Expedience Software vs Fresh Proposals

Expedience Software automates proposals, statements of work, and RFP responses inside Microsoft Word. A centralized library stores approved content that teams can search while answering RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires. Microsoft Copilot integration supports drafting with that material. Excel Connect imports Excel RFPs into Word, checks answer constraints, and exports responses back to spreadsheets. The workflow supports Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Outlook. Proposal Manager lets teams tag requirements, assign owners, track completion, and support bid/no-bid decisions. Subject matter experts and reviewers can collaborate and co-author without an Expedience license. The company says the software runs behind the customer’s firewall and does not upload proposal content to outside servers. Expedience identifies proposal and capture teams, bid managers, government contractors, professional services firms, and enterprise sales organizations as users. It runs on web and Windows, offers CRM integrations and custom branding, and is priced on request.

Fresh Proposals is web software for creating proposals, engagement letters, contracts, and quotes that can be tracked, electronically signed, and paid online. Its drag-and-drop editor supports text, images, fee tables, signatures, input forms, and reusable content. Interactive quotations let clients select fees or packages and change quantities; tiered pricing is also available. Analytics cover proposal cycle length, sales funnel, outstanding proposals, and engagement with proposal sections. Listed native integrations include HubSpot, QuickBooks, Xero, CPACharge, and LawPay, with access to more than 6,000 apps through Zapier. A REST API and signed webhooks are available on request for enterprise accounts. The service requires an internet connection and compatible browser, and recommends Chrome. The 14-day trial allows up to three active proposals. Starter costs $20 a month billed annually for 10 active proposals; Professional costs $40 a month billed annually for 30; Business costs $65 a month billed annually for unlimited active proposals.
