PYRAMYD vs Responsive
Responsive is the enterprise RFP platform. PYRAMYD ships RFX inside the Competition hub, one of five.
Responsive (formerly RFPIO) is the enterprise RFP category leader · the right choice when proposal management is the entire team's job. PYRAMYD ships RFX inside the Competition hub — one of five hubs (Explore, Competition, Customer, Product, Studio) on a free Foundation — with per-claim provenance on every answer.
Responsive: enterprise RFP · $40K-$150K/yrPYRAMYD: RFX in the Competition hub · from $250/seat/mo
Side-by-side
Two takes on RFX.
| Dimension | Responsive | PYRAMYD |
|---|---|---|
| Category position | Enterprise RFP platform leader. Strongest in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, federal). Deepest workflow tooling for proposal teams >25 seats. | RFX lives in the Competition hub, one of five hubs on the platform. Strongest where RFX is part of a broader competitive + market + customer motion. |
| Answer library | Centralized answer library with versioning, approval workflows, multi-language support, custom metadata. | Approved-Answer Library Agent · same versioning + approval primitives, plus auto-flagging when graph facts diverge from library entries (deprecated pricing, expired certs). |
| AI drafting | Responsive AI Assistant · matches questions to library, drafts using LLM, scores match confidence. | RFX Draft Agent · matches library + graph + writes from both. 92% confidence on graph-grounded answers. Multi-source citation chain per claim. |
| Question intake | Spreadsheet (Excel/Word) + standardized security questionnaire (SIG, CAIQ) intake. Deepest format support. | Question Decomposition Agent on PDF/Word/Excel inputs. Handles standardized formats and custom RFP shapes. |
| Compliance + audit | SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, multi-region data residency, role-based access control. Enterprise standard. | SOC 2 + ISO 27001 + GDPR + EU AI Act Article 50 readiness. Per-claim provenance chain (source URL, retrieval timestamp, model, prompt hash, confidence). |
| Pricing model | Quote-gated. Enterprise contracts typically $40K-$150K/yr depending on seat count and module mix. | Public pricing: free Foundation, then hubs from $150/seat/mo. RFX ships in the Competition hub ($250/seat/mo), à la carte or bundled into a plan. |
| Bundle breadth | RFX-focused. Integrations into CRM/CLM but the platform is the proposal-management workflow itself. | Five hubs on one graph · Competition (CI + RFX) + Explore + Customer + Product + Studio. |
| Best fit | Enterprise proposal teams (25-200+ seats) with mature RFP workflows in regulated verticals. | Operators (CI, RFX, sales enablement, product ops) who want one platform instead of four. Mid-market to enterprise. |
When to pick each
Two segments of the RFX market.
Pick Responsive when
- You're a large proposal team (25+ seats) with mature RFP workflows in financial services, healthcare, or federal.
- Deepest standardized-questionnaire format support (SIG, CAIQ, etc.) is non-negotiable.
- Multi-language proposal authoring is a regulatory requirement.
- Your team is fluent in Responsive's library structure and workflow primitives.
Pick PYRAMYD when
- You want RFX in the Competition hub — one of five hubs on the platform — not a $100K+/yr standalone contract.
- Per-claim provenance + Article 50 readiness matters in your procurement questionnaires.
- You'd rather buy just the Competition hub (which includes RFX) at $250/seat/mo than a six-figure standalone RFP platform.
- Your team also needs CI / Product Intelligence / Sales Enablement / Product Ops · the bundle wins on economics.
Bottom line
Responsive is the enterprise RFP standard. PYRAMYD wins where RFX is one of several workflows that should run on the same substrate.
For 25+ seat regulated-vertical proposal teams, Responsive's workflow depth wins. For mid-market operators who want RFX in the Competition hub alongside market, customer, and product hubs on one graph, PYRAMYD wins on economics + provenance.
