GrantHub Alternative: Get Discovery + Tracking + AI for the Same Price
GrantHub is a reliable grant tracking tool, but it only solves half the problem. You still need to spend hours manually searching for grants, then manually enter them into GrantHub to track. Expirely gives you discovery, AI-powered research, and tracking—all for the same price.
The Big Difference
GrantHub tracks grants you already found. Expirely helps you find + research + track + win grants—with AI assistance at every step. Same price, exponentially more value.
What GrantHub Is Missing
Foundation Database
GrantHub has zero grant discovery. You need to subscribe to Foundation Directory ($149+/month) or manually search online. Expirely includes 41,000+ foundations.
AI Matching
GrantHub requires manual research. Expirely's Smart Match AI analyzes 41,000+ foundations and recommends the best fits for your mission automatically.
AI Writing Assistant
GrantHub stores your drafts but doesn't help you write them. Expirely's AI assists with narrative drafting, tone adjustment, and content suggestions.

Why Nonprofits Switch from GrantHub
"We were spending 15 hours/week searching for grants"
"GrantHub helped us track, but we still had to manually search Foundation Directory and Grants.gov. With Expirely's AI matching, we discover relevant grants in minutes instead of hours."
— Sarah M., Education Nonprofit
"The AI writing assistant is a game-changer"
"We're a small team without a dedicated grant writer. Expirely's AI helps us draft stronger narratives and adjust our tone for different funders—something GrantHub can't do."
— Marcus T., Community Health Org
"We canceled Foundation Directory"
"Paying $149/month for Foundation Directory plus $75 for GrantHub was killing our budget. Expirely gives us both for $49/month—and it's actually easier to use."
— Jennifer K., Arts Nonprofit

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my team need retraining if we switch?
No. Expirely's tracking interface is just as intuitive as GrantHub's—if not more so. Your team can start tracking grants immediately, then explore AI features at their own pace.
What happens to my historical GrantHub data?
All your past applications, documents, notes, and contacts import directly via CSV. Nothing gets lost in the transition.
Can I try Expirely before canceling GrantHub?
Absolutely! Use both simultaneously during your 14-day Expirely trial. Most teams are confident within 3-5 days that they can cancel GrantHub.
Does Expirely work for small nonprofits?
Yes! Expirely was specifically designed for small to mid-sized nonprofits. Our $49 tier is perfect for organizations managing 5-15 grant applications per year.
What if I need help during migration?
Our support team helps with CSV imports, data mapping, and onboarding. Most GrantHub migrations are complete within 24 hours.
The Bottom Line
GrantHub is a fine tracking tool, but tracking is only 25% of the grant workflow. Expirely handles the other 75%—discovery, research, and writing—without raising your monthly cost.
Same price. Four times the value. That's why it's the #1 GrantHub alternative.
