GozAround vs Submittable.

Submittable is the strongest tool in the category for grant-application intake and review workflows. If grants are the whole program, Submittable is excellent. If grants are one of five things you need, the trade-off changes.

Submittable sells the software. GozAround sells the software and the capacity to run it.

Submittable sells a platform your team still has to staff and operate. GozAround combines the platform with an operating team that carries the recurring administration across matching, grants, volunteering and reporting. Your people keep strategy, relationships and the final decisions, you work in the same admin surface our team does, every action is attributed, and you can change any rule at any time.

Be honest with yourself.

If you need any of the following, Submittable may be a better fit than we are.

  • Your only need is a grant-application intake and review platform with deep workflow customization.
  • You run a large grants-only program (e.g., a corporate foundation) and don't need employee giving / matching / volunteering integration.
  • You have a dedicated grants team that benefits from Submittable's deep review-workflow features.

Be honest with us.

If any of the following matter more, we'd love to talk.

  • You need grants as one piece of a broader CSR program, not the whole program.
  • You want employee giving, matching, volunteering, and grants run as one program with consistent reporting.
  • You want transparent pricing visible on the website.
  • You want AI-native impact storytelling out of the box.

Migration in plain language.

Many mid-market companies use Submittable for grants alongside GozAround for the rest of the program. If you\'re consolidating, we import grant programs and historical applications via CSV; deep review-workflow customizations may need to be re-mapped to our simpler grants flow. Migration typically takes 2-4 weeks.
