Best fit
Who each tool is for
Better Proposals
Strong ChoiceBest for: Solo consultants and freelancers who want fast proposal-to-signature flow.
Why pick it: Fastest path from blank page to signed proposal. Built-in payment collection (Stripe, PayPal) means you can collect deposits on the same page.
Watch for: Limited contract management features. If you need separate contracts with legal clauses, pair with PandaDoc or use Bonsai instead.
Ignition
Strong ChoiceBest for: Service firms that want one system from proposal approval through automated billing and payment collection.
Why pick it: Combines commercial handoff and billing automation, reducing friction between signed scope and cash collection.
Watch for: If you already run mature invoicing and accounting automation, adding another billing layer may create overlap.
