Alternative to Qvidian

If you want your proposal to look like it was made in Microsoft Word, Qvidian won't disappoint you. However, if you want software that will make your proposals stand out from the crowd, you might want to look elsewhere. So, without further ado, let's dive into some key differences between Qvidian and Better Proposals.

Proposals

As we've already mentioned, Qvidian offers only Word templates. While their drag and drop interface allows you to add elements easily, the design is limited. Think of it as a standard Word document. With Qvidian, you can add images and format the text in your proposal the same way you would if you were doing it in Microsoft Word. That said, their auto-fill feature will make the creation process faster than inputting all the data manually.

On the other hand, if you're looking for modern and visually appealing proposal templates, Better Proposals has over 200 pre-made ones. They're easily customizable, come with a library of stock photos you can use and are pre-written for maximum convenience. What's more, you can also add a digital signature field to get rid of the hassle of looking through emails. And if you want to take it a step further, you can choose to integrate live chat software. That way, your client can give you feedback while reading the proposal, which lets you make the required changes right away.

No design skills required

Process, share, and store your proposals quicker, easier, and more securely than ever.
And the best part is, you won't need a team to make it perfect.

Payment integrations

Better Proposals integrates with PayPal, Stripe, and GoCardless, meaning you can get paid from almost anywhere in the world. With Ignition, you get the option to integrate your accounting software, but there's no dedicated payment integration available. At the end of the day, that means more administrative work for you and less time for doing what you do best.

Conclusion

When choosing between Qvidian and Better Proposals, keep in mind that Qvidian's been around for more than 20 years. In that time, they've proved their software is especially good for the healthcare and financial industries. So, if you're a freelancer, a big company, a small business, or simply not a part of those two industries, Qvidian might not be the optimal solution.

In addition to that, it offers more than 40 integrations to support payments, CRM, and project management. So, when considering whether to use Qvidian or Better Proposals, ask yourself what you need from your proposals. If the answer is usability, modern design, and more clients, Better Proposals is the way to go.
