Bidwell vs Loopio
Two great products. They are not built for the same customer.
Choose Bidwell if
You are a UK SMB bidding on public-sector contracts and the £400-£1,000+ per seat per month enterprise price tag is not a fit.
Choose Loopio if
You are an enterprise RFP team in North America, you have 10+ proposal writers, and you need full enterprise procurement, integrations and SSO.

Our honest take
Why we built Bidwell
Loopio is one of the best-known RFP response platforms in the world. It is well-built, well-funded and used by serious enterprise teams across North America.
It is also priced for those teams: typically several hundred dollars per seat per month, annual contracts, sales-led.
Bidwell is built for the other end of the market: UK SMBs bidding on public-sector contracts who would benefit from automation but cannot justify enterprise pricing or workflow complexity. £15 to £40 a month, self-serve, UK-focused, public-sector defaults.
If you are an enterprise team, Loopio is genuinely a strong choice. If you are an SMB or a UK public-sector specialist, the Loopio fit is poor and Bidwell is what you want.
Bidwell pricing
£15 to £40 / month
Bidwell is £15 to £40 a month. Even a Full Suite plan costs less per year than a single Loopio seat does per month.
Loopio pricing
Several hundred USD per seat per month (enterprise)
Loopio does not publish public pricing; industry reports place it in the enterprise range.
