RocketDocs
RFP and DDQ management with private AI
What is RocketDocs?
RocketDocs is a cloud-based response management platform for RFPs, DDQs, security questionnaires, and proposal workflows. It combines a governed content library, document parsing, workflow routing, Office-native review, and private AI drafting for teams that need faster, more controlled responses, especially in regulated and enterprise environments. Originally founded as Proposal Software in 1994.
How to evaluate this tool
For RocketDocs, focus on approved content reuse, Microsoft-based authoring, and auditable review. Regulated teams should test how generated text is distinguished from previously approved answers.
Check during a demo: Use a multi-tab Excel DDQ and a Word proposal. Follow an answer from the library through AI drafting, SME approval, and export, then confirm the required modules and implementation scope.

Overview
RocketDocs is a private-AI response-management platform for RFPs, RFIs, DDQs, security questionnaires, and proposal generation in regulated industries. Founded in 1994 as PMAPS Proposal Software, it combines a governed knowledge base, multi-layer AI, Microsoft-native authoring, workflow approvals, auditability, and enterprise integrations.
Key Features
- Three-layer drafting: Runs exact-match autofill first, then nearest-neighbor matching, then Astro private generative AI for remaining questions.
- Private AI: Astro runs inside RocketDocs' environment, uses approved customer knowledge, does not send data to public model providers, and flags generated text for human review.
- LaunchPad: Brings library search, autofill, assignments, and format-preserving work into Word and Excel, including multi-tab spreadsheets.
- RapidDocs: Uses logic-driven templates to assemble personalized Word, PowerPoint, or PDF proposals.
- RocketVault: Pro and Enterprise add browser-extension support for web questionnaires and portals.
- Governed library: Maintains reusable answers, attributes, tags, review cycles, permissions, and version history.
- Workflow and approvals: Supports role and group assignments, configurable gates, bulk SME routing, and immutable audit history.
- Implementation: The standard public implementation target is four weeks, with longer scope possible for complex deployments.
Integrations
RocketDocs lists Microsoft Word, Excel, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Salesforce, Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, SAML, SCIM, and an Open API. Public API documentation was not found.
Security & Compliance
Current first-party pages explicitly state SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification, AES-256 encryption at rest, granular permissions, immutable audit trails, SSO, and SCIM. RocketDocs says both US and EU data residency are supported. The older TLS 1.2 PDF was not used as current proof of transport encryption because the present security pages do not publish that specification.
Pricing
Plans start at $18,500 per year and are custom-fit by deployment rather than sold per seat. Starter typically covers 5–10 core users plus unlimited SMEs; Pro typically covers 10–30 core users plus unlimited SMEs and adds RapidDocs, RocketVault, premium support, and additional capabilities; Enterprise is for 30+ core users and complex global or multi-affiliate deployments. RocketDocs does not offer a generic free trial, but it can scope a structured evaluation for qualified opportunities.
Best For
RocketDocs is best suited to mid-market and enterprise teams in financial services, healthcare, life sciences, insurance, banking, asset management, and enterprise technology that need private AI, governed content, Microsoft-native workflows, and formal compliance controls.
Considerations
The published $18,500 annual figure is a starting minimum, not a complete self-serve price. Final price depends on users, content volume, modules, and deployment. There is no generic trial or public API documentation, and advanced configuration can require a longer learning and implementation curve.

Published minimum is $18,500/year. Final pricing is custom and based on team size, content volume, modules, and deployment. No generic free trial; qualified opportunities can receive a structured evaluation with agreed success criteria.
