Why Migrate from GrantHub?
GrantHub was solid for basic tracking, but it lacked the modern features nonprofits need today:
| Feature | GrantHub | Expirely |
|---|---|---|
| Application Tracking | ||
| Foundation Database | None | 41,000+ |
| AI Writing Assistant | None | |
| Smart Match AI | None | |
| SMS Deadline Alerts | None | |
| Monthly Price | $49-$99 | $49-$99 |
At the same price point, Expirely gives you exponentially more value. Let's get you migrated.
