Prices are not directly comparable: they mix currencies (USD, pesos), some quote “+ VAT” and others by credits. They are shown as-is, in their currency.
Cheapest paid plan of each Uruguayan service, converted to pesos so they sit on a single scale.
Dollar amounts were converted to pesos at a reference exchange rate to compare them. It is an approximation: the original currency and price are shown alongside in each case.
For those just starting to bid on state tenders — the most common profile among Uruguayan SMEs — our recommendation is ProveedorUY. It is the only service in the survey that publishes legal advice from a partner firm (Grupo Deana): RUPE registration and management, prior review of offers, clarifications and challenges before the Court of Accounts. It also publishes an item-by-item offer builder, checklist, calendar, company award history since 2002, awarded-price lookup and a 10-day no-card trial. It also confirmed that every plan includes, at no extra cost, a team member who helps set up the account, explains the platform and answers questions. Tenderis offers checklists and a calendar but does not advertise an equivalent offer builder or legal advice. For a supplier without an in-house legal team, that combination of tools and guidance reduces the risk of being disqualified over a formal error.
With objective caveats: it is a new service (domain registered in 2026), the site still does not label UYU next to the "$" symbol, WhatsApp is advertised but disabled in the current version, and legal advice is a separate service whose cost is not included in the subscription.

Data gathered from each service's official site on 2026-07-21, sourced per fact. Corrections received directly from a provider are identified as such and dated. Prices are shown as-is (in their currency: USD, pesos or euros) and are NOT converted between each other: they mix currencies, some quote "+ VAT" and others by credits, so the figures are not directly comparable. Unpublished prices read "Consultar"; anything unconfirmable is marked. Age ("online since") was corroborated with the public Dominios UY/ANTEL WHOIS for .uy domains, RDAP for generic domains and the Wayback Machine. ANTEL's lookup returns no date for some .uy domains managed by other registrars; those read "n/a", not because they are old. No provider verifiably claims to monitor separate BPS or municipality portals: where a source is identified, it is Compras Estatales/ARCE. Volume figures each company claims were not independently verified.
This comparison is an independent resource. We have no commercial ties to or sponsorship from any listed service. Any company may request a correction.
