Which to choose?

TenderScan if you bid in several provinces today or want built-in bid management tools.
Veillea if your market is Québec and federal first, and you want bilingual matching and English/French summaries of French-language SEAO notices.

Veillea does not replace registering on SEAO, CanadaBuys or a buyer's portal: to get documents and bid, you still use the official platform. Summaries help you triage; the official notice always prevails.
