PYRAMYD vs Responsive
Responsive is built for the response team. PYRAMYD answers each RFP from your product's data.
Responsive (formerly RFPIO) is response-management software for RFPs, security questionnaires, and DDQs, with AI agents for intake, drafting, and go/no-go, and an Emerging edition from $10,000. PYRAMYD runs RFPs in the Accounts hub's Opportunities module — one of five hubs (Workspace, Markets, Products, Competitors, Accounts) — where APEX drafts each answer from your product's data in the graph, with public per-seat pricing.
