Frequently asked questions

Pricing questions, answered

How much does Skim cost?

Skim has a free tier and three paid plans, all with unlimited users. The Skim Advisor agent is free in beta via waitlist. Starter is £199/mo, Growth is £599/mo and Enterprise is custom from £1,500/mo. Annual billing takes 15% off, which brings Starter to £169/mo and Growth to £509/mo.

Does Skim have a free tier?

Yes. The Skim Advisor agent is free in beta, with unlimited users, via a waitlist — capped at 5 messages per day and 1 country to research. Chat with the agent over 20+ years of public sector data and context to research upcoming contracts and competitors. The full platform — live tender tracking, bid/no-bid analysis and pipeline management — starts on Starter at £199/mo.

Is there a contract lock-in?

No long-term lock-in. Monthly plans run month-to-month and can be cancelled before the next billing date. Annual plans are billed upfront and run for twelve months. You can switch plans at any time, with the change taking effect from the next billing cycle.

What is included on Starter, Growth and Enterprise?

Starter (£199/mo) covers 3 countries with email and chat support. Growth (£599/mo) covers 10 countries, with extra countries and custom portal integration available as add-ons, and adds an advisory and bid support service — a dedicated account manager, bi-weekly strategy meetings and hands-on bid support — plus priority support. Enterprise (from £1,500/mo) covers every UK and EU country and is Skim as a Service: the Skim bid team does the bidding for you. Every plan has unlimited users.

What is Skim as a Service?

Skim as a Service is what the Enterprise plan delivers, and it is built for companies with no bid team of their own. Skim becomes the bid team. Onboarding builds a capability profile from your service lines, certifications, accreditations and delivery locations, and every match is measured against it. Daily monitoring surfaces a maximum of three strong matches rather than a feed. Forward pipeline mapping gives the incumbent, value, expiry date and your position on contracts coming to market. Early engagement covers planning notices, RFIs and pre-market engagement, so you meet buyers before the tender is written. Named prime contractors who cannot self-deliver come with an introduction route each. The Skim bid team drafts questionnaires and responses, or strengthens drafts written by your own technical team, on a weekly strategy call with a dedicated Slack or Teams channel in between. The bid team delivers in the UK and Ireland; platform coverage stays UK-wide and EU-wide.

Do annual plans save money?

Yes. Annual billing takes 15% off the monthly rate. Starter drops from £199/mo to £169/mo and Growth from £599/mo to £509/mo when billed annually. Enterprise is billed annually only.
