Propelio vs ProposalGrid

Propelio is web-based proposal software for freelancers, independent studios, agencies, and other businesses pitching project work. Its editor offers 17 draggable content block types, while the template gallery lists 32 templates across 50 industries. Proposals can present packages or line items with optional add-ons, tax, and discounts; selected options are recorded with the client’s signature. Clients can open a proposal link and sign from any device without creating an account. The software tracks views, signatures, and declines and sends email notifications for key events. Teams can apply custom branding, reuse templates and sections, and assign role-based access across Owner, Admin, Editor, and Contributor roles. Links can be password-protected and given expiry dates; signed proposals receive a timestamped, sealed record. Client records hold contact details, notes, and proposal history, and approved proposals can be downloaded as PDFs. A 14-day free trial requires no credit card. One plan costs £15 a year (billed £180/year, or £15 per seat/month) with annual billing; monthly billing costs £20 a month per seat. Both list unlimited proposals and every feature included.

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.
