Proposal software
for contractors.
A PDF estimate is a piece of paper that happens to be on a screen. It cannot answer a question, take a signature, or collect a deposit. That is the whole case, and the numbers back it.
Why interactive pages beat PDFs
The moment a PDF sends, it is done evolving. The customer reads it once, has a question, and the deal goes into the text-message swamp. An interactive proposal page keeps working after it sends: the customer flips options and watches the price move, picks a tier, signs, and pays the deposit, all in one sitting on their phone. The research matches the common sense:
The mechanism is simple. E-sign removes the print-sign-scan wall at the exact moment the customer is ready. Option toggles let them buy up on their own terms, with nobody standing in the kitchen pressuring them. And a deposit field turns a signed yes into committed money before a competitor's quote lands.
Who sells what
Quotrr
INTERACTIVE PROPOSALS INCLUDED, FREE TIER UPEvery proposal is an interactive page by default: good-better-best, live add-on toggles, e-sign plus deposit collection on the same screen, sent as a magic link the customer opens with no app. Quinn builds the quote from a voice note, and a seven-touch follow-up cadence chases every open proposal automatically. The core is free forever; Pro is $12.99 a week, $39 a month, or $299 a year, with no seat fees and no AI credits.
Pick it if: the proposal is your closing tool and you want the follow-up handled for you.
Housecall Pro Sales Proposals
+$40/MO ON TOP OF THE BASE PLAN, PER INDEPENDENT GUIDESGood-better-best options presented on site by the tech, tied into a genuinely strong booked-to-paid mobile loop. It is an add-on, not the default: $40 a month over Basic at $59, and the flat-rate price book that feeds it is reported at another $149. Full math on Quotrr vs Housecall Pro.
Pick it if: you already run Housecall Pro for dispatch and want options selling at the kitchen table.
QuoteIQ
E-SIGN FROM THE $74.99 TIER, AI METERED BY CREDITSThe interactive piece, InstaQuote, lives on the contractor's own website as an inbound self-quoting widget, and it is clever. But the estimates QuoteIQ sends out are static documents with e-sign, and the AI estimator that builds them takes 4 to 7 minutes of structured input by their own number, burning metered credits. Full breakdown on Quotrr vs QuoteIQ.
Pick it if: inbound self-quoting from your website matters more than the proposals you send out.
ServiceTitan Pricebook
PART OF A CUSTOM ENTERPRISE QUOTE, NO PUBLIC PRICEThe original proof that good-better-best lifts tickets in residential trades. Flat-rate pricing presented by the tech in the home, backed by deep reporting. It comes attached to enterprise software with reported costs of $245 to $500 per tech per month and five-figure implementation. Details on Quotrr vs ServiceTitan.
Pick it if: you run 20-plus techs and are buying the whole operating system anyway.
JobTread
$199/MO BASE PLUS SEATSFor long construction proposals, the estimate-to-contract chain is the strength: estimates built from saved cost items, sub bids pulled in without rekeying, then an e-signed contract that becomes the live budget. Built for remodelers and GCs with office staff, priced per seat after the base.
Pick it if: your proposals are 9 pages with sub bids, not 9 line items with options.
The part everyone skips: what happens after send
The proposal format gets the attention, but the follow-up cadence wins the jobs. Most quotes do not close on the first touch, and most contractors stop chasing after one or two polite nudges. Quotrr runs a designed seven-touch cadence on every open proposal, included. Jobber sells follow-up automation as the $49 a month Pipeline add-on, and QuoteIQ gates generic automation at $149.99, as published, June 2026.
Interactive proposals earn the most in option-heavy outdoor work, where the customer genuinely might take the bigger package: decks, outdoor kitchens, and pools.
Common questions
Do interactive proposals close more jobs than PDF estimates?
Proposals with e-signature close 3.4 times more often, and interactive pricing adds about 6 percent, per Proposify's State of Proposals research. A PDF freezes the moment it sends; an interactive page lets the customer flip options, sign, and pay a deposit in one sitting.
What is good-better-best pricing in a proposal?
Three tiers of the same job, so the customer picks a level instead of deciding yes or no. ServiceTitan's flat-rate Pricebook made the format a proven ticket-size lift in the field, and QuoteIQ claims a 15 to 25 percent ticket lift from it. In Quotrr, good-better-best and live add-on toggles are the default proposal, included on every send.
What does proposal software cost for contractors?
Housecall Pro sells Sales Proposals as a $40 a month add-on, as reported by independent pricing guides, June 2026. QuoteIQ includes e-sign starting at its $74.99 tier, but its sent estimates are static documents. ServiceTitan's Pricebook is part of a custom-priced enterprise quote. Quotrr includes interactive proposals with e-sign and deposit on the free tier; Pro is $12.99 a week, $39 a month, or $299 a year.
Why do follow-ups matter as much as the proposal?
Most quotes do not close on the first touch, and most contractors stop following up after one or two. Quotrr runs a designed seven-touch follow-up cadence on every open proposal automatically. Jobber sells follow-up automation as a $49 a month Pipeline add-on, and QuoteIQ gates its automation at $149.99, as published, June 2026.
