Breaking into GTM

Which proposal software should an agency or small business use?

PandaDoc, for most agencies and small businesses: the free plan sends 5 documents a month with real-time tracking, and Starter is $19 a month and Business $49 a seat, billed annually. Better Proposals is the cheapest paid option at $13 a month billed annually for one user. Proposify ($39 a user a month billed annually) and Qwilr ($35 a user a month billed annually, with proposals as interactive web pages) suit agencies sending many designed proposals. In India, the quote also has to show GST correctly, so send the priced quotation from a GST billing tool such as Refrens, which has a free plan, and use the proposal tool for the story. The rule: a proposal a month can be a Google Doc saved as a PDF; once you send several a week, pay for tracking so you know when the buyer opened it and what they read.
