The Modern Alternative To WizeHive
Stop adapting your award programme to your software. AwardScience is the AI-native award management platform that fits your exact workflow, automates the heavy lifting, and launches in weeks—not months.
Capable shouldn’t mean complicated
WizeHive is a solid grants and scholarships platform built primarily for the North American market. It’s functional, but for organisations running award programmes—especially those with multi-round judging, APAC compliance requirements, or bilingual applicant bases—WizeHive creates friction it was never designed to solve. Administrators spend more time working around the platform than running their programme, and judges are left with a review portal that makes every submission feel like a chore.
Enter AwardScience. Built for APAC. Powered by AI.
We built AwardScience from the ground up to be AI-native and APAC-first. We don’t force your unique process into rigid boxes. Instead, AwardScience adapts to you, using AI to instantly set up workflows, summarise applications, manage conflicts of interest, and give your judges a frictionless experience that makes them want to come back next cycle.

Why Programme Managers are switching to AwardScience?
A platform built for APAC, not retrofitted for it
WizeHive was designed for the North American grants market. AwardScience is APAC-first. That means PDPA compliance for Singapore, PDPO for Hong Kong, and Australian Privacy Act alignment—built in, not bolted on. It means support in your timezone (SGT, HKT, AEST). It means submission forms in English, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil, Japanese and Korean. And it means your programme actually reaches every community it is designed to serve, instead of defaulting to English-only assumptions.
Give your judges back 40% of their time
The biggest bottleneck in any award cycle is judge fatigue. Instead of forcing your panel to read raw uploads in a clunky portal, AwardScience uses AI to automatically generate clean, unbiased executive summaries of every application. Your judges focus on making better decisions—not processing paperwork. Built-in conflict-of-interest declarations, blind review controls, and recusal management keep your process defensible and auditable from first submission to final decision.
More than applications and review—the whole awards lifecycle
WizeHive stops at submission and review. AwardScience takes you all the way through. Sponsor portals give your funders real-time programme visibility without you playing middleman. Ceremony management, winner galleries and RSVP tools mean your recognition moment is as polished as your selection process. And transparent, published pricing—from $149/month—means no surprise quotes when you are halfway through a procurement process.
