Deductly vs a grant consultant

Why not hire a grant consultant?

Grant consultants and writers do real work, and for a large, complex application a good one can be worth it. They also tend to charge a success fee, often a percentage of the award, or a substantial hourly or retainer rate, and they usually focus on the bigger programs where that fee makes sense. That leaves the long tail, the smaller grants, credits, and deductions that add up, unserved. Deductly covers the whole picture for a flat CA$79, then hands you a first-draft application that you or your accountant can finish.

When a grant consultant is the right tool

For a single large, competitive grant with a complex technical narrative, an experienced consultant who knows that program can be worth their fee. Deductly is the better fit for finding everything you qualify for first, and for the many smaller programs no consultant will work on for the size of the award.
