Choose Qwilr if...

  • You only need pre-sale proposals (no post-sale needs)
  • You're already heavily invested in Qwilr (switching cost is real)
  • You love Qwilr's design aesthetic (it's genuinely beautiful)
  • You have dedicated budget for best-in-class proposal tool
  • You don't mind paying $875/month for sales-only features

  • Qwilr: Built for teams who only need pre-sale proposals and have premium budget ($875/mo for 25 users)

Neither is “better”—they target different customers.
