?

The free Accès libre gives five profiles and five alerts. Veille Intégrale is 45 euros excluding VAT a month for one to five départements, plus ten euros per extra département, and 200 euros excluding VAT a month above twenty-one départements or for the whole of France, read on 14 September 2026. Le Moniteur subscribers start at 25 euros.

Can I try Scoutee before paying?

Yes. The free plan never expires: search every source, save searches, receive one daily alert and run two tender analyses a month. Pro at 49 euros a month and Team at 149 euros a month are billed monthly and cancellable at any time.

Does Scoutee publish award notices too?

Yes. Award notices are collected with the calls for tender, and the Team plan adds the award history: who won which contract, and for how much when the buyer publishes it. On Free and Pro, award notices appear in search results like any other notice.

Is Scoutee's coverage really included in every plan?

Yes. Free, Pro and Team search the same index, more than 100 official sources in more than 30 countries, collected every night and deduplicated. No département, region or country is sold as an extension; plans differ by alerts, analyses, users and the award history.
