Better Proposals - 2024 Pricing, Features, Reviews, & Alternatives

Better Proposals is a web based platform for creatives and service providing businesses to create professional, well-formatted sales proposals, with digital signatures, 3rd party integrations, and more. The solution allows users to know when proposals are opened, forwarded or downloaded in order to follow up appropriately, and at the right time. Clients can view and sign proposals online and make instant payments via Stripe, PayPal, and GoCardless.

With Better Proposals, organizations can choose a proposal and cover from the online marketplace, or design one with their own branding such as company colors, logo, specific fonts, domain, and more. When amending a template from the marketplace, users can remove and add any content they need, in order to showcase their work and brand in the best possible way. While adding images and other content, the ‘preview-as-you-go’ feature allows users to see exactly how clients will see the proposal. Proposals can be sent directly to clients via email, enabling them to simply type their name and click 'sign proposal' to complete a digital signature instantly.

The editor includes a variety of features to help users create professional proposals including automatic formatting with default spacing and sizing, meaning users can avoid worrying about spacing. Images can be inserted at full width, as part of the text, or neatly wrapped around text, as well as embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia to command more attention to proposals. 'Feature blocks' help liven up proposals through colored blocks with text, neatly breaking up the page. Users can also enter their products and pricing within simple pricing tables, which provide users with automated calculations.

Instant notifications and analytics inform users of when their proposal has been opened, as well as exactly how much time was spent per page on reading, and in what order. Users will also know which pages were printed, and each time a proposal was forwarded to a colleague. Additional functionality includes an HTML code editor for further proposal customization, auto-save, a content library, and a 'merge tags' feature in order to pull in client specific information, such as the company name, in order to reduce the chance of mistakes.
