Alternative to Ignition

Proposals

When it comes to creating proposals, you want the process to be as fast as possible. That's why you'll want template options when you're looking for proposal software. Luckily, Better Proposals gives you access to more than 250 templates that you can easily customize. And if you're as big on customization as we are, you can create a custom domain to send your proposals from. You also get proposal analytics which let you know when your proposal was received, opened, read, printed, forwarded and signed. In addition to that, your clients will instantly know that the proposal is coming directly from you.

With Ignition, you do get access to proposal templates, but you have only 25 options. So, if none of the designs they offer work for your business, you'll end up doing everything from scratch. Another downside to Ignition when it comes to sending proposals is the fact that you can't set up your own domain. And while it may not seem like a big deal at first, just think about all the time you'll spend explaining the proposals coming from an outside domain.

Pricing

Just a glimpse at the pricing tables will tell you that we use different pricing systems right off the bat. And even though Better Proposals has a user-based system, as opposed to Ignition's client-based one, the difference in affordability is obvious. Better Proposals' highest plan starting at $49 is still more affordable than Ignition's lowest at $149.

Another important thing to note is that, with Better Proposals, an annual subscription pays off more. While with Ignition you can save up to 16%, with Better Proposals you save up to 35%.

Conclusion

While Ignition is a powerful platform, it seems more geared towards accounting firms. So, if you're looking for proposal software that can take care of everyone, no matter the size or industry, Better Proposals is the way to go.
