GrantTrove and Grantable, side by side
How GrantTrove and Grantable differ on price, coverage and what each one shows about a record. Every Grantable figure was checked on 2026-09-17.
What Grantable is genuinely good at
This section is not a formality. Grantable is a real product with real advantages, and a reader deciding between the two is better served by knowing them than by a page that pretends they do not exist.
- A large index is searchable without registering at all, which is unusual in this category and genuinely useful for a first look.
- The product’s centre of gravity is the writing itself, not just discovery — a different job from the one a database does.
Where GrantTrove is different
Where the two products actually diverge, point by point.
- Every record shows when it was last checked, against which source domain, and by which method.
- Programme pool and per-award ceiling are separate fields that are never shown under one label.
- Core fields — amounts, deadlines, eligibility, source link, verification stamp — are free without an account, permanently.
- A field the source did not state reads Not stated rather than being filled with a plausible value.
And the honest cost of that. Coverage is early. The data sources page publishes exactly which feeds are connected and which are not. Where Grantablepublishes more records than we hold, that is a real reason to open both — we index fewer opportunities and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What every record here carries is the date we last confirmed it, the source page it came from, and the programme pool and the per-award ceiling as two separate numbers. That is the axis we compete on.

“Not measured” means we have not audited that property of Grantable and will not guess at it. Every Grantable figure above comes from a page Grantable publishes about itself, checked 2026-09-17.
What this page does not claim
What this page does not claim, and how it was written.
We do not publish a record count of our own counting for another product, a freshness figure we have not sampled, or an accuracy rate for anyone. Doing so would require an audit with a stated method and a date, and we have not run one. Where a comparison would need such a number, the row above reads Not measured.
Choose Grantable if breadth of free search is the thing that matters today: 52,067 open grants and 191,848 funders, searchable without an account, on their own figures read 2026-09-17 — more opportunities than we index, at no cost. Choose GrantTrove when you need to act on a record rather than find it: every field traceable to one official page, carrying the date we last confirmed it, with the programme pool and the per-award ceiling shown as two separate numbers rather than one.
