Short answer 8 response tools document on-premise, private or customer-hosted deployment: Rohirrim, GovEagle, RequestFX, Sequesto, VisibleThread, GovDash and 2 more. Ask for the feature list of the on-premise build specifically, since self-hosted editions often trail the cloud product. 8 tools qualify on recorded evidenceNo paid placement Sources checked through Oct 2026 ## Tools that qualify, with the evidence __Rule: A recorded sentence names on-premise, air-gapped, private cloud or customer-hosted deployment. Ordered by the related capability scores; ties go to sourced research facts, then overall score. Source dates are when the fact was read.__ | Tool | Evidence | Source | Starting price | | ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------- | | [Rohirrim](/rohirrim) | Rohirrim documents Azure Commercial and Azure Government deployments, customer-hosted or Rohirrim-managed. | [rohirrim.ai](https://rohirrim.ai/blog/rohanrfp-for-secure-customer-hosted-environments/)as of Aug 2026 | Custom | | [GovEagle](/goveagle) | Its FedRAMP Moderate status comes from running as a segregated tenant inside the Knox Systems authorization (package F1206111371, effective July 31, 2026), and on-prem or customer-hosted deployments sit outside that boundary. | [help.goveagle.com](https://help.goveagle.com/docs/security-overview)as of Oct 2026 | Custom | | [RequestFX](/requestfx) | The pricing FAQ adds that on-premise deployment is available. | [requestfx.com](https://requestfx.com/privacy)as of Oct 2026 | $299/mo | | [Sequesto](/sequesto) | Add-ons: AI credits €50 per 1,000 (Team and Scale), slide deck builder €25/user/month, SSO €450/month (Team and Scale), Private Cloud (Enterprise, quoted) | [sequesto.com](https://sequesto.com/pricing)as of Oct 2026 | €750/mo | | [VisibleThread](/visiblethread) | Annual subscription charged per user, quoted by team size and deployment type (VisibleThread Cloud, US GovCloud, customer private cloud, on-premise). | [visiblethread.com](https://www.visiblethread.com/pricing/)as of Oct 2026 | Custom | | [GovDash](/govdash) | US hosting: Yes (Azure Commercial Central US; Azure Government and customer-hosted options) | [govdash.com](https://www.govdash.com/security)as of Aug 2026 | Custom | | [Tendrio](/tendrio) | On-premise deployment costs extra. | [tendrio.ai](https://www.tendrio.ai/pricing)as of Oct 2026 | Custom | | [Iternal](/iternal) | Runs on customer infrastructure, including air-gapped setups, which suits classified and data-residency-bound work. | [iternal.ai](https://iternal.ai)as of Oct 2026 | Custom | ## Why this question matters Defense, intelligence and some regulated buyers cannot send bid content to a shared cloud. On-premise and air-gapped options exist, usually at extra cost and with slower updates. ## Which one fits your situation - If you work on US defense contracts, start with [Rohirrim](/rohirrim), [GovEagle](/goveagle) and [VisibleThread](/visiblethread). - If you bid on EU public tenders, start with [RequestFX](/requestfx), [Sequesto](/sequesto) and [Tendrio](/tendrio). ## What to test in a trial 1. Ask which AI models run inside your environment and which call out. 2. Confirm the update process and how long cloud features take to arrive on-premise. ## Caveats - On-premise deployment is priced separately on several records. - Hardware and model hosting may be your cost. ## 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 Can AI RFP tools run without internet access? A few document air-gapped deployment. Ask which model runs locally and how it is updated. Is private cloud the same as on-premise? No. Private cloud is a dedicated environment, often vendor-managed; on-premise runs on your own infrastructure. ## Related questions - [Which proposal software is FedRAMP or CMMC compliant?](/questions/which-proposal-software-is-fedramp-or-cmmc-compliant) - [Which RFP software offers EU data hosting?](/questions/which-rfp-software-offers-eu-data-hosting) - [Best RFP software by use case](/best-rfp-software) - [All buyer questions](/questions) Compared tools on this page: Rohirrim, GovEagle, RequestFX, Sequesto, VisibleThread, GovDash, Tendrio and Iternal.
