Create, send, and track sales proposals and quotes, with e-signatures for closing the deal.
Proposal software helps sales teams turn approved content, pricing, signatures, and buyer activity into a repeatable closing workflow. The main differences are document design, quote configuration, CRM automation, approval controls, payment collection, and engagement analytics. These products are grouped by the way teams create and manage proposals, in no ranked order. Buyer experience and internal document control often pull teams toward different products.

For document automation
#1 of 7 in Proposal Software
PandaDoc combines proposal and quote creation with templates, e-signatures, CPQ, approval workflows, content libraries, and document analytics. It is worth a look if you want proposal generation connected to CRM data and governed document processes, without building each proposal manually for every deal.
Client-service operations
#3 of 7 in Proposal Software
Bonsai connects proposals with contracts, client CRM, projects, time tracking, invoicing, and payments. It is a fit for service businesses where an accepted proposal should flow directly into client delivery and billing instead of ending at signature. That continuity is useful when sales and delivery are handled by the same team.
For small-team proposal workflows
#4 of 7 in Proposal Software
Better Proposals provides web-based proposal templates, digital signatures, payments, analytics, reusable content, and follow-up tools. This serves smaller service and sales teams that need a focused proposal workflow without adopting a larger sales-document platform. Reusable content keeps recurring service proposals faster to assemble and maintain.
Controlled sales content
#5 of 7 in Proposal Software
Proposify combines branded templates, a content library, approval workflows, interactive quoting, e-signatures, CRM integrations, and proposal analytics. Sales leaders can lock important content while reps personalize approved sections, which helps standardize documents across a team. Buyer-view notifications also help reps time follow-up after a proposal is opened.
Interactive web proposals
#6 of 7 in Proposal Software
Qwilr creates proposals and quotes as interactive web pages, with quote blocks, e-signatures, buyer engagement analytics, payments, and CRM automation. Choose it when teams want a proposal to feel more like a tailored microsite than a static document; CRM integrations can populate pages while preserving a tailored buyer-facing experience.
