Can I use the generator for free?
Yes. The free plan includes 100 proposals per year, e-signatures, basic templates, and payment collection — no credit card required. That's enough for most consultants to close multiple deals before ever needing to upgrade. The free plan is designed to be genuinely useful, not a teaser.
What's the difference between Starter and Professional?
Starter unlocks unlimited proposals and the Logic Integrity Scan — the tool that audits your proposal for coverage gaps, overlapping claims, and CFO objections before you hit send. Professional adds The Closer's Edge: Economic Ghostwriter (translates your tech-speak into financial outcomes), CFO Stress-Test Simulator (red-teams your proposal before your client does), CFO One-Pager (the executive summary the budget owner actually reads), and Internal Consensus Engine (the email that gets forwarded for budget approval). If you're closing $20K+ deals, Professional pays for itself with one additional close.
How do e-signatures work?
Built-in e-signatures — no third-party account needed. Click "Send for Signature," enter your client's email, and they receive a legally binding signing link. They sign in their browser in under 2 minutes. You get notified the moment they sign. E-signatures are included on all plans, including Free.
How does payment collection work?
Connect your Stripe account in Settings (takes 5 minutes, no existing Stripe account needed). Then enable payments on any proposal — choose full upfront, 50/50, or custom split. When your client signs, they get a secure payment link. Money goes directly to your bank account. ProposalCraft charges a 3% platform fee per transaction.
What is the Proposal Integrity Scan?
The Logic Integrity Scan audits your proposal for coverage gaps, overlapping value claims, unstated assumptions, and the exact objections a CFO will raise before signing. Results in under 30 seconds. It's the difference between sending a proposal and sending a proposal that holds up under scrutiny. Available on Starter and above.
What are the Professional closing tools?
Professional's Closer's Edge includes four deal-closing tools: Economic Ghostwriter — translates your technical deliverables into the financial language a CFO approves. CFO Stress-Test Simulator — a simulated CFO who red-teams your proposal logic so your client's CFO never gets to. CFO One-Pager — a standalone executive financial summary the budget owner reads when your proposal gets forwarded. Internal Consensus Engine — the pre-written email that gets your champion budget approval from their own boss.
Can I change plans anytime?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at your next billing cycle. All plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Does Enterprise include team features?
Yes. Enterprise includes team and organization management — invite team members, share templates, track team-wide proposal metrics, and manage billing centrally. It also includes API access, webhook integrations, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantee.
