Tendervane vs TenderApp
TenderApp sells alerts with a forecast tier. Tendervane is the forecast.
TenderApp is a solid horizontal tender platform for the Netherlands and Belgium. Tendervane does one narrower job: telling Dutch IT and software suppliers which public contracts come back to market in the next 6 to 18 months, and running the pursuit from that head start. Here is the honest comparison.

|---|---|---|
| Starting price | €149 per month, 1 user (new lineup) | €249 per month, whole company |

Pick TenderApp when
- You tender across several sectors, construction or care or facilities alongside IT, and need one tool for all of them.
- You want the widest possible alert net: 15+ sources including regional and below-threshold portals in NL and Belgium.
- Jurisprudence lookup inside the tender tool matters to your bid team.
Pick Tendervane when
- You sell IT or software to the Dutch public sector and your problem is hearing about tenders too late, not too few alerts.
- You want the 6 to 18 month renewal timeline on every plan instead of behind a quote-only top tier.
- You want to work the lead, not just see it: verdict, evidence, buyer contact from the notice, and a playbook that counts down to the expected tender.
- You want flat pricing your whole team can use. No seat packs, no onboarding invoice, cancel from settings.
The blunt version: TenderApp is broader, Tendervane is earlier and deeper on one vertical. If IT for the Dutch public sector is a side market for you, TenderApp is the safer generalist. If it is your main market, their forecast now sits in a quote-only tier behind a 12-month commitment, while Tendervane treats it as the entire product from €2,490 per year, cancel monthly.

Straight answers
Is Tendervane a full TenderApp replacement?
Not for everyone. If you bid across many sectors and rely on their 15+ aggregated sources, keep TenderApp. If your business is IT and software for Dutch public buyers, Tendervane covers that market with the two official sources that legally carry every Dutch tender, TED and TenderNed, and adds the renewal radar and pursuit workflow on top.
Both tools show expiring contracts. What is actually different?
The depth and the default. On TenderApp's new lineup, aflopende contracten insight belongs to the Scale tier, which launches 10 September 2026 at a price you have to request; on their legacy plans it sat in Professional at €699 per month. On Tendervane it is the product: every contract gets a scored return-window estimate with a confidence level, a dossier that separates notice facts from our inference, the buyer's procurement contact where the notice carries one, and a pipeline built for the months before publication.
Why is Tendervane cheaper?
Narrow scope by design. One vertical, one country to start, two official data sources, no sales team and no onboarding services. You buy it with a card and set it up yourself in minutes. That cost structure is the discount.
Where do the TenderApp numbers come from?
Their public pricing pages and their own comparison pages, checked on 14 July 2026 and linked below. TenderApp restructured its plans in 2026, so both the new lineup and the legacy prices are linked. If they change their pricing, the table is out of date until we re-verify, which is why the date is printed on it.
