Built for real sales quoting, not just proposal creation
Both QuoteCloud and Better Proposals help businesses create professional proposals and close deals online. QuoteCloud takes a different approach. It is built around the sales quoting workflow, allowing teams to manage quotes, proposals, pricing, approvals, and eSignatures in one platform designed for real-world sales processes.
Why Choose QuoteCloud Instead of Better Proposals
Built for complex quoting workflows
Better Proposals is designed to help businesses create professional proposals quickly using templates and online document pages.
QuoteCloud is designed specifically for sales quoting and pricing management, allowing teams to generate simple or complex quotes with configurable pricing tables, discounts, product options, and automated calculations.
This makes it easier for teams managing real pricing structures rather than simple proposal pricing.
More powerful pricing automation
QuoteCloud includes advanced pricing capabilities such as:
- pricing formulas
- tiered pricing
- quantity-based discounts
- multi-currency pricing
These features allow teams to generate accurate quotes automatically instead of relying on manual calculations. Better Proposals includes interactive pricing tables but focuses mainly on displaying pricing within proposals rather than handling complex pricing rules.
Designed to manage the entire sales document workflow
QuoteCloud allows teams to manage quotes, proposals, and contracts in one workflow, including approvals, document tracking, and electronic signatures.
Better Proposals focuses primarily on proposal generation and presentation with features like templates, analytics, and document tracking.
For teams managing full sales cycles, QuoteCloud provides a more complete quoting solution.
