## Frequently Asked Questions  
**Why did users choose 1up over SafeBase?**  
1up is built to **automate RFPs, questionnaires, and sales questions**, not just security reviews. SafeBase is a security-focused Trust Center tool, whereas 1up supports **broader revenue use cases** across Sales, Presales, Security, and IT—making it useful far beyond compliance workflows.

**How is 1up’s Answer Hub better than SafeBase’s Trust Center?**  
1up’s [**Answer Hub**](/content/trust-hub/index.html) is designed for **multiple use cases**, including security questions, sales enablement, RFPs, and customer FAQs. SafeBase’s Trust Center is optimized primarily for **security and compliance reviews**, which limits its effectiveness for sales-driven or revenue-facing workflows.

**Does 1up reduce setup time compared to SafeBase?**  
Yes. 1up is **fully self-service** and can be live in minutes by connecting documents, URLs, prior RFPs, and your website. SafeBase requires you to send content to their team to build your library, resulting in **days or weeks of setup** before teams can start responding.

**Can SafeBase automate questionnaires the way 1up does?**  
No. 1up **automates questionnaires end-to-end** in Excel, Word, PDF, and web portals with unlimited answer generation. SafeBase focuses on security reviews and charges extra for questionnaire generation, while still relying on a pre-built response library rather than true automation.
