## Frequently Asked Questions

### Why did users choose 1up over Quilt?

1up is built to **automate RFPs, questionnaires, and sales questions end-to-end**, while Quilt focuses on managing RFP responses. 1up removes manual work entirely, whereas Quilt still requires significant setup, mapping, and oversight to generate answers.

### Does Quilt offer a customer-facing Answer Hub like 1up?

No. **Quilt does not provide a customer-facing Answer Hub or Trust Center.** 1up’s **Answer Hub (Trust Hub)** lets Sales, Security, and IT teams share answers externally to handle security questions, FAQs, and repeat requests - reducing inbound questionnaires before they even start.

### How does knowledge base setup differ between 1up and Quilt?

1up automatically ingests **documents, URLs, past RFPs, and your website** and keeps knowledge continuously up to date. Quilt requires users to **manually highlight Q&A during import**, cannot automatically crawl URLs, and relies on slower, approval-based updates - adding friction and maintenance overhead.

### Which tool is faster for completing questionnaires at scale?

1up completes large questionnaires in **minutes**, automatically handling Excel, Word, PDF, and web portals. Quilt requires **complex column mapping and document setup** before answers can be generated, turning what should be minutes into hours or days.
