Scoutee, the alternative to Tendly that reaches beyond Europe

About Tendly

Tendly is an AI-native tender platform run from Tallinn and London, selling across Europe. It monitors the official procurement portals of 24 countries daily, from France and Germany to Estonia, Croatia and Romania, and layers AI matching, a research assistant, risk analysis and an AI bid writer on top. Buyer and competitor Insights, a pipeline board and a deadline calendar complete the product. Its prices are published and its plans are metered in credits: a free plan with 20 credits, Professional at 29 euros a month with 200, Enterprise at 149 euros with 400, and Strategist at 199 euros, which adds human bid experts working on a no-win-no-fee basis. Annual billing lowers each tier.

Why companies move from Tendly to Scoutee

Reason 1: 24 European countries, and nothing across the Atlantic

Tendly names the countries it watches, and the list is European: 24 of them, with no North American portals and no stated TED feed. A company bidding in Europe and in the United States or Canada runs two tools. Scoutee indexes more than 100 official sources in more than 30 countries of Europe and North America, collected every night and deduplicated, so the same notice republished on several portals is shown once. Every plan searches all of it, from the free one upwards.

Reason 2: analyses you can count, with a published unit price

Tendly's tiers are credit balances: 20, 200 or 400 a month, with no price published for a single AI action, so the cost of one more analysis is hard to predict. Scoutee counts analyses directly: two a month on the free plan, 100 on Pro at 49 euros, unlimited on Team at 149 euros, and ten extra analyses for ten euros. Reading an analysis a colleague already ran is free, so a bid team does not pay twice for the same file.

Reason 3: company memory and translated keywords

Tendly publishes document templates and an AI bid writer, but does not state that it keeps a reusable library of a company's references, or that it translates search terms. Scoutee's company memory holds the references, certifications and past bids the next answer starts from. AI Match proposes keywords from the company profile and translates them into the 24 languages of the sources, so one saved search finds the Polish, Portuguese and Finnish notices without writing a word in those languages.

Reason 4: award history, the API and MCP inside the plan

Tendly does not state an API or an MCP server. Scoutee includes both from Pro at 49 euros a month, and a public MCP server is open without an account, so an AI assistant can query the index before anyone signs up. Team, at 149 euros a month for ten users, adds the award history: who won which contract, which is what tells a company whether a buyer is worth chasing again.

Where Tendly is strong

• A free plan with 20 credits that does not expire, enough to judge the matching before paying.
• Professional at 29 euros a month is among the lowest published entry prices in Europe.
• The 24 countries come with every tier, with no geographic upgrade to buy.
• The Strategist tier puts human bid experts on the file, paid on a no-win-no-fee basis.

FAQ

Does Tendly cover tenders outside Europe?

No. Tendly lists 24 European countries and monitors their official portals daily. North American procurement is not part of that list, and the site does not state a TED feed. Scoutee covers more than 30 countries across Europe and North America, from more than 100 official sources, in every plan.

How much does Tendly cost?

Tendly publishes its prices: a free plan with 20 credits, Professional at 29 euros a month, Enterprise at 149 euros and Strategist at 199 euros, each cheaper billed annually. Professional is below Scoutee's Pro plan at 49 euros a month; what Scoutee adds for the difference is coverage, counted analyses, company memory, the API and MCP.

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 and Team are monthly and cancellable at any time.

Does Scoutee draft the bid the way Tendly's AI bid writer does?

No. Scoutee analyses the tender rather than writing the response: it retrieves the documents, extracts deadlines, budget, requirements and exclusion criteria, and keeps the company memory the writing then draws on. Tendly's bid writer and its human experts are a real advantage on the drafting side.

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. The plans differ by alerts, analyses, users and award history, never by geography.
