Q&A · PLAIN ANSWERS, NO SALES CALL REQUIRED
Everything people ask us, answered straight.
Plans, credits, the AI, your data. If your question is not here, email info@govafy.com and a human answers.
CREDITS & PRICING
Yes. The Starter plan is free with no credit card required. You get 10,000 credits per month - enough to draft and review several proposal sections and get a real feel for the platform before committing to a paid plan.
A credit is the unit Govafy uses to measure AI usage. Drafting a section, analyzing a solicitation, generating a compliance matrix, or rewriting content consumes credits.
As a rough guide: a full RFP response (25-30 sections) typically uses 6,000-9,000 credits depending on length and complexity. On the Business plan (160,000 credits per month), that is roughly 15-20 complete proposals per month.
Your work is never lost. If you exhaust your monthly credits, generation features pause but all your existing content, uploads, and drafts remain fully accessible. You can purchase a credit bundle top-up at any time to continue without waiting for the next billing cycle.
Yes. When your subscription renews each month, your new credits are added on top of your existing balance - unused credits never disappear. Standard monthly credits and purchased credit bundles do not expire.
PLATFORM & AI
Govafy is not a general-purpose chatbot pointed at your RFP. Our AI agents are built on proven proposal-writing methodology - they structure content around what evaluators actually score, lead with customer-focused language instead of internal jargon, and enforce compliance with solicitation requirements from the first draft.
Every section the AI generates is designed to align with how Source Selection Evaluation Boards review and rate proposals. The result reads like it came from a seasoned proposal manager, not a machine.
Minutes, not days. Sign up, upload a few key documents - your capability statement, past performance narratives, or company boilerplate - then add the solicitation. Connect them to the agent writer and it begins analyzing requirements and generating content immediately.
There is no complex onboarding, no training period, and no implementation project. Most users produce their first draft sections within 15-20 minutes of creating an account.
A wide range of federal formats: RFPs, RFQs, sources sought responses, task order proposals, and IDIQ responses. Whether it is a full best-value RFP or a streamlined LPTA solicitation, the agents adapt to the evaluation criteria and the structure the solicitation demands.
Govafy drafts every section - technically complete, structured to the solicitation, and grounded in your own past performance. For many straightforward solicitations, the output is close to submission-ready with light editing.
That said, AI-drafted government proposals should always get a human review before submission. You certify the accuracy of past performance claims, pricing, and representations. Win themes and teaming strategy still benefit from someone who knows the opportunity.
Think of it this way: Govafy eliminates the blank page and handles the 80% of proposal writing that is mechanical. What is left for you is the 20% that actually differentiates a winning bid.
PLANS & TEAM
Yes. Professional is built for independent consultants and solo proposal writers: 40,000 credits per month and full access to generation, the company library, and export. If you occasionally collaborate with a client or subcontractor, Business (3 seats) is the next step up.
For a small BD team at that pace, Business ($499/mo, 3 seats, 160,000 credits) is typically the right fit. Larger teams running concurrent proposals at high volume - especially with dedicated proposal managers - are better served by Enterprise (15 seats, 1,000,000 credits).
Yes. Additional seats can be purchased on top of your current plan without forcing a full tier upgrade - useful when a reviewer or subcontractor needs occasional access.
Beyond the jump in credits (1M vs 160K) and seats (15 vs 3), Enterprise adds priority support, advanced security controls, and custom data retention policies. The Custom tier goes further: dedicated account management, custom integrations, onboarding and training, and SLA guarantees - designed for large organizations with specific compliance or procurement requirements.
TRUST & FLEXIBILITY
Yes. Every proposal, section, and document can be exported to Word (.docx) for final review and submission.
Absolutely. Everything you upload to the Govafy library is private to your organization. Your documents are never used to train AI models, never shared with other users, and never visible outside your account. Enterprise and Custom plans add further data retention controls and security configuration.
All plans include documentation and in-app guidance, plus the Govafy Community on Skool. Paid plans include direct support channels for deadline moments. Enterprise and Custom add priority response times, and Custom clients get dedicated account management and hands-on onboarding.
No. All plans are month to month and can be cancelled at any time. You keep access through the end of the billing period, and there are no cancellation fees.
