## The answer, as recorded

> Assuming you mean a freelance **grant writer/consultant** juggling applications and deadlines across multiple nonprofit clients, here's how I'd rank it:

> **1. Instrumentl** - the default pick if your book of business justifies it. It's the highest-rated grants platform on G2, combines funder prospecting (400k+ funders, 990-derived data) with application tracking and reporting, and it has a dedicated consultant account configuration that lets you keep client workspaces separate under one login. The catch is price: published tiers run $299/mo (Discover, annual) to $999/mo (Full Lifecycle, annual), with month-to-month meaningfully higher. 14-day free trial. Worth it if you're billing several clients; overkill for two.

> 
> **2. Grantseeker.io** - the best value, and my recommendation for most solo freelancers. Free tier with unlimited users and grants, Classic around $19.99/mo, and the Pro tier lets one user identity manage multiple client accounts - exactly the consultant shape. No per-seat pricing. It
