Frequently Asked Questions

Why do customers choose 1up over AutoRFP?

1up is built to automate RFPs, questionnaires, and sales questions end-to-end, while AutoRFP focuses on managing an RFP response library. 1up removes manual setup and project overhead so teams can respond faster with far less effort.

How does setup and ease of use compare between 1up and AutoRFP?

1up is fully self-service and can be live in minutes by connecting documents, URLs, past RFPs, and your website. AutoRFP requires sales-assisted setup, manual Q&A highlighting, and complex configuration before teams can generate answers.

Can AutoRFP automate questionnaires the way 1up does?

Not really. 1up automates questionnaires in Excel, Word, PDF, and web portals with minimal setup. AutoRFP requires column mapping, highlighting, and manual prep before answers are generated, which slows teams down as volume increases.

Does AutoRFP offer a customer-facing Answer Hub like 1up?

No. AutoRFP does not provide a customer-facing Answer Hub or Trust Center. 1up’s Answer Hub allows Sales, Security, and IT teams to share approved answers externally—reducing repeat RFPs, security questionnaires, and one-off follow-ups.
