Compare · Proposal and quote software

Qwilr makes a web page. The scoping still happens in your head.

Qwilr's insight was right and early: a proposal should be a web page, not a PDF attachment. Interactive quote blocks, video, analytics on what the buyer looked at. DocuDeal produces rich pages too, from the same brief as the document, and does the writing and the pricing that come before the page exists.

The difference that is not a feature

Proposal tools do one of these three. This does all of them.

Proposal software assembles a document from a library you maintain, which is faster than a blank page and is still you doing the work. It also stops at the send. DocuDeal writes the document from what you already have, reads the signed copy back into fields, and summarises across everything a client has received.

Writes
01

It writes every document

Proposal, quote, contract, NDA or statement of work, from the call transcript, the notes and the attachments you already have. No template built first, no tidying up before it goes in. Scope, assumptions, terms, the priced table, recipients with signing order and the signature fields, all in one pass.

Reads
02

It reads every signed one back

The moment a document completes, the terms come out as fields: parties, effective and end dates, renewal date, whether it auto-renews, notice period, value, governing law and each side's obligations. A signed agreement stops being a PDF nobody opens and becomes a row you can filter.

Summarises across
03

It summarises across them

Everything you have ever sent one client sits on one link, with a written status note across all of it: what is signed, what is waiting on whom, what happens next. Across the whole repository you can see what renews in January, what carries a notice period shorter than sixty days, and what you actually committed to on the deal a colleague closed last year.

One tool for every document, not just the proposal, and priced per workspace rather than per seat from Pro. The template library stops being something somebody has to own.

First, the fair version

What Qwilr is good at.

Qwilr pages look better than almost anything else a small team can produce, the buyer experience is genuinely modern, and the analytics on what a prospect actually read are useful rather than decorative.

Where it stops

Four things that are still yours to do.

01

Per user to start, a jump to get off it

The entry plan is $35 per user per month, and the published plans above it start at $275 a month. Growing out of per-user pricing means a step, not a slope. DocuDeal is $149 a month on Pro for the whole workspace, unlimited users, no step to plan for.

02

The page is the output, not the input

Qwilr is where you assemble a page. What goes on it, in what order, at what price, is your judgement applied to a blank block. DocuDeal starts from the call: hand over the transcript and the notes and get back the sections, the terms and the priced table, then publish it as a page if a page is what suits.

03

Prices from blocks, not from a catalog with your cost in it

Quote blocks are good at letting a buyer pick options. DocuDeal's catalog carries cost alongside price, so it knows what a discount does to your margin and not just to the total, and an approval rule can act on that before the page goes out.

04

Accepted is not the end

A page is accepted and the deal moves on. The obligations inside it, the renewal, the notice period, the value, are still only readable by a person opening it. DocuDeal reads them into fields and warns you before the renewal.

The two other differences
01

The library stops being somebody's job

Proposal tools are only as current as the last person to update the content library, and the drift is invisible until a client is quoted last year's rate. Here the document is written from what the deal actually is, so there is nothing to keep current except your price list.

02

Seats stop being the meter

Every proposal tool on this page bills per seat, so the bill grows with the team. DocuDeal Pro is $149 a month for the whole workspace with unlimited users, $449 on Business. A team of two and a team of twenty pay the same. Free and Starter are single-seat.

Questions people actually ask

Straight answers.

Does DocuDeal make interactive pages like Qwilr?

Yes. The same brief becomes a designed web page instead of a document: cover, contents, timeline, pricing cards, next steps. You revise it in plain words or open the code view. The difference is that the writing and the pricing happen before the page does.

How is Qwilr priced?

The published entry plan is $35 USD per user per month, and the plans above it are $275 and $750 USD per month with seats included. So growing out of per-user pricing is a step rather than a slope.

Which is better for buyer experience?

Qwilr, if you put the hours in. Its pages are about as good as a small team can produce and the analytics are genuinely useful. Ours are good and take no time, because they come out of the same brief as the document.

What happens after a Qwilr page is accepted?

It becomes a record. The obligations, renewal date, notice period and value are readable by a person opening it. DocuDeal reads those into fields and warns you before the renewal.

The verdict

Qwilr if the buying experience is your differentiator and you have time to make each page good. DocuDeal if you want a page that is already right when the call ends.

When to pick them instead

We are not right for everyone.

Pick Qwilr if the buying experience is your differentiator, your proposals are a marketing surface as much as a commercial one, and you have the time to make each page good.

Call ends. Proposal sent. In seconds.
