2026 Inventive AI Pricing Guide: Plans, & Features Breakdown

Inventive AI publishes a starting price and a billing model. Its pricing page 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 puts the load at 10-15+ RFPs and security questionnaires a quarter. AssetWorks 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.

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 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.

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 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 three plans, paid yearly with unlimited users:

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.

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.

Hey, I'm Rob from autoRFP.ai. What is autoRFP.ai? Well, autoRFP.ai is an AI software as a service or SaaS application that does AI for proposal or RFP responses. That includes RFIs, like request for informations, includes due diligence questionnaires or DDQs, and includes security questionnaires. So, you can find all about us at autoRFP.ai. So, we're a technology company. We have offices all across the globe including Brisbane, Australia, Vancouver as well. And effectively, our tool allows, whether it be bid managers, sales people, proposal writers, RevOps team members, sales leadership, answer complicated request for proposals. So, what is a request for proposal? You can see one of our other videos below in the description. But effectively, our system

looks something like this. And it lets team members, and you can have unlimited number of people log in to autoRFP.ai, good product, allows people to go in, create projects, which would be for instance an RFP. I can go in here, create my information from my zip file, and that includes, you know, like an Excel spreadsheet, PDF, Word doc. We can run an AI go no go project analysis on the RFP. And then effectively from that, we can bring in all the information in terms of what are the questions, where our AI automatically scans the documents and figures out what is being asked of the RFP, whether it's multiple tabs in an Excel spreadsheet and everything else, whether it's drop-downs. And that all happens automatically through the power of AI. Then, we generate our response, and we can do it in in 40 plus different languages and adding languages all the time. Once you've imported your RFP into order rfp.ai,

you can collaborate with your team members assigning different people to answer the questions, review the questions, looking at an overview of the entire project and project managing due dates. Now AI effectively starts automatically answering those different questions based on your knowledge documentation. So that might be your website, your help docs, your technical documentation, your past RFP answers or security questionnaires, your security policies. But effectively all that different company information you import into order RFP and then our AI leverages that to create an AI first draft of an RFP response. Once we're happy with all those requests, we can approve it. That goes into the model to learn from and add to. So your current responses are automatically used for new responses and then you can export that as well. And then the final cool thing about order RFP is you have a lot of different

integrations that you can pull in, whether it's knowledge documentation from places like Notion, Google Drive and so on. So that's order RFP. We're an AI SaaS app. Uh you can host globally. We do not use customer data for training purposes or to send it back to LLMs. So we're secure and private. We have our ISO 2701 certificate and our SOC 2 certificate and then you can find up-to-date pricing and information on our website. Or if you came to learn more, you can book a demo and schedule time with our team. Thanks.

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 reports a 60% reduction in response time. Cubiko reports an 85% healthtech turnaround reduction, from seven days to sixty minutes. MedeAnalytics handled a questionnaire with more than 1,000 questions and automated 75% of the answers. ILPA and AIMA 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.
