The low end is mostly self-serve AI drafting tools with user or usage caps. The table sorts by the normalised monthly entry price so the units line up. ## Which one fits your situation - If you need a free plan to try the workflow, start with [1up](/1up), [Quilt](/quilt) and [Vercor](/vercor). - If you need many seats without per-user pricing, start with [1up](/1up), [Quilt](/quilt) and [Stotles](/stotles). ## What to test in a trial 1. Price the plan you would actually need for a year, not the entry tier. 2. Check the user, project or answer cap on the entry plan against last year’s volume. ## Caveats - Per-user prices look lower than flat plans for one person and higher for a team of ten. - Euro and dollar prices are shown as published and are not converted. ## How we decided who qualifies Only RFP, DDQ and questionnaire response tools with a published profile are checked. A tool is named here only when its record shows the rule above, either in a sourced research fact or in the reviewed profile, and we publish an answer only when at least three tools qualify. A tool missing from the table may still do this; it has not been documented in a way we could source. Read the [research methodology](/methodology) for how facts are dated and corrected. ## More questions on this topic Is there free RFP software? A few tools have free plans with tight limits on seats or answers. They suit trying the workflow, not running a busy bid team. What does cheap RFP software leave out? Usually approvals, SSO, integrations and higher usage limits. Check what starts on the next plan. ## Related questions - [Which RFP software has public pricing?](/questions/which-rfp-software-has-public-pricing) - [Which RFP software has a free trial?](/questions/which-rfp-software-has-a-free-trial) - [Is there free RFP software?](/questions/is-there-free-rfp-software) - [RFP software pricing](/pricing) - [All buyer questions](/questions) Compared tools on this page: 1up, Quilt, Vercor, Stotles, RFP Response Builder, Velocibid, DeepRFP and Savix and more.
