Unclaimed's pricing
| Eligibility check | Free forever — no sign-up |
|---|---|
| Personal | €50/year (or €7/month — the annual plan saves €34) |
| Startup | €49 per seat / month (or €490 per seat / year) |
| Enterprise | €80 per seat / month (or €800 per seat / year — billed annually) |
Where Hello Alice is ahead
- It costs nothing to use, with no seat or subscription price on the grant-matching feature at all.
- Broader small-business guidance beyond grants — an AI "advisory board", credit-building tools and its own financial products in one account.
Where we are ahead
- Coverage worldwide and for households, not one US small-business platform.
- No companion credit card or loans marketplace attached — grants are the whole product here, not a lead generator for a financial-services business.
- A public API and MCP server any AI assistant can query directly; Hello Alice's own integration surface is its in-app advisory chat.

- Daily status refresh, so an "Open" badge does not outlive the deadline it describes
