Create My Proposal vs VisibleThread

Create My Proposal is a web app for service businesses preparing branded proposals, pricing tables, schedules, scope documents, and client approval links. Users can begin with a reusable template or start from scratch, then share a branded link by email or WhatsApp. Clients can review and approve proposals through a public link without an account, and built-in e-signatures collect approval. Activity tracking shows views, comments, and approvals with timestamps. Pricing tables support quantities, discounts, tax, deposits, and recurring or one-time charges; visual schedules can show milestones and payment triggers. Templates include architecture, consulting, retainer, and tourism proposal types. AI assistance can generate executive summaries, scope, and follow-up emails. Each proposal can use its own currency and be in English, Spanish, or both. The free plan costs nothing and allows 3 proposals per month. Pro is listed at $29 a month for unlimited proposals; Business is listed at $79 a month and includes team members, advanced analytics, saved terms, premium templates, and priority support. The pricing page says Pro and Business are coming soon, with billing details still being finalized.

VisibleThread is a proposal and contract intelligence platform for teams handling complex, high-stakes documents. It combines repeatable deterministic analysis with generative AI that uses enterprise-approved content and cites sources. The platform supports work from opportunity identification and bid/no-bid analysis through proposal production and contract management. Teams can search and track opportunities from SAM.gov, GSA eBuy, and UK Find a Tender, and connect SharePoint libraries for approved content used in analysis and AI grounding. Deployment options include customer-hosted on-premises or private cloud, single-tenant US GovCloud, and multi-tenant public cloud. On-premises installations run on Windows or Red Hat and support air-gapped environments. VisibleThread offers PDF and Office file comparison and redline output. Its security credentials include SOC 2, CMMC, NIST, FIPS, GDPR, and FedRAMP. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, the company says it has served government contractors since then.
