Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you just need contracts signed, as it's built for proposals
- Tight if you send more than 10 documents a month on Starter or 50 on Premium, as only Enterprise lifts the limit
- Pricey if you want automatic follow-ups, as Nudge is $10 a user on top, and custom template design starts at $1,495
- Skip it if you need CRM integrations, the API or Zapier on Starter, as they start at Premium at $21 a user
- Not for you if you want a phone or desktop app, since it runs on the web only
Pick Quotient if
- Fits if you send price quotes to customers and want them accepted online
- Works for small firms that already use Xero or QuickBooks

- Watch out: the Team+ price per member comes from the FAQ, and the plan card shows no figure

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$63 a month for three on Premium, billed yearly ($21 a head, $29 monthly), with 50 documents a month; Starter is one user and 10 documents.

Team is $48 for up to 5. |

| Features | CTemplates, a content library, interactive pricing tables, open tracking, signing and payment by Stripe, PayPal or GoCardless, with approvals on Enterprise.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
