Frequently asked questions
How is GovPilot priced?
Pricing is based on two factors: the population size of your government and the number of templated modules you select. Plans range from Essentials (5 modules) through Professional (10), Enterprise (20) and Unlimited (125+). All plans include unlimited user accounts and support, and pricing references a five-year contract. Actual prices are not published - you request a quote through a short consultation.
Do we pay per user or per login seat?
No. Every plan includes unlimited user login accounts regardless of how many modules you buy, so each official and employee can have their own credentials at no additional cost.
What does implementation involve?
GovPilot does not publish a fixed implementation timeline. Deployments use pre-built templated modules, and the GIS map only requires a parcel shapefile from your engineering or GIS department. The Unlimited tier adds free legacy data importing and four days of in-person training; support is unlimited on all plans.
Is GovPilot secure and independently certified?
Yes. GovPilot states it is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, encrypts data in transit, uses role-based access controls, hosts on Microsoft Azure, runs at least annual third-party penetration tests and maintains geographically remote disaster recovery. Enterprise-grade security products and third-party assessments are used to keep the posture current.
Does GovPilot include AI features?
The vendor pages reviewed do not describe AI or machine-learning capabilities, model providers, or AI training practices. Automation in GovPilot refers to digital forms, rules-based workflows and reporting, so buyers should confirm any AI roadmap directly with the vendor.
