Better Proposals
Proposals that close, start to signature
What is Better Proposals
Better Proposals lets you build, send, and track client-facing proposals from a single platform, handling everything from template design to digital signatures and payment collection inside the same document. It's built for account executives and founders at SMBs and mid-market companies who need to move deals forward without stitching together separate tools for docs, e-sign, and invoicing. The standout capability is live chat embedded directly inside proposals — clients can ask questions without leaving the document, which keeps deal momentum in one place. It connects natively to HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive, and Zapier extends it further into most GTM stacks. Where it falls short is depth: reporting and analytics stay surface-level, so teams that need granular pipeline attribution or advanced forecasting will still need a dedicated CRM or BI layer.

Vanderbuild take
For account executives and founders who want a single document that covers proposal, e-sign, and payment without bouncing between tools, Better Proposals is a practical fit in the E-Signature & Proposals category. On the agentic side, the API exists but readiness is limited — you can trigger basic actions programmatically, but don't expect to build a reliable agentic orchestration layer on top of it without hitting friction; MCP status is unconfirmed. Pricing isn't publicly listed, which makes budgeting harder than it should be at the SMB and mid-market level — factor in discovery time before committing. The honest ceiling here is reporting: proposal-level view tracking is useful, but if your team needs deal attribution tied back to revenue or multi-touch analytics, you'll be pulling that data elsewhere.
