Prospero
Proposal software with templates, tracking and built-in e-signatures
Prospero report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 17, 2026
Best for cheap proposals for freelancers and small agencies
Prospero is proposal software: proposals built from 100+ templates, an AI writing helper, tracking of who read what, and a signature at the end. We've graded it against its own rivals, like Better Proposals and PandaDoc. At $12 a person billed yearly it's the cheaper pick, but each proposal takes just two signers.
Who Prospero is for
- Great if you're a freelancer who wants good-looking proposals for $12 a month
- Handy when you want to know if the client actually read it, and for how long
- Good for anyone invoicing through QuickBooks, FreshBooks or Xero
Who Prospero is not for
- Not for you if your contracts need more than two signers
- Skip it if you need help outside European office hours, as support runs 9 to 5 GMT+2 on weekdays
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $19 a head against $12 billed yearly
Why Prospero gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for money$36 a month for three, at $12 a head billed yearly ($19 monthly), for unlimited proposals on its one plan. Against its own rivals that's cheap: Better Proposals Premium is $21 a head, and PandaDoc's pricing tables need Business at $49.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial that needs no card, with the full set of proposal features.
- CFeaturesTemplates, variables, an interactive pricing module, AI writing, open and read tracking, reminders, expiry dates and passwords. It does the proposal job fully, but that's a smaller job than general signing: its feature list names two signers per proposal.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. It's a web editor where the work is building the proposal itself, so expect some setting up, though the 100+ templates give you a head start.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Stripe, QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Xero, Slack and Monday.com, and more through Zapier and Make. No phone or desktop app.

Keep Prospero, or make your own?
Your call
You could make the core of Prospero for yourself: documents and templates.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $144 a year.
What you could make
- Documents and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, QuickBooks and FreshBooks among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Prospero’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.
