Bidsketch vs Proposify (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Bidsketch if

• Fits if you are a freelancer or small agency sending proposals to clients
• Works for a team of up to 8 that wants analytics on who opened a proposal

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you add people, since Team is $47 and Business $119 a month for the same features
• Skip it if you want a free plan, as there is only a 14-day trial
• Watch out: the $15 starter plan has 25 clients and no e-signatures or custom domains
• Watch out: the pages read do not say which plans include the API

Pick Proposify if

• Fits if you send a lot of proposals and want to see when clients open them
• Works for a sales team that wants quotes and signing in one document

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're one person, at $39 a user a month billed yearly
• Tight if you send a lot: each plan has a monthly send limit with an overage fee
• Skip it if you need the API or SSO, which aren't on Build
• Watch out: custom template design costs $1,500 on Build, and Grow's launch kit is $2,000
• Watch out: Salesforce and Aspire integrations are premium add-ons tied to Scale

Documents are built from text, images, video, tables and shapes, with reusable sections kept in a content library.

Interactive quoting

Buyers can choose optional fees or set their own quantities, and a product catalog stores prices so reps can pull them into a quote.

E-signatures on every plan

Every plan can add signatures to a document to record sign-off. Drafting and editing are unlimited, and only sends count toward the limit.
