How much does it cost to register with SAM?
SAM.gov registration is completely free. Never pay a third party just to create your basic registration.
Registering an entity in SAM.gov is free; you should never pay a third party just to "unlock" the site or create a basic registration. Many small businesses, however, invest in tools and guidance to avoid profile mistakes that keep them invisible to federal buyers, such as bad keywords, missing NAICS codes, or incomplete certifications.
GovCon in a Box is designed for exactly this gap: you can start with a free Federal Visibility Score and AI-powered tools to fix profile issues yourself, then upgrade to an affordable subscription if you want a full capture pipeline, teaming workflow, and ongoing coaching. That way your money goes toward winning work, not paying for something SAM already offers at no charge.

Our tools help you prepare for SAM.gov registration with the right NAICS codes, keywords, and capability language so buyers can find you once your profile goes live.
