Pro pays for itself on a single $100K+ deal

On a $100K contract: Free pays 10% = $10,000, Pro pays 7% = $7,000. That's a $3,000 savings — against a $948/year membership. On larger contracts the math gets even better.

Frequently asked questions

Is the first contract really 5% across all tiers?
Yes. Every new GovLane member — Free, Starter, or Pro — pays just 5% on their first won contract, no matter the value. This is our hook: you only win when we win.
What are the commission tiers after the first contract?
After your first win, commissions vary by contract value and plan tier. On a $100K contract: Free pays 10% ($10,000), Starter pays 8% ($8,000), Pro pays 7% ($7,000). Pro pays for itself on a single $100K+ deal.
What's the 5% floor?
No commission ever exceeds 5% on contracts over $500K, regardless of tier. Large contracts are already valuable — we don't take a larger cut on bigger deals.
What's the ROI case for Pro?
Pro membership is $948/year. On a single $100K contract, Pro saves you $3,000 vs. Free — that's 3× the annual cost covered in one win. For businesses bidding regularly, Pro effectively pays for itself on the first deal of the year.
Can I cancel my Starter or Pro subscription anytime?
Yes. Cancel anytime from your Stripe billing portal. You keep paid access through the end of your billing period, then revert to Free. Your commission tier is tied to your active subscription.
Is GovLane a replacement for SAM.gov registration?
No. You must be registered on SAM.gov to win federal contracts — GovLane can't change that. We help you find and pursue the right opportunities. See our SAM.gov registration guide for step-by-step instructions.
