Responsive review
A broad enterprise response suite, but the $10,000 annual starting price limits its value for smaller teams.

Responsive is proposal management and strategic response software for bid, sales, compliance, and proposal teams. It supports proposals, RFPs, RFIs, DDQs, security questionnaires, and other information requests through AI-assisted drafting, reusable Q&A content, branded templates, collaboration workflows, approvals, analytics, digital signatures, and secure recipient portals. Its positioning and feature set make it a fit for large organizations that need proposal portals, signatures, CRM synchronization, and structured response operations across multiple teams.
Pricing is organized into three editions. Emerging Edition starts at $10,000 per year with unlimited response projects, AI and automation, unlimited content and collaboration, integrations, access control, administration, reporting, and support. Growth Edition includes those capabilities plus Intake Request, LookUp and eSignature, advanced integrations, advanced access controls, and premium deployment and support. Enterprise Edition adds flexible custom AI, enterprise security and controls, advanced reporting, and premium connectors. The published pricing model is contact sales, and the annual platform amount includes user licenses and add-ons, making the entry commitment a significant consideration for budget-sensitive buyers.
Responsive’s strongest differentiator is its connected workflow: teams can draft from approved content, manage reviews and assignments, share proposals through a secure external portal, collect signatures, and track engagement. Integrations include HubSpot, CRM connectors, cloud storage, collaboration, sales enablement, API connectivity, and MCP Server connectivity. CRM project creation and status synchronization can help align proposal work with revenue operations. Organizations needing a narrower, lower-cost response tool may find this scope excessive; larger teams with complex proposal processes and portal or signature requirements are the clearer fit.
