Proposify works well for sales teams at agencies and mid-size companies. If that's not you — if you're a cleaner, landscaper, or contractor sending proposals to homeowners and small businesses — it's probably too much tool at too high a price.
BidMaker is free to start: 3 proposals a month, no credit card. The Pro plan is $29/month flat — not $49/seat. And instead of filling out a template manually, you describe the job and the AI writes the proposal. Takes under 5 minutes.

Depends on what you need. If you have one person sending proposals and don't need CRM integrations or multi-person approval workflows, BidMaker works fine at a fraction of the cost. If you're managing proposals across a team of account executives, Proposify's workflow features are worth it.
Yes, on the Business plan ($59/month). The client can accept or decline a proposal directly from the shareable link — BidMaker records their IP and timestamp. On free and Pro plans, clients can still accept proposals; you just don't get the formal e-signature audit trail.
