Alternative to QuoteWerks

Proposals

While QuoteWerks lets you create a product database, it doesn't save you much time when it comes to the proposal design. Yes, you can have proposal templates, but only if you create them from scratch first. And once you create your proposal, you won't be able to get it digitally signed unless you get another product. But we'll get to that in more detail in the pricing section.

With Better Proposals, on the other hand, you have access to more than 200 pre-written and beautifully designed templates. What's more, they're completely customizable, which allows you to make every template your own. In addition to that, you'll be able to integrate live chat software, which lets you get instant feedback from your clients. Ultimately, this feature will save you even more time because it eliminates the need to email back and forth.

Pricing

Better Proposals has a transparent pricing system based on three plans starting at $19/month. And while it may seem that QuoteWerks is the more affordable option with its lowest plan starting at $15/month, there's a catch. If you want to deliver your proposals digitally through QuoteWerks, you'll need to get QuoteValet, which is a separate product. QuoteValet includes digital signatures and billing, but it starts at $42/month. With the initial QuoteWerks subscription, the costs can get pretty steep depending on the size of your team.

Unlike QuoteWerks, Better Proposals doesn't make you pay for a separate product if you want to get your proposals signed. Our digital signature feature is available on all plans - and so are our payment integrations. To make sure you can get paid from virtually anywhere around the world, we support PayPal, Stripe, and GoCardless.

With QuoteWerks, getting a hang of all the features won't be as simple as it is with Better Proposals. As it usually goes with robust software, there's a higher learning curve that often includes staff training. At the end of the day, you'll end up spending more resources if your employees aren't familiar with proposal software from before. In addition to that, getting through to support will largely depend on the time zone you're in. That's because QuoteWerks offers nine-to-five phone support - in Eastern Standard Time. And if that wasn't hard enough, they don't allow just anyone from your team to call them. Instead, you're required to have a representative who will relay all your team's questions.

Conclusion

The choice between QuoteWerks and Better Proposals will ultimately depend on what kind of business you run. And while QuoteWerks isn't strictly marketed to huge corporations, its interface does have that general feel. Additionally, their pricing system might be a bit too steep for freelancers and small businesses. So, if you're looking for software that will meet your needs, no matter the size of your company, Better Proposals is the way to go. Sign up for our 14-day free trial and see for yourself.
