Granted vs Submittable: which is the better fit for a public grant program?
Short answerChoose Granted if you’re a public authority or grant board that wants board voting, payment controls and records set up for you; choose Submittable for one platform across grants, CSR and other application programs.
Submittable is a large application and grant platform used by foundations, governments and corporations, including for corporate giving and volunteering. Granted is narrower on purpose: it runs the grant cycle for organizations that award grants, from a public application page through board review and voting to payments, grantee reports and close-out.
The table compares the two on the work a public grant office does. Submittable’s answers come from its own website and help center, linked below, as of the date shown; Granted’s come from our product pages.

Common questions.
What is the main difference between Granted and Submittable?
Scope. Submittable serves foundations, governments and corporations across grants and CSR programs; Granted is built for organizations that award grants, with board voting, payment controls and grantee reports set up around that work.
Does Submittable hide reviewers’ votes from each other?
Partly. Submittable’s help center says level 1 to 3 reviewers see only their own vote or review in multi-stage reviews, depending on permissions. In Granted, every board member’s vote stays hidden until they cast their own.
Does Submittable publish its prices?
No. Submittable’s pricing page lists its packages and asks you to book a meeting for a quote. Granted starts at $18,000 per year, with setup, data migration, training and support included.
Can we switch from Submittable to Granted?
Yes. Our team configures Granted around your programs and imports your past awards from spreadsheet exports, so earlier rounds show in each organization’s funding history.
