Each tender uses one flow from a monthly allowance. Unused flows do not carry over, and extra flows cost more.
Tenderly pricing(opens in a new tab)One user on Basic
The Free and Basic plans include a single user. Colleagues need a higher tier or extra users.
Tenderly pricing(opens in a new tab)Its documents, not the buyer’s
Tenderly generates bid documents and ESPD forms. Completing the buyer’s own workbooks and Word templates is not described.
