Proposal Software Under $10 a Month: What Actually Exists
MyProposer Team 6 min read
The short answer: almost nothing. Of the five best-known proposal tools, the cheapest paid plan that includes proposals is $13 per user per month — and it caps you at ten documents. Under $10 is a very short list.
| Tool | Cheapest plan with proposals | Docs included | Per seat? |
|---|---|---|---|
| MyProposer | $6.99/mo | 100 / 30 days | No — flat |
| Better Proposals | $13/user/mo | 10/mo, 1 user max | Yes |
| Proposify | $19/user/mo | 10 sends/mo | Yes |
| PandaDoc | $19/user/mo | Uncapped | Yes |
| Bonsai | $19/user/mo | Uncapped | Yes |
| Qwilr | $35/user/mo | 10/mo, then $5 each | Yes |

Why the category is priced this way
Proposal software was built for sales teams, and sales teams are priced per seat. That model is rational when ten reps each send proposals and the company measures the pipeline. It is irrational when you are one person, because the advertised price is the floor rather than the cost — the moment a collaborator needs access, it doubles.
The second habit is metering. Better Proposals, Proposify and Qwilr all cap the entry tier at 10 documents a month. That is rarely in the headline and it is usually the limit people hit first, because a revised version sent to the same client counts again.
What comes closest under $10
Bonsai Basic at $9 is the only sub-$10 plan among the five — and proposals are not in it. They begin at Essentials, $19. Worth knowing before you sign up expecting otherwise.
MyProposer Pro at $6.99 clears the bar: flat rather than per seat, 100 documents every 30 days across proposals, quotes, contracts and invoices, with AI drafting and interactive quotes included rather than reserved for a higher tier.
Free plans are the other route. MyProposer’s Free plan is $0 for two of each document type every 30 days — a real plan rather than a countdown — and every new account starts on 30 days of Pro automatically, no card.
How to judge a cheap plan honestly
- Divide by the document cap. $35 for ten documents is $3.50 each. $6.99 for a hundred is seven cents. The monthly price hides that; the division does not.
- Find the branding tier. Removing the vendor’s name costs Premium on Bonsai ($29) and Business on PandaDoc ($49). A cheap plan that puts someone else’s logo on your pitch is not cheap.
- Check for seat minimums. Qwilr’s Growth plan will not sell fewer than five seats — a $275/month floor.
- Compare monthly to monthly. Every headline figure above is the annual rate. Monthly costs more at all five.
The honest verdict
If you send fewer than ten proposals a month and want the deepest template library, Better Proposals at $13 is good value. If you want no meter at all and can absorb a per-seat price, PandaDoc at $19 is the straightest option. If $10 is a real ceiling, the list is short and you should look at free plans and flat pricing rather than a cheap seat.
Where MyProposer fits
MyProposer Pro is $6.99 a month, flat, for 100 documents every 30 days. It is a smaller product than the tools above — no team seats, no approval workflows, no Zapier or Salesforce integrations — and priced accordingly. See the plans or start free.
