Side by side
What each is for
Grant Frog is built to run a grants program after you've found the funders: proposals, reports, tasks, budgets, documents and a content library. Grantlas starts earlier — who will fund work like yours, and are you actually eligible — and carries on through the application: a Tracker with tasks, notes, reminders and report due dates, a calendar feed and board reports.
Bottom line: Pick by where your hours go.
Government grants
Grant Frog's funder research covers foundations; its own site says federal and state opportunities come from elsewhere. Grantlas puts open federal, state and local grants in the same ranked list as foundations.
Bottom line: One list instead of two.
Knowing if you're a fit
Grantlas gives every match a Fit, a written reason you can forward to your board, and red flags shown first. Grant Frog lets you filter open-application vs. invitation-only funders.
Bottom line: Grantlas tells you why, not only whether.
Writing
Grant Frog includes Lily AI and a content library for drafting. We think drafting belongs in the assistant you already write in. Connect Grantlas to Claude or ChatGPT, included in every plan, and ask for the letter there: it pulls in your profile, the funder's giving by year and how to apply, and the grant's eligibility rules.
Bottom line: If you want a content library in the same app, Grant Frog has one. If you already write in Claude or ChatGPT, Grantlas plugs into it.
Consultants
Grantlas Pro includes 3 client organizations for $199, each with its own profile and matches, one Tracker across all of them, client reports and the API. Extra clients are $49 a month each, up to 5. Grant Frog includes client tracking on every plan.
Bottom line: Up to 3 clients, Grantlas costs less. At 4 or 5, Grant Frog Professional does.
