Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as an "AI generation" on the Starter plan?
Each time you click "Generate with AI" on a proposal section or request an AI-generated summary or analytics report, it uses one generation from your monthly allowance of 25. Editing, saving, or viewing existing content does not count. The 25/month limit covers teams responding to approximately 5-8 RFPs per month (3-4 AI generations per RFP). Need more? Upgrade to Enterprise for unlimited generations.
Do I need SilverLot CRM to use SilverLot RFP?
No — SilverLot RFP is a completely standalone product. You can track RFPs, write proposals with AI, and manage your pipeline without the CRM. However, when used together, won RFPs automatically sync to your CRM pipeline, agency contacts import to your contact list, and your team works from one unified platform. Bundle pricing is available — contact us for details.
Why is SilverLot RFP so much cheaper than Loopio or Responsive?
Loopio and Responsive are built for large enterprise teams with dedicated proposal operations — their minimum contracts start at $20,000/year and often run $50,000-$140,000/year. SilverLot RFP is purpose-built for healthcare, biotech, and government contractor teams who need professional RFP management without the enterprise overhead. You get AI-agnostic proposal writing, SAM.gov integration, and CRM sync at a fraction of the cost — no six-figure contract required.
Which AI providers does SilverLot RFP support?
SilverLot RFP is AI-agnostic — you can use Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Google Gemini, Groq (free), or Microsoft Copilot. You can also use the BenchLab Shared proxy, which uses Claude via BenchLab's API key at no additional cost. Switch providers any time from your settings. No other RFP platform offers this flexibility.
Can I import RFPs from SAM.gov automatically?
Yes — SilverLot RFP connects to SAM.gov and can search for active government contract opportunities by keyword, NAICS code, agency, and location directly inside the platform. Enterprise plans include automatic RFP import based on your saved search criteria.
How long does setup take?
Starter plan users are typically set up the same day — sign up, connect your AI provider, and start tracking RFPs immediately. Enterprise plan setup takes 1-2 weeks and includes onboarding, training, CRM integration, and any custom configuration your team needs.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — the Starter plan is month-to-month and can be cancelled anytime. Enterprise plans are annual contracts with 30 days notice required for cancellation. You always own your RFP data and can export the full library in CSV format at any time.
