Pricing FAQ
How much does BidWriter cost?
BidWriter has a permanent free plan (3 AI credits/month, 1 user). Paid plans are Starter £49/month (30 credits, 1 user), Professional £149/month (150 credits, 5 users), Business £349/month (400 credits, 10 users), and Enterprise £999/month (unlimited credits and users). Annual billing saves 20%.
Is BidWriter genuinely free to start?
Yes. The Free plan requires only an email and password — no card details, no time limit, no trial-to-paid conversion. It includes 3 AI drafts per month, the full bid library, pipeline tracking, and tender discovery via WinAContract.
What is included in every BidWriter plan?
Every plan (including Free) includes: AI bid drafting, bid library, pipeline tracking, bid/no-bid scoring, response evaluator, framework and DPS tracking, BD calendar, and integrated tender discovery. Higher tiers add more AI credits and more users — not new feature categories.
How are AI credits used?
One AI credit covers one AI-generated draft of a tender question or response section. A typical small bid uses 5–10 credits end-to-end; a larger 20-question MEAT-evaluated bid uses 15–25. Credits reset every month and don't roll over.
Can I add more team members to a paid plan?
Yes. Every paid plan from Starter upwards supports additional seats at £18/user/month with no minimum. Add or remove seats at any time from the team settings.
Is there an annual discount?
Yes — annual billing saves 20% across all paid plans. Starter at £490/year (vs £588 monthly), Professional at £1,430/year, Business at £3,350/year.
What happens if I exceed my AI credit limit?
You can keep working manually using your bid library, pipeline, and evaluator — only AI drafting pauses. Credits reset at the start of the next billing month, or you can upgrade to a higher tier at any time without losing data.
Can I cancel my BidWriter subscription?
Yes — there's no minimum term and no cancellation fee. Downgrade to Free at any time from your billing settings. Your bid library and historical bids stay accessible.
Is BidWriter suitable for sole traders and SMEs?
Yes — BidWriter is built for UK SMEs and sole traders bidding for public sector contracts. The Free plan covers 1–2 small bids per month; Starter at £49/month handles ~6 tenders/month. Both are far cheaper than the £3,000–£8,000 cost of a bid consultant per engagement.
Does the price include tender discovery?
Yes. Every BidWriter plan includes integrated tender discovery from WinAContract — aggregating opportunities across Find a Tender Service, Contracts Finder, and local authority feeds. Standalone tender alert subscriptions typically cost £200–£500/month on top of bid writing software; BidWriter bundles both.
