Migration guide
Switch from BidPrime to BidSparq
What the move actually involves: the capability map, the cost math, and a first-week checklist. Most teams are fully set up inside an afternoon.
14-day Pro Max trial · No credit card · No annual contract
The short answer
Switching takes an afternoon, not a migration project.There is no data lock-in to untangle: you recreate your searches as watches, add live pursuits to the pipeline board, and BidSparq's AI scores every active opportunity across 23,000+ sources against your profile from day one. Pricing is public (Pro Max $249/mo ($199/mo billed annually)), while BidPrime's pricing is not published: quote-based; reviewers report renewal fees and annual increases.

Migration questions
How do I move my active pipeline out of BidPrime?
Your live opportunities are quick to recreate: add each active pursuit to BidSparq's Pursuits board (pipeline stages, notes, files, forecasting) and save your recurring searches as watches with alerts. Most teams have their active pipeline re-built in under an hour, and BidSparq's AI immediately scores the full opportunity backlog against your profile, which often surfaces bids the old tool never showed you.
Does BidSparq require an annual contract?
No. BidSparq is $249/month, published publicly, cancel anytime. Annual billing at $199/month is optional, never required. The 14-day free trial includes full Pro Max access with no credit card.
What will I miss from BidPrime?
We publish an honest comparison rather than pretending the incumbents have no strengths: see the "Where BidPrime excels" section on our comparison page for exactly what it does well and whether that matters for your workflow.
