Qwilr alternative that writes the full proposal from your brief
The best Qwilr alternative for a small agency or sales team is one that writes the proposal for you and does not charge per seat with a five seat minimum. ProposalCreation reads your client brief, call notes or RFP, drafts the complete proposal with scope, timeline, pricing table and terms in your company style, and sends it as a tracked link with e-signature. Five people pay $888 a year on our Growth plan, against $3,300 on Qwilr Growth.

Why teams look for a Qwilr alternative
Qwilr is known for proposals that look like polished web pages, and most people who search for an alternative like the output. What pushes them to compare is usually the bill and the blank page.
Qwilr's public pricing lists Starter at $35 per user per month billed annually or $49 monthly. Growth is $55 per user per month, annual billing only, with a five seat minimum, which is $3,300 a year for five people. Scale is $75 per user per month, annual only, with a ten seat minimum, so the smallest Scale account is $9,000 a year. Salesforce sits on Scale, and Microsoft Dynamics starts on Growth.
The second reason is writing time. A beautiful page template still needs the words: an executive summary written for this client, the scope for this project and a pricing table rebuilt for this deal. Qwilr's AI Prefill and Smart Proposal Engine are listed on Scale, so smaller teams on Starter or Growth do most of that writing by hand.
The third is commitment. A team that wants to try a tool for a quarter on monthly billing cannot do that on Qwilr Growth or Scale.
Where Qwilr is a strong choice
We would rather you choose well than switch twice, so here is where Qwilr does better than most proposal tools, including ours.
- Web page proposals with a distinctive, interactive look that many creative and brand agencies use as part of their pitch.
- Embedded media such as video and rich page blocks inside the proposal.
- QwilrPay, which lets a client pay inside the proposal (0.09% fee on Starter, 0% on Growth and Scale, per their pricing page).
- HubSpot, Zoho and Pipedrive on the Starter plan, so a solo seller gets CRM sync on the entry tier.
- Conditional content and team level permissions on Scale.
If your proposals are a design showcase, you collect deposits inside the proposal and your team is already built around Qwilr pages, staying is a reasonable call.
Where ProposalCreation is different
ProposalCreation starts from the brief, not the template. You paste what you know about the deal and edit a finished draft.
- Full first draft from a brief, call notes or a pasted RFP: cover page, executive summary, goals, scope, deliverables, timeline, pricing table, terms, next steps and signature block.
- AI drafting on every plan, from Starter at $24 a month billed annually, not only on the top tier.
- Your company style on every draft: logo, brand colors, fonts, voice notes and two or three past proposals you upload once.
- A shared content library and price catalog, so every rep quotes the same numbers and the same approved wording.
- Seats included in the plan: 1 on Starter, 5 on Growth, 15 on Business and 50 on Enterprise, with monthly billing on every plan.
- RFP import on Business and Enterprise: the AI extracts each question and drafts answers from your library.
- E-signature on every plan with multiple signers, signing order and an audit trail certificate.

What a team pays per year
Annual cost for common team sizes on annual billing. Qwilr figures are list price per user from its public pricing page multiplied by seats, without add-ons or payment fees. On Qwilr Starter there is no seat minimum, but Salesforce, Dynamics and the AI Prefill features are not on that plan.
| Team size | ProposalCreation plan | ProposalCreation per year | Qwilr Starter per year | Qwilr Growth per year | Qwilr Scale per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | Starter | $288 | $420 | Not available (5 seat minimum) | Not available (10 seat minimum) |
| 5 people | Growth | $888 | $2,100 | $3,300 | Not available (10 seat minimum) |
| 10 people | Business | $1,788 | $4,200 | $6,600 | $9,000 |
| 15 people | Business | $1,788 | $6,300 | $9,900 | $13,500 |
Our plans limit AI work per month (for example 70 AI drafts and 300 section rewrites on Growth), while sending the proposals you create is unlimited on every plan. Every limit is on the ProposalCreation pricing page.
Which tool fits your team
Choose Qwilr if the look of the proposal page is part of what you sell, you want clients to pay a deposit inside the proposal, or you need Salesforce with conditional content and you are buying ten seats anyway. Choose ProposalCreation if the hours go into writing rather than designing, and you want a flat team price with the first draft done for you.
- You send 10 or more proposals a month and each one starts by copying the last page and rewriting it.
- Your team is 2 to 15 people and the five seat minimum on Qwilr Growth is more than you need.
- Your reps price the same services slightly differently on every deal.
- You answer RFPs or vendor questionnaires and want answers drafted from content you already own.
- You want monthly billing on a team plan while you test the tool for a quarter.

Can I move my Qwilr proposals to ProposalCreation?
