Arphie vs RFP.ai

Arphie is a knowledge activation platform whose AI agents help go-to-market teams prepare RFP responses and questionnaire answers. Agents draft from a company knowledge base and connected sources, displaying the sources used and an AI confidence level. Smart Merge suggests combining duplicate answers, while agents can favor recently updated content and improve grammar and readability. Teams assign roles, comment on questions, and tag members. Arphie imports Excel and Word questionnaires, detects questions and sections with AI, and exports completed work to the original file. Integrations listed include Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence, Notion, Seismic, Highspot, Slack, Salesforce, Dropbox, Box, Egnyte, Vanta, Front, websites, and Arphie MCP. Arphie states that it encrypts data with TLS v1.2 in transit and AES256 at rest, and that customer data is not used to train models. Enterprise access includes SAML 2.0 or Google SSO. Pricing is available on request.

RFP.ai drafts answers to RFPs, due diligence questionnaires, and vendor assessments using approved source material. It extracts questions, produces cited answers with confidence scores, and sends uncertain responses to subject matter experts. Teams can track coverage, export responses, and fill detected answer fields in the source document. It accepts PDF, Word, Excel, and image files, including scanned documents processed with OCR. Exports include Word, PDF, Excel, CSV, and PowerPoint. Connections include Slack, Microsoft Teams, API access, Claude Desktop through MCP, and a Chrome extension for portals such as SAP Ariba, Coupa, Google Forms, and Microsoft Forms. It is available on the web, as an extension, and through an API. The Starter plan is €49 a month, or €40.83/mo billed annually; the Single RFP Pack is 39.00 EUR as a one-time payment. A 7-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. RFP.ai says customer content is not used to train AI models and core application storage is primarily hosted in the EU. It retains data for 30 days after account cancellation for export, and says it is not currently independently certified, including for ISO 27001.
