Better Proposals vs ProposalGrid

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.

ProposalGrid creates AI-assisted proposals and quotes, shares them as branded links, tracks client decisions and turns accepted work into print-ready invoices. Its AI can draft a proposal from a website or job description, including scope, deliverables, timeline and pricing; users can edit or regenerate individual blocks. A block editor supports headings, rich text, images and tables, and recalculates line items, quantities and totals automatically. Contacts can be imported from HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, Salesforce, Excel or CSV exports. Each stakeholder can receive an individual link to a live branded proposal, with view tracking. Clients can accept online or request changes, and signatures may be typed or hand-drawn, with consent, timestamped audit trails, IP logging and tamper-evident content hashes. Optional reminders can follow up on undecided proposals or warn before expiration. Accepted proposals can become branded invoices, including on the free plan. The browser-based service supports client-facing materials in English or Lithuanian. Free allows five active documents and two AI drafts monthly; Pro costs €19 a month.
