Who is each service best suited for?

Radar may fit better when

  • You want a Missouri-specific view of public bids and earlier public project signals.
  • You want every opportunity tied back to an official owner or public-record source.
  • You need a focused monitoring and business-development workflow rather than a bid-network plan room.
  • You want a clearly published, affordable tier starting at $4.99/month.

PlanHub may fit better when

  • Direct GC invitations and bidding through a contractor network are central to your workflow.
  • You want plan-room, takeoff, estimating or bid-management tools.
  • You prefer territory defined by a geographic radius or need a broader bidding network.
  • You are a GC looking to post projects and manage subcontractor bids.
Different jobs, possible overlap. Radar is designed as a focused Missouri public-opportunity and early-signal monitor. PlanHub is positioned around contractor-network discovery and bid workflow. Some teams may have a reason to use both.
