ProposalWorkspace vs Steerlab

ProposalWorkspace is an AI-assisted proposal management platform for federal and state government contractors. It brings SAM.gov notices and covered state and local notices into a shared feed and scores them against a company profile. For a solicitation, it can extract requirements with page or section citations and produce a GO/NO-GO worksheet, compliance matrix, and submission checklist. The editor supports AI drafting, co-authoring with tracked changes, and proposal-volume exports. It can match team members to required positions using resume evidence and check resumes and commitment letters against solicitation requirements. Collaboration includes live calls with AI transcription, chat, tasks with reminder emails, presence indicators, and an activity timeline. Each plan includes a connector for remote MCP-compatible assistants and a Word, Excel, and PowerPoint panel with pre-flight checks, page limits, the Company Library, and built-in AI. Exports include DOCX, PDF, Excel matrices and checklists, and flattened PDFs with notes and highlights. Solo is $99 a month on annual billing, with two seats and 700 monthly AI credits.
