Better Proposals turns your sales-doc workflow into a tracked, signable, payable web page — built for agencies and consultancies who want a quote out the door in under an hour.
Proposals are web pages not PDFs — interactive, trackable, and mobile-friendly
Payment collection on proposal acceptance removes a follow-up step
Open tracking and section-time analytics inform follow-up timing
Low price point makes it accessible for solo freelancers and small agencies
Better Proposals is a UK-built proposal platform that ships every quote as a tracked web page with legally binding e-signatures and Stripe/PayPal payment built in. A quote closes faster when the prospect can read, sign and pay on the same screen. The product is opinionated — chapter templates, fixed brand themes, real-time read receipts — and that opinion is what makes it quick.
How it actually works
You pick a template from the 200+ library, drop in client and pricing, hit send. The recipient gets a branded link, not a PDF — you see when they open it, which sections they read and how long they spent on the price page. Signature blocks and credit-card capture sit at the bottom of the same page, closing the loop without a separate DocuSign or Stripe link. Integrations cover HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Zapier and around 40 native apps. Mobile rendering is the differentiator most teams underestimate — roughly 40% of proposal opens happen on a phone.
Pricing reality check
Public pricing: $19/user/month Starter (10 sends), $29/user Premium (unlimited sends + signatures + payments), $49/user Enterprise (SSO, custom domain). Annual billing trims roughly 20%. The NachoNacho route bundles it into the marketplace subscription stack. Caveat: the Starter cap of 10 sends is tight — Premium is the realistic floor for any active sales motion.

Better Proposals wins on speed and price; PandaDoc wins on workflow depth; Qwilr wins when the proposal needs to look like a marketing site. Most dev shops under 20 seats land here because time-to-first-send is the lowest.

What members say
“Sent my first proposal in 20 minutes — live link impressed the client”
“Professional proposals at a fraction of Proposify's cost”
“Accepts payment on signature — game changer for freelancers”
Is Better Proposals worth it for a one-person consultancy?
Yes — at $29/month for Premium, the read-receipts and sign-and-pay flow alone tend to recoup the cost on the first deal. Solo consultants benefit most from the speed: fewer DocuSign fees, no separate payment-link admin, and the analytics make follow-up timing obvious.
Better Proposals is faster to set up, cheaper at the entry tier and stronger on mobile rendering. PandaDoc has a deeper template library, richer CRM workflow integrations and proper enterprise approval flows. SMB agencies tend to pick Better Proposals; sales-led teams with ops-heavy processes pick PandaDoc.
Are the e-signatures legally binding?
Yes — Better Proposals signatures comply with the US ESIGN Act, UETA and EU eIDAS regulation. The audit trail captures IP, timestamp, email verification and full signing-event log. The same evidentiary standard most courts already accept for DocuSign and Adobe Sign.
Does it integrate with my CRM?
Native integrations with HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Capsule and Insightly handle two-way sync of deal status, contact data and won/lost outcomes. Anything outside that list works through Zapier or Make. Webhooks are available on Premium and above.
Can I accept payment in the proposal?
Yes — Stripe and PayPal connect natively and the payment block sits below the signature on the same page. Deposits, fixed-fee contracts and milestone payments all work. The captured payment lands in your Stripe/PayPal account directly; Better Proposals does not hold funds.
