Better Proposals

What Better Proposals is

Better Proposals is a web service for preparing and sending proposals and other documents, collecting electronic signatures, and accepting payments online. Its built-in signatures comply with EU and US electronic signature legislation. Payment integrations include Stripe, GoCardless, and PayPal, while advanced CRM integrations include HubSpot and Salesforce. Client activity analytics can show whether a document was received, opened, read, forwarded, downloaded, or signed, along with time spent on each section. Users can add custom branding, manage team roles and permissions, control sending, and choose from more than 260 free document templates. Proposals are designed to work on phones and computers, and the service is accessible wherever there is an internet connection. Better Proposals has no free plan, but its 14-day trial requires no credit card or cancellation. Starter costs $13 a month billed annually and includes one maximum user seat and 10 documents monthly. Premium costs $21 a month billed annually, with unlimited maximum user seats and 50 documents monthly. Enterprise costs $42 a month billed annually, with unlimited seats and documents. Support is available 24 hours daily, including weekends, and the company reports an average two-minute response.

Who it suits

Better Proposals suits freelancers and businesses that prepare client proposals, need electronic signatures, or want to collect payment through documents. Teams can use its roles, permissions, sending controls, and activity analytics to coordinate proposal work.

Limits

There is no free plan. Starter costs $13 a month billed annually and allows one maximum user seat and 10 documents per month; the trial lasts 14 days.

Getting started

1. Visit the Better Proposals website and start the 14-day trial, which requires no credit card or cancellation.
2. Choose a paid plan if you want to continue beyond the trial.
3. Select a template from the more than 260 free document templates, or prepare a document with custom branding.
4. Connect payment integrations such as Stripe, GoCardless, or PayPal if you want to collect payments in proposals.
5. Use the web service from a device with an internet connection.

Verdict

Choose Better Proposals if you need a web service for branded proposals, signatures, client activity tracking, and online payment collection. Starter is constrained to one seat and 10 monthly documents, so teams needing more capacity can consider Premium or Enterprise; buyers seeking a free plan should look elsewhere.
