Bid-hunting tools have been sold the same way for decades: expensive annual contracts, portals you'll never log into, and your own public data blurred until you pay. We built BidCatch to be the thing we wanted when we were the ones chasing bids.
Who won, from which agency, for how much — the full figures, not a teaser. Some platforms show you a competitor's win and blur the details until you subscribe. We think charging you to see your own public record is backwards, so our entire award catalog — 40,000+ federal awards and growing daily — is free with no account.
Award history is intelligence: who's winning in your trade, what agencies actually pay, when incumbents come up for renewal. Records don't get purged or rotated out to upsell you a deeper plan — we publish a generous window (awards of $250K+, active within the last five years) and say so on every profile page. Need older history? Ask, and we expand by request — not by tier.
Most bid tools stop at SAM.gov and call it coverage. But a paving crew in Plano doesn't bid federal work — they bid the city of Plano. BidCatch scans federal, state, county, city, school district, and port authority portals across all 50 states, because that's where local contractors actually win work.
You don't need another login. You need the three bids that matter, in your inbox, before your coffee. Every morning BidCatch filters the overnight scan down to the opportunities that match your trade and your states — title, agency, deadline, link. Thirty seconds and you're caught up.
Enterprise bid platforms charge thousands per year, billed annually, with a sales call before you see a price. BidCatch is $49.99 a month after a free 14-day trial, stated on the homepage. If you win one job because of a bid we caught, the year paid for itself many times over.
No annual lock-in. No "are you sure?" screens. No retention specialist. One email and you're done, and we'll thank you for trying it. We keep customers by catching bids, not by making it hard to leave.
When you sign up, a real person sets up your trade codes, states, and keywords — and confirms them with you. You're not handed a settings page and wished luck. And when something looks off, you email a person who can fix it.
Every bid and award comes from public government portals — nothing behind logins we weren't invited through, nothing scraped against a site's rules. Slower to build, but it means the data keeps flowing and you can click through to the official source on everything we send.
