# GovInbox

> GovInbox is a daily watch on U.S. federal set-aside contract opportunities. Every 4 hours it pulls new set-aside notices from the official SAM.gov API, matches them to your programs, NAICS codes, keywords and states, and writes a plain-English brief for each match. You or your AI agent opens the digest on demand.

## Core identity

- Public name: GovInbox
- Operator: Artifex Innovations LLC
- Canonical website: https://getgovinbox.com/
- API: https://api.getgovinbox.com
- Support: support@getgovinbox.com
- Company line: Built by a service-disabled veteran who got tired of Saturdays on SAM.gov
- GovInbox is faceless: no founder name, photo, or personal story is published.

## What it does

- Watches SAM.gov overnight across all eight federal set-aside programs, including SDVOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB. Marketing leads with SDVOSB; the product covers all eight and does not discriminate by program.
- Every 4 hours it pulls new set-aside notices from the official SAM.gov API, keeps the ones in your programs, NAICS codes, keywords and states, and writes a plain-English brief for each one: who is buying, what, where, and when the response is due.
- The digest is pull-only and on demand. GovInbox does not send the digest by email and does not promise scheduled delivery.
- Also watches federal grant postings from Simpler.Grants.gov. One search returns contracts and grants together, in tabs.
- Agency search understands common aliases: "Department of War", "DOW", "DoD", and "Department of Defense" all match the same defense opportunities.
- You can bookmark opportunities to keep the ones you want to chase.
- You or your AI agent can use it through the REST API with a bearer token. Give the token to your AI assistant and ask in plain words.

## Pricing

- Core: $19 per month or $190 per year. All eight set-aside programs, up to 3 watchlists, the on-demand brief with a plain-English write-up for every match, bookmarking, works with you or your AI agent.
- Pro: $49 per month or $470 per year. Everything in Core, unlimited watchlists, up to 3 users each with their own access token. For shops that chase more than one lane.
- Team: $99 per month or $990 per year. Everything in Pro, up to 10 users each with their own access token, shared org watchlists (one list the whole team sees). For growing firms.
- Trial: 7-day free trial on Core. No credit card. One trial per person or business. The 7 days start on first use, not at signup. Then it stops unless you subscribe.
- Limits are hard caps: hitting a watchlist or seat limit pauses things, with a warning at 80 percent. Nothing bills extra on its own.
- You can skip the trial and subscribe immediately.
- Cancel anytime; access runs to the end of the period you paid for.

## How access works

- Start Core subscribes to Core immediately (monthly $19 or annual $190), skipping the trial. The 7-day no-card trial is optional: "Send my trial link" emails a one-time confirmation link and the token is issued after you confirm; the 7 days start on first use; one trial per person or business. Pro and Team subscribe immediately with no trial.
- Start Pro goes through Stripe checkout for immediate paid access.
- Start Team goes through Stripe checkout for immediate paid access (monthly $99 or annual $990).
- API access uses a bearer token provisioned at signup. Keep tokens secret.

## What GovInbox does not do

- No email delivery of the digest. No scheduled push unless arranged through your own agent.
- No SAM.gov registration help, no proposal writing, no consulting, no services of any kind.
