Question 1

What is GrantIQ?

Accepted Answer

GrantIQ is a grant discovery and proposal-drafting platform for UK and EU funding. It screens eligibility before applicants invest time in a proposal, scores each opportunity against the applicant profile with explainable, rule-by-rule reasoning, and drafts proposals through a multi-pass writing system.

Question 2

Which countries and funding programmes does GrantIQ cover?

Accepted Answer

GrantIQ covers 100+ UK and EU funding sources, with Greek national programmes for cross-border applicants. UK coverage includes UKRI, Innovate UK, all seven Research Councils, UK Government, devolved administrations, and major charitable foundations. EU coverage includes Horizon Europe, the European Innovation Council, LIFE, Erasmus+, and sectoral programmes. Greek coverage includes ESPA programmes and national funding bodies.

Question 3

Does GrantIQ offer a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Every paid plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required to start. Paid plans are Starter at £39/month (£313/year) and Professional at £149/month (£1,199/year). Annual billing saves 33%.

Question 4

Who is GrantIQ for?

Accepted Answer

GrantIQ is built for UK and EU startups, SMEs, charities, social enterprises, and academic researchers seeking grant funding. Grant consultants can also use the platform in a multi-client workspace with white-label output.

Question 5

How does GrantIQ's eligibility scoring work?

Accepted Answer

GrantIQ evaluates each grant against the applicant profile using a four-stage matching funnel: hard eligibility gates (country, organisation type, sector), soft-criteria scoring, multi-signal relevance scoring, and an LLM relevance judge for final ranking. Every recommendation shows a go/no-go verdict with cited evidence — not a relevance score alone.

Question 6

Can GrantIQ write grant applications for me?

Accepted Answer

GrantIQ drafts grant applications using a four-pass writing system (Outline, Expand, Critique, Polish) that cites the applicant's own track record, publications, and project history. The output is an editable first draft for the applicant to refine, not a fire-and-forget submission.

Question 7

How is GrantIQ different from Grantify, Granter.ai, or Grantable?

Accepted Answer

GrantIQ focuses on UK and EU funding, whereas most competitors focus on US SBIR/STTR or US nonprofit grants. GrantIQ's opinionated anchor is eligibility screening with go/no-go verdicts, hidden-requirement surfacing, and time-to-ready estimates — every grant match carries a structured eligibility verdict with cited evidence, not a relevance score alone.

Question 8

How often are grants updated?

Accepted Answer

GrantIQ refreshes its grant database daily from 100+ source adapters covering UK and EU funding bodies. New calls, updated deadlines, and newly closed opportunities are reflected within 24 hours.
