Artificial intelligence is transforming how organisations discover funding opportunities and prepare grant proposals.
Both Grant Radar and Grantific aim to simplify the grant process, but they take very different approaches.
Grantific brings funding discovery, partner matchmaking and AI-assisted proposal development into a single collaborative platform.
Grant Radar focuses on one objective: helping organisations identify the right funding opportunities quickly and efficiently before continuing their journey through specialised applications within the Grant 360 ecosystem.
So which approach is right for your organisation?

What Is Grantific?
Grantific is an AI-powered collaborative platform developed through a partnership between Catalyze Group and Brainial.
It combines funding discovery, partner matchmaking, proposal development and collaboration into a single environment.
The platform builds upon Catalyze's extensive experience in European funding together with Brainial's AI technology, emphasising structured workflows, source traceability and collaboration throughout the grant process.
What Is Grant Radar?
Grant Radar is Grant 360's dedicated funding discovery application.
Its purpose is intentionally focused:
- discover funding opportunities;
- monitor calls across funding programmes;
- receive personalised recommendations;
- save searches;
- receive funding alerts.
Once a relevant opportunity has been identified, users can seamlessly continue with other specialised applications within Grant 360.
Different Product Philosophies
This is the biggest difference between both solutions.
Grantific follows an all-in-one philosophy.
Funding search, proposal development, collaboration and partner discovery are available within a single platform.
Grant 360 follows a modular ecosystem.
Each application specialises in one stage of the grant lifecycle:
- Grant Radar discovers funding opportunities.
- Grant Genius assists with proposal writing.
- Grant Planner manages funded projects.
- Grant Hub organises project documentation.
- Grant Mind captures ideas and institutional knowledge.
Rather than concentrating every feature into one application, Grant 360 allows organisations to adopt only the tools they actually need.
Funding Discovery
Both platforms use artificial intelligence to improve funding discovery.
Grantific integrates funding search into a broader collaborative workflow.
Grant Radar is designed specifically for funding discovery.
Its interface, workflows and recommendations are entirely centred around identifying relevant funding opportunities quickly, reducing the time spent searching and monitoring calls.
For organisations whose immediate priority is finding suitable funding opportunities, this focused approach keeps the experience simple and efficient.
Proposal Development
Grantific includes AI-assisted proposal development as one of its core capabilities. It combines proposal drafting with collaboration and knowledge reuse inside the same platform.
Within Grant 360, proposal preparation is handled by Grant Genius, a dedicated tool specifically designed for European grant applications.
Separating proposal writing from funding discovery allows each application to evolve independently while remaining fully integrated.
Partner Matchmaking
Grantific also includes partner matchmaking to help organisations build consortia.
Grant 360 has plans to address it later, most probably in 2027, with a new dedicated application focused on identifying and managing collaboration opportunities.
Project Delivery
Finding funding is only the beginning.
Grant 360 extends beyond proposal preparation through Grant Planner, which supports project implementation with work packages, deliverables, milestones, budgets, governance and reporting.
This provides continuity from funding discovery through project execution.
Pricing and Accessibility
Another important difference is accessibility.
Grantific currently follows a commercial model centred around demonstrations and customer engagement before adoption. Public pricing information is not currently available on its website.
Grant Radar follows a different philosophy.
Anyone can start searching for funding opportunities immediately and free of charge. Registration is only required for advanced features such as saving searches and receiving personalised funding alerts.
This lower barrier to entry allows researchers, SMEs and consultants to explore European funding opportunities without making an upfront financial commitment.
Which Platform Should You Choose?
Choose Grantific if you want:
- an integrated grant platform;
- AI-assisted proposal development;
- partner matchmaking;
- collaborative workflows inside one environment.
Choose Grant Radar if your priority is:
- discovering funding opportunities efficiently;
- accessing funding search immediately and free of charge;
- adopting specialised applications for each stage of the grant lifecycle;
- building your own modular grant management ecosystem.
Final Verdict
Grantific and Grant Radar reflect two different visions of grant software.
Grantific brings discovery, proposal writing and collaboration together in a single AI-powered platform backed by decades of grant consulting experience.
Grant Radar focuses on funding discovery and forms the entry point to the broader Grant 360 ecosystem, where dedicated applications support proposal writing, project management, document management and knowledge management.
Neither philosophy is inherently better.
Organisations looking for an all-in-one collaborative platform may prefer Grantific.
Those who value specialised applications that work together seamlessly may find Grant Radar and the wider Grant 360 ecosystem to be a better long-term fit.
