Best for freelancers who send proposals with e-signatures
Bidsketch is proposal software with templates, analytics and e-signatures, from $23 a month billed yearly for one user. The plans differ only by user count, the cheaper $15 plan drops e-signatures, and the 14-day trial is on every plan with a reminder before it ends.
Who Bidsketch is for

Keep Bidsketch, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Bidsketch you could make: quotes and estimates, documents and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 26 of the 37 other e-signature and proposal tools grade higher. It costs $276 a year.
What you could make
- Quotes and estimates, documents and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, Zapier, Harvest and FreshBooks among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Bidsketch’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
