Deltek is the dominant GovCon ERP — built for 100–5,000 employee firms at $1,000–2,000+/mo with months of implementation. If your team is under 50 people and you need contract and deliverable tracking, not a full ERP suite, you're paying for a lot of software you'll never use.

Deltek is the dominant name in GovCon ERP — and for large firms running project accounting, resource planning, and Costpoint integration across hundreds of employees, it earns that position. But "dominant in the market" doesn't mean "right for your team."
For a 5–50 person GovCon firm, Deltek is enterprise software priced and scoped for organizations 10x your size. Months of implementation, heavy training requirements, and per-seat pricing that compounds as you grow — all before you've tracked a single deliverable deadline.
$199/mo flat — no per-seat billing, no enterprise quoting. Deltek's per-seat costs at $1,000–2,000+/mo are cost-prohibitive before your first CLIN is awarded.
No implementation consultants, no discovery phase, no months-long onboarding. Se7en is operational the same day you sign up.
Se7en is built around contract and deliverable management. Deltek's core is project accounting and resource planning — powerful, but overkill if you're tracking CDRLs and expiration dates.
Month-to-month, cancel anytime, full data export. Deltek's multi-year contracts mean you're committed before you know if it fits your workflow.
One flat price covers everything a small GovCon team needs to manage contracts, track deliverables, and stay DCAA-compliant — no hidden tiers, no upsells.
No sales call required. No annual contract. No implementation consultant. Just a contract management system built for GovCon teams under 50 people. Free trial, live in 15 minutes.
