If you spend 2 hours per week searching SAM.gov at a $75/hr contractor rate, that is $750/month in labor. Keystone is $499/month — with automated scanning, set-aside filtering, and email delivery.
Yes — Keystone covers SAM.gov with full set-aside filtering (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, VOSB). Govly adds thousands of SLED sources and GWAC/IDIQ vehicles on top. If you need those, Govly makes sense. If you want SAM.gov set-aside matching at a fraction of the price, Keystone delivers.
Govly offers deeper data sources (6,000+ SLED sources, 40+ contract vehicles) and team collaboration tools. Keystone is SAM.gov-focused with weekly inbox delivery. If you rely heavily on GSA/SEWP/ITES contract vehicles or need team inboxes, you will notice the difference. Otherwise, you get the core SAM.gov set-aside matching at a much lower price.
