Better Proposals vs ProposalAI

Better Proposals is a web service for preparing and sending proposals and other documents, with built-in electronic signatures, payment collection, and client activity tracking. Its analytics can show whether a document was received, opened, read, forwarded, downloaded, or signed, as well as time spent on individual sections. Users can take payments through documents and proposals, with integrations including Stripe, GoCardless, and PayPal. Advanced CRM integrations are available for HubSpot and Salesforce. The service supports custom branding and offers more than 260 free document templates. Teams can assign roles, manage access and permissions, track progress, and control who can send documents. Signatures are stated to comply with EU and US electronic signature legislation. Proposals are designed for phones and computers, and the service is accessible wherever there is an internet connection. Starter costs $13 per user per month when billed annually and allows one seat and 10 documents each month. There is no free plan; a 14-day trial requires no credit card or cancellation.

ProposalAI turns a pasted client brief and service description into a tailored project proposal for freelancers and agencies. Drafts can include scope, deliverables, timeline, pricing, and a call to action, and every section can be edited before sending. The maker says it supports design, development, marketing, consulting, and other work, with generation in 30 seconds. The free plan provides three proposal generations without a credit card and allows copying or exporting as text.
