Responses can be shared as live web pages or exported to Excel, Word, or PDF. Analytics include customer viewing data and win rates. Ombud lists role-based access, SAML 2.0 SSO, encryption in transit, and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification. It runs on the web. Pricing is on request.

Proposify is a web app for sales teams to create, send, track, and close customized proposals. Its drag-and-drop editor handles text, images, video, tables, and shapes, and interactive quotes let buyers select optional fees or enter quantities. Document analytics show when recipients open a proposal and how long they spend in each section. Documents can be created without a plan limit, though monthly send allowances vary: Basic includes 10, Team 30, and Business 75. All plans allow legal e-signatures, and the service supports online payment collection, custom branding, and CRM integrations. Proposals are created and sent in the web app; an iOS companion app monitors proposal activity. A 14-day trial includes Team plan features. Basic costs $19/user/mo when billed annually, while Basic monthly costs $29/user/mo and Team quarterly costs $49/user/mo. The company states that proposals use encrypted links and 256-bit SSL security, and that it is GDPR compliant and SOC 2 Type 2 certified.
