Questions, answered plainly.
Straight answers, the same ones we'd give you on a call. If yours isn't here, ask us and we'll answer it the same way.
Getting started
Is the free tier really free?
Yes. No credit card, no trial period, no expiration. Free is for individual exploration; it's limited in scope, not capability. Paid plans exist for when BeMo becomes something you rely on.
What does open beta mean?
We are early, and that is the point. BeMo is live today and nonprofits are using it on real work, and the free beta is the moment when the people doing the work can still shape what gets built for them. Free stays free; billing is off during the beta, and the prices are published so you know what BeMo costs.
How long does setup take?
Your first conversation takes 60 seconds. There are no forms to fill out and no dashboards to configure; you describe what you're working on, and BeMo meets you there. The picture of your organization builds as you work.
Do we have to migrate everything to start?
No. Start with a conversation. BeMo replaces nothing: your current systems keep their jobs, and the picture of your organization builds as you work.
We're tiny. Is this really for us?
BeMo is built specifically for small and mid-sized nonprofits: the ED doing five jobs, the two-person development team, the organization where everything lives in one person's head. The free tier means size is never the barrier to finding out.
Working with BeMo
We already use ChatGPT or Claude.
Good. A general assistant knows what one person told it, under one login, and leaves when they do. BeMo holds what the organization knows, with its sources, for whoever does the work next.
Do we have to replace our CRM?
No. Your CRM keeps its job. BeMo is where the work gets done and where what your organization knows builds. Your CRM knows five thousand names; BeMo knows why you wrote to the twelve that matter today.
Will the AI make decisions for us?
No. BeMo drafts and proposes; people decide. Nothing enters your Knowledge Base without your confirmation, every fact shows its source, and BeMo tells you when it doesn't know. Your judgment is the one thing it's built to support, never replace.
How is this different from a grant database?
Databases give you volume; BeMo gives you fit. You see why a funder matches your mission and capacity, not just that they exist, and every cycle builds on the last instead of starting from a blank search box.
Your data
Is our data safe?
Your outputs are yours. Your data is never used to train models and never shared. World data (funders, grants, public filings) comes from public sources; the picture of your organization is built with you, fact by fact, with every source shown. More on the Security page →
Can we export everything?
Yes, anytime. No lock-in, by design. We win by being worth staying for, not by holding your knowledge hostage.
Who can see our information?
Your organization, governed by roles and permissions you control. Nothing about your organization is visible to anyone else unless you choose to share it.
Where does BeMo's funding data come from?
Public sources: private and corporate foundations from their own 990 filings, federal awards and the sub-awards that pass through them, and open opportunities, refreshed regularly. Your own data is never part of it. See what BeMo includes →
What happens if we stop paying?
You export everything and go, or drop back to Free. Monthly billing, no long-term contracts, no exit fees. Nothing should make walking away hard; that's what makes staying meaningful.
Support and pricing
What support do we get?
Support goes straight to the people who build the product. There are no ticket tiers and no layers between what you experience and what changes next.
Do you offer nonprofit discounts?
The pricing is already built for nonprofit budgets. We don't inflate a base price to advertise a discount off it. Every price is published on the pricing page.
What happens when someone leaves our organization?
Team is what we are building now: what your organization knows stays with the organization, whoever is on the team, so the next person starts with real context instead of an empty inbox. That's the point of BeMo.
