EchoGrant vs Grantify
We compete with Grantify, so read this knowing that. Everything about Grantify below comes from its own published pages on the date above, and we say where a figure is a customer's report rather than a published price.
Should I choose EchoGrant or Grantify?
Choose Grantify if you want a packaged service that pairs AI drafting with a set block of time from a human funding adviser and you are happy to agree the fee in an order form. Choose EchoGrant if you want prices you can read before you speak to anyone: a free fit score, a £250 review of an application you have drafted, a self-serve platform at £49 per user per month after a 14-day free trial, or done-for-you writing from £2,500 with no success fee.
Grantify publishes no price. Its terms describe package fees, commission and sometimes subscription fees set in each client’s order form, and state that fees are non-refundable once paid. UK customers have reported quotes of about £4,000 to £5,000 upfront plus a 3 to 3.5 per cent success commission, though those are individual accounts rather than a price list. EchoGrant competes with Grantify.

Frequently asked questions
Is EchoGrant cheaper than Grantify?
Usually at the point of purchase, because EchoGrant’s prices are published and Grantify’s are not. Done-for-you writing starts at £2,500 with no success fee, against customer reports of about £4,000 to £5,000 upfront plus 3 to 3.5 per cent for Grantify. Grantify’s figure comes from forum posts between 2021 and 2023 and may have changed, so ask for the order form in writing.
Does Grantify charge a success fee?
Its Terms of Business define commission fees alongside package fees, with the amounts set in each client’s order form. Customers have reported a commission of 3 to 3.5 per cent. EchoGrant charges no success fee on any service.
What happens if the application is not funded?
Grantify’s terms say all fees are non-refundable once paid and do not entitle a client to a refund on cancellation, though it offers a free second attempt if you are not funded first time. EchoGrant’s done-for-you service carries a 50 per cent refund if you are not shortlisted, subject to conditions set out at purchase.
Is Grantify legitimate?
Yes. Grantify Ltd is registered at Companies House under number 12274128 and was incorporated on 22 October 2019. The criticisms we found concern value, upfront fees and refunds, not legitimacy. See our full Grantify review for the sources.
