Responsive

Overview

Responsive, formerly RFPIO, sells response management software for RFPs, security questionnaires and other formal requests^[8]. Its pricing is built from three components: an annual platform fee, user licences, and add-ons and services, with unlimited projects and responses^[8]. The Emerging Edition starts at US$10,000 and includes unlimited response projects, an AI and automation studio, unlimited content and collaboration, integrations and access control^[8].

The Growth Edition adds intake requests, a LookUp feature, e-signature, advanced integrations, flexible hosting and premium deployment; the Enterprise Edition adds custom AI, enterprise security controls, advanced reporting and premium connectors for multi-region operations where legal and InfoSec teams take part^[8]. Responsive names Microsoft, JAGGAER, Netsmart and Payscale as customers, and reports a Microsoft case study citing US$4.2 million saved in response costs and 21,100 hours saved, figures that are vendor-reported^[8]. It is the most enterprise-oriented tool in this list and the most expensive published entry point.
