Why people compare Hudson Succeed and Glaxtons
Hudson bundles tender search, bid writing and outsourcing, so buyers usually arrive comparing a bundled subscription against buying bid writing on its own. The question is whether you want the pipeline and the writing from the same supplier.
The question worth asking
Bundled tender-alert-plus-writing models are efficient, but they create an incentive worth naming: the same supplier that tells you which tenders to bid also gets paid to write them. That is not automatically a problem, and plenty of clients are happy with it. But if you are going to buy both from one place, agree in advance who makes the bid or no-bid call and on what criteria, because a disciplined no-bid is the single most valuable output of that process.
