RFP and questionnaire software, compared honestly
Published pricing where it exists, independent buyer data where it doesn't, and a clear statement of who each platform is actually for — including when that isn't MyFAQ.
If you need formal bid governance across a fifty-person response organisation, Responsive and Loopio are mature and you should look at them seriously.
MyFAQ is the right answer when your responses are multilingual, your data has to stay in a specific region, you sell more than one product, and you are not willing to spend five figures a year plus an implementation project to answer questionnaires.
Two things MyFAQ does that we could not find documented in any competitor's public material: it keeps the buyer's documents from ever counting as proof of your capabilities, and it works out which of your products a questionnaire is actually about before choosing evidence.
How the market splits
Response management platforms
(built 2010–2018)Responsive · Loopio · Qvidian · RFP360
Content libraries with workflow and reporting around them, with AI added afterwards. Strong governance, deep integrations, mature reporting. Per-seat pricing, quote-based. Implementation commonly runs 20–40% of first-year subscription, and 3–6 months for enterprise deployments.
Choose this generation when you have a large formal bid organisation and the governance model matters more than the cost.
AI-native platforms
(built 2021–2025)MyFAQ · AutoRFP.ai · Arphie · Inventive AI · Conveyor · AutogenAI · Tenderbolt · RFP.ai
The AI is the product. Answers arrive cited and confidence-scored, the library largely maintains itself, and you start in days rather than quarters. Pricing is more often published and more often flat rather than per-seat.
Choose this generation when speed to first answer, cost structure and answer quality matter more than two decades of workflow configuration options.
MyFAQ sits in Generation 2 — and within it, on the regulated / multilingual / multi-product side that most of the others were not built for.
Where MyFAQ is different
A source is not proof until it supports the exact claim.
Buyer context never becomes your proof.
Your prospect's RFP shapes how an answer is written — its tone, its scope, its terminology. It never counts as evidence that you hold a capability. The two roles are separated and labelled in every citation, and on shared channels the buyer's material is excluded from the answer entirely.
Your data region, your languages.
Choose EU or US at sign-up; documents, questionnaires, indexes and history stay there. Six interface languages, answers in 140+, and evidence written in one language can answer a question asked in another — so you don't maintain one library per market.
The right product's evidence answers.
MyFAQ reads the whole questionnaire to work out which product or module is under review, then prefers evidence for that subject. If you sell more than one thing, this is the difference between a true answer and a true answer about the wrong product.
No librarian required.
Categories, languages and descriptions are set on upload. Text inside scanned pages and screenshots becomes searchable. Near-duplicate Q&A merges instead of piling up. An uploaded spreadsheet is routed by what's actually in it — completed questionnaire, data table, or a form that still needs answering.
Your agent works in MyFAQ, not just reads it.
Competitors that connect ChatGPT or Claude give the agent read, search and draft access to the answer library. MyFAQ's connector lets it start a bid, attach the documents, draft and review answers, generate the executive summary and deliver the buyer's workbook, under the user's own permissions.
Bid skills and spend control built in.
The MyFAQ plugin adds go/no-go analysis, competitive analysis, defense presentations and executive summaries to your agent. Anything that costs credits is shown with its price and approved with one click, and the agent's spend is reported separately.
