Inventive AI publishes a starting price and a billing model. Its
[pricing page](https://www.inventive.ai/inventive-ai-pricing) says plans start at $10,000
per year. A fixed platform fee covers setup and access, then usage charges scale with RFP and
security-questionnaire volume. Unlimited users are included, and unused credits roll over.

The missing number is the per-project rate. Inventive's published volumes are customer-specific.
[MaxVal](https://www.inventive.ai/case-studies/best-rfp-software--90-faster-rfps-0-weekend-hours-lost)
puts the load at 10-15+ RFPs and security questionnaires a quarter.
[AssetWorks](https://www.inventive.ai/case-studies/how-assetworks-facilities-achieved-422-roi-on-rfp-automation-with-inventive-ai)
says the team completes about 30 RFPs a year. A dedicated bid, proposal, or larger SE team
has to model its own queue against that usage-based quote.

Inventive is a writing tool. AutoRFP.ai is the platform.

## **How Much Does Inventive AI Cost?**

Inventive AI starts at $10,000 per year, but that number is not a full rate card.

| **Aspect**       | **Published position as of August 17, 2026**  |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Starting price   | Plans start at $10,000/year                   |
| Billing model    | Fixed platform fee plus usage charges         |
| Usage unit       | RFP and security-questionnaire volume         |
| Users            | Unlimited                                     |
| Unused credits   | Roll into later months and the following year |
| Per-project rate | Not published                                 |
| Checkout         | Sales-led custom quote                        |

That commercial shape can fit an occasional questionnaire workload. A response leader with a
live queue still needs the per-project unit, the annual volume assumptions, and the overage
terms before finance can forecast the year.

## **What Inventive AI Includes**

Inventive packages connected-source response generation, project work, and content controls
inside the platform fee and usage model.

### **1. Connected Response Generation**

Inventive connects organizational knowledge and uses it to generate questionnaire responses.
The platform supports uploaded documents and connected sources.

Inventive's homepage describes the output as "95% Accurate AI Responses &
Zero&nbsp;Hallucinations." A 95% accuracy claim implies about 5% inaccuracy. AutoRFP.ai uses zero
hallucination by design: approved content only, a visible Trust Score and source, and No
Search Results at zero trust when evidence is missing.

</BlogFigure>

### **2. Unified Knowledge Hub**

The knowledge hub brings together previous questionnaires, documents, and sources such as
Google Drive, SharePoint, and Confluence.

### **3. AI Content Manager**

Inventive says its content manager detects stale, duplicate, and conflicting information.
Its [features page](https://www.inventive.ai/features) still labels the self-updating
knowledge base Beta as of August 17, 2026.

### **4. Strategic Agents**

Inventive includes agents for research, response refinement, and other questionnaire tasks.

### **5. Conflict Detection**

Inventive flags contradictions across connected material for review.

Connected sources keep the response workflow close to current company information.

## **The Buyer Cut Behind The Price**

Inventive's published customer examples name two volumes, not a typical range. MaxVal is
10-15+ RFPs and security questionnaires per quarter. AssetWorks is roughly 30 RFPs per year.
For buyers in that band, unlimited users and rolling credits can make sense.

A bid manager, proposal team, or larger SE team buys for a different job. Work is arriving
through Salesforce while other projects are being reviewed. Contributors owe answers across
deadlines. The issuer expects its Excel, Word, or portal format back. The response leader
needs to report automation rate, workload, ROI, and recurring gaps.

That is the difference the annual price has to cover.

## **AutoRFP.ai Pricing For A Dedicated Response Team**

[AutoRFP.ai publishes](/pricing) three plans, paid yearly with unlimited users:

| **Plan**   | **Price**    | **Annual workload**                       |
| ---------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| Scale      | $899/month   | 24 projects per year                      |
| Accelerate | $1,299/month | 50 projects per year                      |
| Enterprise | Custom       | Scalable project volume and bespoke terms |

All plans include AI, content, features, SSO, integrations, support, and training. The
project allowance changes by plan. A bid lead can map the expected queue to the public rate
before starting procurement.

## **What The AutoRFP.ai Price Runs**

AutoRFP.ai connects the operating steps around the response, not only the generated answer.

### **Salesforce Intake, Approvals, Slack, And Teams**

Work can start from Salesforce. The platform keeps task ownership, review decisions, and
project history together. SME requests reach contributors through Slack and Microsoft Teams
without creating another source of truth.

<SnapshotGrid
  items={[
    {
      slug: 'salesforce-intake',
      title: 'Intake starts on the opportunity',
      body: 'Salesforce can open the response project without a second system of record.',
    },
    {
      slug: 'teams-review',
      title: 'Review requests stay attached',
      body: 'Slack and Teams carry the ask. The approval is written back to the project.',
    },
  ]}
/>

### **Original-File And Portal Return**

AutoRFP.ai writes responses back into the Excel or Word file the issuer supplied, preserving
nested sheets, formulas, macros, and validation lists. The Portal Agent covers questionnaires
that arrive through procurement and security portals.

<SnapshotGrid
  items={[
    {
      slug: 'excel-questionnaire',
      title: 'Write back into the issuer workbook',
      body: 'Nested sheets, formulas, macros, and validation lists stay in place.',
    },
    {
      slug: 'portal-autofill',
      title: 'Portal Agent fills the live form',
      body: 'Procurement and security portals do not need a retyped copy.',
    },
  ]}
/>

### **Connected Content**

Approved responses, past projects, and connected sources stay available to the same response
engine. Permissions govern what each person and retrieval workflow can see.

<SnapshotGrid
  items={[
    {
      slug: 'connect-your-content',
      title: 'Approved sources stay connected',
      body: 'SharePoint, Drive, Confluence, and the rest feed the same response engine.',
    },
    {
      slug: 'grounded-citations',
      title: 'Each draft points at its source',
      body: 'Permissions still govern what retrieval can see.',
    },
  ]}
/>

### **Reporting, ROI, And Gap Analysis**

AutoRFP.ai reports automation rate, project performance, and team capacity. Management
dashboards cover projected savings and repeated requirement shortfalls. Buyers can inspect
the assumptions used for the savings estimate, then schedule the result for leadership.

On Inventive's [G2 listing](https://www.g2.com/products/inventive-ai/reviews), the cons tags
as of August 17, 2026 include 22 for Insufficient Analytics, 18 for Poor Reporting, and 4
for Access Management.

<SnapshotGrid
  items={[
    {
      slug: 'automation-roi',
      title: 'Automation rate from the answer history',
      body: 'Projected savings sit next to the assumptions used to calculate them.',
    },
    {
      slug: 'gap-patterns',
      title: 'Repeated shortfalls stay visible',
      body: 'Requirement gaps can be scheduled into a leadership report.',
    },
  ]}
/>

<BlogCta id="Proposal Win Rate Report" />

### **Project Agent And MCP**

The Project Agent works across selected responses, proposes edits for approval, and creates
project documents. AutoRFP.ai's MCP server makes the same governed response knowledge
available in Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Gemini.

<SnapshotGrid
  items={[
    {
      slug: 'mcp-sourced-answer',
      title: 'The same library in Claude and Copilot',
      body: 'MCP serves governed response knowledge into the assistants the team already uses.',
    },
  ]}
/>

## **Security And Access**

Security is part of the response team's work because the platform itself must pass InfoSec.

### **Fintech, Healthtech, And DDQ Work**

[FintechOS](/customer-stories/how-fintechos-achieved-60-efficiency-gains-with-ai-rfp-automation)
reports a 60% reduction in response time.
[Cubiko](/customer-stories/how-cubiko-slashed-security-questionnaire-response-time-by-85-with-ai-rfp-software)
reports an 85% healthtech turnaround reduction, from seven days to sixty minutes.
[MedeAnalytics](/customer-stories/medeanalytics-transforms-healthcare-rfp-chaos-into-streamlined-success-with-rfp-software)
handled a questionnaire with more than 1,000 questions and automated 75% of the answers.
[ILPA](/blog/ilpa-ddq) and [AIMA](/blog/aima-ddq) DDQs add the same requirement: preserve
the original Excel workbook and keep an unsupported control unanswered until evidence
exists.

Implementation support comes from AutoRFP.ai teams in Brisbane, New York, Stockholm, and
Vancouver. The customer base reaches from Silicon Valley to Wall Street, including a
top-three global fintech, multiple top-twenty private equity funds, and Fortune 500 response
functions.

## **Does Inventive AI Pricing Fit Your Budget?**

Inventive's commercial model suits occasional questionnaire work that remains part of
someone else's role. Its $10,000 annual starting point, usage charges, unlimited users, and
rolling credits follow that volume.

AutoRFP.ai pricing is designed for a named bid, proposal, or SE owner with active work in
flight. The public plan covers connected intake, approvals, collaboration, exact-format
submission, content, MCP, reporting, and enterprise security across the response year.
