Opportunity database & market intel

SAM.gov Hunter vs EZGovOpps

SAM.gov Hunter is a lower-cost, AI-native alternative to EZGovOpps. EZGovOpps is a mid-tier federal and state opportunity database with market-intel tools, priced by seat from about $2,695 to $6,000 per year. SAM.gov Hunter covers federal opportunities plus state and local opportunities across all 50 states + DC, adds fit-scoring against your profile, AI solicitation analysis, and a full AI proposal writer, and starts free.

EZGovOpps gives contractors a searchable opportunity database, targeted-agency tracking, and a "file cabinet" for managing pursuits — solid fundamentals at a mid-market price.

SAM.gov Hunter delivers the same discovery foundation but adds an AI layer EZGovOpps lacks — one-click AI solicitation analysis and AI proposal generation — plus fit-scoring against your profile, a free tier, and a lower paid entry point.
