Compare · updated 5 August 2026
Honest comparisons, including where we lose.
Every one of the 4below opens with what the other option genuinely does better. That is not modesty. A comparison page that only lists the other side's weaknesses gets read as marketing and believed by nobody, least of all a subcontractor who has been sold to this often.
Every one of them names the reader who should keep what they already have. If that is you, it is cheaper for both of us that you find it out here.
vs ChatGPT and other chat assistants
Better than this on a blank page, and cheaper. It cannot hold your rates, flag a claim you cannot evidence, or route a draft to an approver.
You're here if someone in the office is already pasting tender questions into a chat window.

vs Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini
Keep it. It searches everything you own and this does not. It has no certified rate, no flag and no record of who signed.
You're here if you already pay for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and wonder why you would pay twice.

vs hiring a freelance bid writer
They bring judgement, win themes and an outside read. This brings the first draft, the rate accuracy and everything between tenders.
You're here if you are weighing a per-submission fee against a subscription, or already use a writer.

vs simPRO, AroFlo, Procore and other job-management systems
They own the job, the schedule and the ledger. None of them writes the tender, the variation narrative or the extension-of-time notice.
You're here if you already run a job system and do not want a second one that wants your data.

The short version
All 4, in one glance.
| Compared with | What it does better than us | What this adds |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT and other chat assistants | It is better at anything genuinely open-ended | Certified rates, a flag on anything unevidenced, and a name against every document. |
| Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini | It is already there, and already paid for | A rate it will not contradict, and an approval trail when a claim is disputed. |
| hiring a freelance bid writer | Strategy and bid/no-bid judgement | The production half, so the writer is spent on fewer, bigger bids. |
| simPRO, AroFlo, Procore and other job-management systems | Everything to do with running the job | The words. No connector, so nothing leaves the system that owns the job. |
The left column is each comparison's own first entry for what the alternative does better, not a summary written for this table.
Still the fastest way to judge it.
Send us a tender you're looking at and we'll send back the questions in it your evidence doesn't answer. One page, free, and you send us nothing but a company name.
