Loopio alternatives
Teams look for a Loopio alternative for a few reasons: pricing is quoted rather than published, contracts run annually, and the platform is built for high enterprise volume that a smaller team does not need. Here are the main options, with what each one is good at.
Responsive (formerly RFPIO)
The closest match to Loopio at the enterprise end. Workflow-first, with broad integrations and support for RFPs, DDQs, and security questionnaires across large teams. Pricing is sales-led, with contracts reported between roughly 25,000 and 80,000 dollars per year. A strong choice if you need enterprise depth and can run a procurement process. See the Airprose vs Responsive comparison.
Airprose
Publicly priced at 149, 399, and 849 pounds per month, with unlimited users on every plan and a free start with no card. Airprose drafts each answer from your own approved content, shows the source next to it, and flags anything it cannot support rather than guessing. It covers RFPs, tenders, security questionnaires, DDQs, and vendor reviews, stores data in the UK, and does not use your content to train shared models. It is newer, with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification on the roadmap rather than in place today. It fits teams that want transparent pricing and a fast start over a sales cycle. See the Airprose vs Loopio comparison.
AI-native newcomers
A wave of newer tools, including AutoRFP.ai, Inventive.ai, and Arphie, take an AI-first approach to drafting responses. Feature sets and pricing vary, and most quote per customer rather than publishing rates, so check each vendor directly. They are worth a look if you want AI drafting and are comparing several options.
How to choose
Volume
Enterprise platforms earn their cost at high RFP counts and feel heavy below that.
Budget
Whether you need published pricing you can approve without a sales process.
Certifications
An established vendor has a longer security track record than a newer one.
Three things usually decide it. Your volume, since enterprise platforms earn their cost at high RFP counts and feel heavy below that. Your budget and whether you need published pricing you can approve without a sales process. And your certification requirements, since an established vendor will have a longer security track record than a newer one. Match those to the shortlist above and the choice tends to be clear.

It depends on your volume, budget and certification needs. Responsive suits large enterprise teams, Airprose suits teams that want transparent pricing and a fast start, and several AI-native tools are worth comparing.

Why most RFP software still charges per seat
Most RFP tools price by headcount and hide the number until a demo. Here's what that actually costs you, and how unlimited-user pricing works instead.
