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.
Otter
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants running 10+ client calls per week who need searchable notes.
Why pick it: Speaker identification and searchable history mean you can find "what did the CFO say about budget in the March call" in seconds, not hours.
Watch for: If you run fewer than 5 meetings per week, Fathom (free tier) covers basic notes without a subscription.
