Questions, answered with numbers
Straight answers on cost, data, AI, and security. Anything missing? Ask us.

Cost
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Pay as you go costs nothing, needs no card, and lets you browse and run keyword searches across everything in the corpus. You can see whether there is anything worth having in your field before the question of budget comes up.
What does it cost if I do pay?
Paid plans start at $99 a month for Access, which includes 150 credits. You can also buy credits without a plan at $0.50 each. Annual billing is cheaper.Full pricing
What is a credit?
The unit Quillify prices its work in. Reading, filtering, browsing, and organizing your documents cost nothing. Credits pay for the work Quillify does for you: checking whether you qualify, drafting, revising, evaluating.
What does a proposal cost in credits?
It scales with the work. A federal solicitation runs to hundreds of pages, so a federal proposal costs more than a foundation proposal of a few pages. Revisions cost less because they only re-read the sections you asked to change.Estimate your month
What does asking Lil’ Q cost?
Lil’ Q is metered on the work each answer takes. Part-credits accrue rather than rounding up, so short questions cost very little. Standard answers most questions. The deeper Advanced model is there for harder ones, and you choose which answers you.
Do unused credits expire?
Pay-as-you-go credits never expire. Plan credits roll over month to month and stay good for twelve months from the month you receive them. Grant work comes in waves, and a quiet quarter should build capacity for a busy one rather than disappear.
Can I cancel?
Yes, and pay-as-you-go exists precisely so you do not have to hold a subscription through a quiet period to keep access to what you already bought.
What is in it
Is Quillify only for organizations in Tulsa or Oklahoma?
No. Quillify is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and works for organizations across the United States and Canada. It also lists grants open to organizations in Ukraine and World Bank contracts open to bidders in dozens of countries. Everything runs in your browser.
What is in the database?
Open grants: 4,900+, federal, state, and private. Government contracts: 11,000+ currently open from SAM.gov nationwide plus the procurement portals of thirty-four states we ingest directly, 96,000+ tracked in total. Foundations: 129,000+ on file, of which 20,000+ explicitly accept applications. Community lenders: 480+. And 2,000,000+ organizations from the IRS registry, for finding who funds peers like you.
How current is it?
Listings stay current, and expired ones are flagged so they never waste your afternoon. Foundation data comes from IRS filings and currently covers tax years 2023 through 2025. Foundations file annually, so every foundation figure describes a filing year.
Do you cover state and local funding?
Yes, at every level. Quillify collects state, local, and foundation grants from the sources directly. It also covers federal grants, SAM.gov contracts, and the procurement portals of thirty-four states. Missing something?

The AI questions
Will a funder know it was written with AI?
They might, and some funders have published policy on it while others have reviewers with opinions their agency has not published. In practice our drafts generally clear AI detectors, and where a passage will not, we mark it so you can put it in your own words before it goes anywhere. For funders who ask you to declare AI use, we give you the disclosure wording rather than leaving you to invent it. It matters enough that we host the definitive page on it, built from what funders have actually published.What funders actually say
Does it make things up?
Quillify drafts from the documents you supply, so the substance is yours. Lil’ Q links every answer to the records it drew from. Any specific figure is one click from its source.
Can it handle a 200-page federal solicitation?
Yes. Quillify reads the announcement and everything you attach through research, compliance checking, and review. Selecting the few documents that describe your work keeps the cost down and makes the proposal stronger.
Who owns the proposal it writes?
You do. You own the output Quillify generates for you, and we do not claim ownership of any of your material, uploaded or generated. Use it for any lawful purpose, including submitting it to funders. Two things worth knowing: AI output may not attract copyright protection in every jurisdiction, and similar inputs could produce similar output for someone else.The clause that says so, in the terms
Do you train models on our documents?
No. Your content is not used to train foundation models. We use aggregate statistics about how the product is used to run and improve it. The documents you select are processed by the model providers that power drafting and analysis, which is how the work gets done, and the privacy policy describes those processors.Where your documents go, in full
Does it submit the application for me?
You press submit. Quillify gets everything ready. Federal and state portals want a human with credentials, so your credentials stay yours.
Security and access
Who can see my documents?
You, administrators of the organization that owns the file, and anyone you explicitly share it with. Our servers check access every time a file is opened, and no document is reachable by a public link.The full account, including the limits
How do you handle security and compliance reviews?
Send us the questionnaire and we will work through it in detail. Your documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, isolated to your organization, and protected by access controls enforced on our servers. The security page has the overview.
If I joined through a sponsor, what can they see?
Who their members are and how they are progressing. They cannot open your documents or your proposals. You can choose to share a specific file with them, and that share is yours to revoke.
Where is my data stored?
In the United States, on managed enterprise cloud infrastructure. Payment is handled entirely by a PCI-compliant processor, so we never see or store card numbers.
Whether it fits
What is Quillify?
Grant writing software that works like a grant team. It finds the grants, government contracts, and community lenders you are eligible for, then drafts the proposal from documents you already have. Lil’ Q, the assistant, tracks what you are pursuing, what is due, and what each funder wants, and writes against all of it. Longer answer on the what is Quillify page.What Quillify is, in full
I am a grant writer with several clients. Does that work?
Yes, on Pro and above. Each client is its own organization under your account: its own document room, drafts built from that client’s material, a usage tally per client, and a hand-over to the client’s own account when the engagement ends. You switch between them in one login.The version of this page for consultants
Do you do post-award reporting?
The dates, yes. The money, no. Hand over an award letter and Quillify reads out the reporting schedule, the closeout window, how long records have to be kept, and the changes that need the funder’s approval first, then puts them on your calendar with the sentence from the letter each one came from. Drawdowns, reimbursement requests, and spend against budget are not ours and stay wherever you already handle them.
Is there an API, or a white-label version?
That is an enterprise conversation rather than a checkbox. Write to sales@quillify.ai with what you would build or run on it, and we will take it from there.
I run a cohort or a portfolio of organizations.
Book a call. Cohorts differ by an order of magnitude in size, so a conversation gets you a real number faster than any pricing table could.What the portfolio view does
The fastest answer is to look.
Browsing and keyword search are free, and there is no card required.
