Side by side
| On | Loopio | Keelbid |
|---|---|---|
| Who it is built for | Response teams in large companies answering RFPs, security questionnaires and DDQs; Loopio says 1,700+ brands use it. | Firms of 10 to 40 people bidding state, local, higher-education and federal work, one bid at a time. |
| What you get | Software your team uses to write: a library of past answers, search, workflow and project management, a team of your own writers. | The response, written. You send the RFP and your files; the draft comes back with every sentence tied to a file. |
| Content library | Yes, the core of the product: curated answers, reviewed on a schedule, reused across responses. | No library to maintain. Each response is written from your actual documents, and the citation is to the file, not to a stored answer. |
| Integrations | Yes: the tools large teams already use (CRM, document stores, chat), per Loopio's site. | None. Files reach the workspace only through its upload screen, by design; no connectors to Drive or OneDrive. |
| Reviewers | Assigned inside the platform; reviewers are users. | Free and unlimited. Experts answer one-minute questions from a link on their phone, no account. |
| Certifications | SOC 2 Type II. G2 rating 4.7. | None yet. The security page lists what we are and are not. |
| Data isolation | A shared platform with tenant separation; details on request. | One cell per client: own database, files, search index, key, sign-in and address. |
| Pricing | Tiers shown, prices on a sales call. A ten-seat minimum. | On the page: $399 review, from $1,500 per bid quoted in writing, $199 a month workspace coming. No seats. |
| How you buy | Book a demo. | In writing. No calls unless you ask for one. |
The honest answer
Choose them if. Choose Keelbid if.
Choose Loopio if
- You have a response team of ten or more people who answer many RFPs and questionnaires a month and want a library they own.
- Your buyer or your IT department requires SOC 2 from every vendor today.
- You need the response tool wired into your CRM and document systems.
Choose Keelbid if
- You bid a few times a quarter and want the response written, not a tool to write it with.
- You want every sentence tied to a real file, and the red ones shown rather than smoothed over.
- Your experts will answer a question from their phone but will not learn a platform.
- You want the price before the conversation, and no conversation unless you ask.
Loopio also publishes a yearly trends report; its 2024 edition put the average RFP win rate at 43 percent and said two thirds of teams got no new resources. Keelbid exists for the firms in that two thirds.
