Win the proposal, or run the whole engagement.

Proposify is polished sales-proposal software — a strong design editor, real-time view analytics, e-signatures — priced per seat, with a monthly cap on how many proposals you can send. Bridge is the operating system for professional services: the proposal, the agreement, the engagement, and review-first invoicing, priced per firm. Here's where each fits.

Where Proposify still wins

Honest list:

  • Mature proposal design editor. Proposify 3 rebuilt the editor with alignment guides, interactive pricing tables, and a deep content library. For a sales team producing lots of polished, on-brand proposals, the design tooling is genuinely strong — more of a freeform designer than Bridge's agreement-first wizards.
  • Best-known view analytics. Real-time open notifications and time-spent-per-section tracking are a Proposify signature. Bridge has Proposal Insights, but Proposify's analytics are more mature for a high-volume sales motion.
  • Sales-org workflows. Approval workflows triggered by deal or discount size, roles and permissions, and CRM-driven pipelines (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive) make Proposify a fit for a structured sales team. Bridge is built for the services firm that delivers the work after signature.

Where Bridge wins

Where the proposal is the start of the work, not the finish line:

The proposal becomes a real agreement

Proposify's journey ends at signature — it wins the deal and hands the relationship off. Bridge is agreement-type aware (MNDA, MSA, ICA, SOW, Change Order) with redline, AI change summaries, and version history, and a proposal you draft in Bridge becomes a real SOW when the client accepts.

Everything after signature

Proposify has no engagement workspace, no time tracking, no retainer recognition, and no invoicing beyond a deposit on the proposal. Bridge turns every signed SOW into an engagement with deliverables, budget, time, per-person cost rates, and invoicing generated from the SOW terms — with a draft you review before send.

No per-seat tax, no send caps

Proposify charges per user and meters how many proposals you can send — 10 a month on Basic, 30 on Team, with per-send overage fees past the cap. Bridge is flat and firm-wide with no send limits:

  • A 5-person team is one flat Bridge fee vs $245/mo on Proposify Team ($49 × 5), before overage
  • Retainer lifecycle: 3 types, 4 recognition methods, GL journal entries to QuickBooks — Proposify has none of it
  • Native HubSpot and Salesforce CRM, multi-currency (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD), and a Claude MCP integration

Side-by-side: what you actually pay

Proposify is per seat with no free plan, and it meters document sends — Basic includes 10 a month, Team 30, with per-send overage fees past the cap. So the bill grows two ways: every person is a seat, and every proposal past the cap is a fee.

Bridge starts free (pay per agreement), and Team is a flat firm-wide fee with no seat count and no send caps.

PlanMonthly costPer-user cost
Proposify Basic (per user, 10 sends/mo)$29/user/mo+$0.50/send over cap
Proposify Team (5 users)$245/mo$49 × 5 · 30 sends each
Bridge Team (flat)$69/moflat, any team size, no caps

Bridge charges per firm, never per seat, and never meters how many proposals or agreements you send.

Switching from Proposify

Moving from Proposify is mostly turning a sales proposal into a structured agreement — and gaining the delivery and billing Proposify doesn't have.

  1. Bring clients and pipeline into Bridge. Create accounts and contacts, or sync natively from HubSpot or Salesforce so your pipeline stays aligned.
  2. Recreate proposals as agreements. Turn live proposals into the right Bridge agreement type with redline and version history — or draft a fresh Bridge proposal and let Accept create the SOW.
  3. Set SOW pricing and milestones. Attach a pricing model, rate cards, and milestones to each SOW. Retainers get real recognition methods.
  4. Invoice from the SOW with review. After signature the SOW becomes an engagement; invoices generate from its terms and you verify the draft before send.

Who should pick which

Pick Proposify if: you're a sales team producing high volumes of polished, on-brand proposals, you want the most mature view analytics and approval workflows, and the contract, delivery, and billing live in other tools.

Pick Bridge if: you want the proposal to become a real agreement, engagement, and invoice in one product; you need redline, retainer recognition, and review-first invoicing; or per-seat pricing and monthly send caps have become friction.

A note from the founder

Proposify is a good sales tool, and it's honest about being one — it's built to win the deal. But in professional services, winning the deal is the easy part. The work is everything after the signature, and that's where a proposal tool leaves you with four other subscriptions.

Bridge is one product for the whole arc: proposal, agreement, engagement, invoice, forecast. Priced per firm, because charging you more every time you hire someone never made sense to me.
