Question 1

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees. You can cancel from your dashboard in a few clicks, and you keep full access until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Question 2

How does the free plan work?

Accepted Answer

The free plan is free forever and needs no card. You can view 25 tender listings and open 2 full tenders per day, with the province and category you follow shown first rather than filtered out, and results delayed by 48 hours, plus a daily email of the newest tenders as they reach you. It is designed to let you judge the quality of the tenders before you pay a cent.

Question 3

What does the AI tender analysis do, and who gets it?

Accepted Answer

It reads the tender documents we can open and gives you two things: a plain-language summary of what the department is asking for, and a checklist of the documents, certificates and forms that tender says you must submit, with the wording quoted so you can check it. Both download as one printable pack. Every plan includes it: 1 AI tender analysis a week on Free, 1 AI tender analysis a day on Starter and 5 AI tender analyses a day on Pro. It does not write your bid or set your price. It is a working aid, so always check the official tender documents before you submit.

Question 4

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

All payments are processed securely by PayFast, South Africa's leading payment gateway. You can pay by Visa or Mastercard, or by Instant EFT with all major South African banks. Everything is billed in rand (ZAR), and we never see or store your card details.

Question 5

Can I switch between plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately, so you get your extra alerts and saved searches straight away; downgrades apply from your next billing date.

Question 6

Do you offer annual billing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Starter costs R699 per year (about R58 per month) and Pro costs R1,099 per year (about R92 per month), a saving of up to 29% compared to paying monthly.

Question 7

Is there a contract or minimum term?

Accepted Answer

No. Every plan runs month-to-month (or year-to-year if you choose annual billing) with no lock-in, no minimum term and no hidden fees. If TenderFinder is not winning you work, you can walk away at any time.
