> ## The short answer
> 
> "Grant management software" is built and priced for nonprofits and funders, so at freelancer scale most of the category is overkill. Two different situations hide in your question, so here's both.
> 
> ### If you're a freelance grant writer serving nonprofit clients
> 
> **1. GEMS (Grant Easy Management Software)** - my first pick. It's the one tool in the category actually built by grant writers for grant consultants: multiple clients, funders, and deadline sets in a single account rather than one subscription per client. Free tier to test, then $89/mo (Pro), $114 (Premium), $149 (Enterprise). Small vendor, modest review volume, but a 4.6/5 rating and the right shape for your business.

> **2. Grantable** - best value if your bottleneck is *writing*, not tracking. Its content library ingests past proposals and drafts from that material, which is exactly the leverage a solo writer needs. $24/mo Starter for one user is the cheapest serious tool here; $89 Pro; $199 Agency gives you te
