SpecBot vs Better Proposals
Pick Better Proposals if you want payments taken inside the proposal, onboarding forms after signing, a large template library and your own domain, and you're happy with a 14-day trial instead of a free plan.
Pick SpecBot if you want a free plan, one flat euro price, and to draft proposals in ChatGPT as well as Claude, with the client accepting in one click and a signed PDF for both sides.

Where Better Proposals is better
- Payments inside the document on every plan, through Stripe, GoCardless or PayPal. SpecBot doesn't take payments.
- What happens after signing: onboarding flows with call booking, forms and redirects.
- Branding depth: custom domain, multiple brands, custom and Adobe fonts, and badge removal on Premium and up.
- More document types than proposals (quotes, contracts, brochures, statements of work), a library of 260+ templates, and multiple signers with a signing order.
- Detailed read analytics (opens, forwards, time per section) and selling in multiple currencies from one account.
Where SpecBot fits
- You want to start without a trial clock: SpecBot has a free plan with 3 proposals a month, then one flat price of €12 a month or €9 a month billed yearly.
- You draft with AI and use ChatGPT, or the Claude apps rather than Claude Code. SpecBot's MCP server works with both ChatGPT and Claude, and the assistant's text never sets your prices: they come from your catalog of offers.
- You sell a known set of services and want each proposal built from that catalog, by voice, in chat or in the web app.
- Your client accepts in one click on a share link with no account, and both sides get a signed PDF.
- Not a fit if you need payments, onboarding forms, a custom domain or several signers.
