Can I use the generator for free?
Yes. You can create up to 3 proposals per month and export them as PDF, HTML, or Markdown — no account needed. The free version includes our problem-first methodology and basic templates. Sign up for a free account to unlock the Economic Roadmap, Proposal Integrity Scan, and more proposals.
What's the difference between Starter and Professional?
Starter gives you 10 proposals, 10 e-signatures, payment collection, and the Proposal Integrity Scan — everything you need to send and close deals. Professional unlocks unlimited proposals and signatures, plus advanced closing tools: CFO One-Pager, Skeptical Sarah (simulated CFO review), Champion Email, and Ghostwriter (financial outcome translator). 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. Starter includes 10 signatures per month; Professional and Enterprise include unlimited.
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?
Every proposal you generate gets an instant audit — coverage gaps, weak arguments, overlapping value claims, and the exact questions a CFO will ask before signing. Results in under 30 seconds. It's like having a senior partner review your proposal before it goes out. Available on Starter and above.
What are the Professional closing tools?
Professional includes five advanced tools: CFO One-Pager — a standalone executive financial summary you leave with the decision-maker. Skeptical Sarah — a simulated CFO who challenges your proposal logic before your client does. Champion Email — a pre-written email your contact forwards to their boss for budget approval. Ghostwriter — rewrites your proposal language into financial outcomes. Unlimited signatures and proposals — no monthly caps.
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.
