September 18, 2019 5.0 Pros Bidsketch is awesome, it allows me and my team to prepare, organize and send out proposals fast to clients. As a marketing company, my business relies heavily on proposals. Prior to Bidsketch It would take me 2 hours to organized, gather information, and send it out to clients. Now that process takes less than 30 minutes. The templates are detailed and easy to customize to your liking or your brand. You can add additional information to different sections of the template - allowing for quick and efficient use. Overall, my experience has been great, the software saves us a lot of time and allows us to streamline some of our processes. Highly recommended, give it a try a try Cons I wish for a little bit more native integrations with other applications. Zapier integration is a huge win but more seamless native integrations would have made this software 2X better. Also, I wish the UI was a bit more updated. Review Source JS Jaime S. Janitor Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simply Excellent" November 9, 2019 5.0 It's been a pleasure to work with Bidsketch so far. Sending and getting proposals signed has been a smooth sail from the moment I started using it. My customers have not had any issues signing or filling out the proposals either. It's a win win. Pros Bidsketch is dead easy to use. What used to take me days to complete in other software I can get done in a couple hours with Bidsketch. Love it. Cons I haven't found any issues that have been show stoppers. Everything has worked for me with no issues. Switched from [Better Proposals](https://www.capterra.com/p/153794/Better-Proposals/) Way too many options. I got distracted every time. Review Source JH Jamie H. Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Waste Of Time & Will Not Save You Time" October 13, 2017 1.0 Pros There is a 14 day free trial. Thank You for that as I only needed 3 hours to tell me never to use this platform. Cons Very bad platform in terms of your clients receiving the proposals. I sent out 2 proposals and neither client received them. I tested the proposals and sent them to two of my own email addresses and did not receive them either. I copied and pasted the proposal link to see how it looked and the system tells me proposal was viewed by client. Even though they both say sent they are not in anyone's email box. Very, very basic proposal templates. Bottom line is if you know your product or service you sure do not need this companies generic ones. You can put together a proposal that is much more detailed. You will find yourself spending time edited all of their text anyways. Just wasted 3.5 hours of my time. Trust me stay away. Review Source AD Andy D. Director-Business Solution Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Product and Customer Service" October 6, 2021 5.0 I have been with Bidsketch since 7 years and the experience and journey is fantastic. I highly recommend the product. Pros 1) Overall software and user interface with ready to use templates and custom templates makes this software better then other software available in the market. 2) I can customize the content of proposal by modifying the source code. It takes content of Lengthy Google docs (80-90 pages) with almost entire formatting. So finally the pasting from Google Docs works awesome for me. 3) Customer Service is top notch specially \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] with whom I am working more then 4-5 years. She is so supportive and friendly in explaining her feedback (specially videos she create for me to explain the flow). Cons The width of the proposal is limited (around 900 pixels) and it does not occupy the entire screen. I and most of our clients use big sized screen (if they don't see proposal on mobiles) Reason for choosing Bidsketch Ease of Use and simple interface for clients Review Source LC Louis C. Managing Partner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Proposals made easy " April 1, 2019 5.0 Been using BidSketch during my tenure at three different companies and recently launched my own company, which is using BidSketch. It's a reliable platform that's easy to use for those making proposals and those approving them (clients). Pros It's easy to organize your services into modules and sections which reduces time to create a proposal. Further, having services consistent between clients and proposals helps improve quality of services delivered. Finally, I love how easy it is to send and get approval on a proposal from a client. Cons Pre-written proposal sections were added and can't be removed. It is nice to have a default library of content, but we already have a plethora of content and would like to remove the default content. Currently, we can't. Review Source EK Eric K. Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "BidSketch Review" January 25, 2018 5.0 Pros 1\. E-Sign 2. Ability to see when client views the proposal 3. Ability to integrate with freshbooks 4. Save time by having a template 5. Ability to share link or email the proposal 6. Multiple Themes with ability to add logo 7. Ability to attach your domain to the proposal url Cons There has been no issues that prevent me from doing my job. The only thing I'd recommend is a way to suspend a proposal and retrieve it later instead of having to delete it all together for it to be private. Review Source Dawn G. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Smart & Efficient" October 13, 2017 5.0 Pros Bidsketch has been invaluable, saving me a considerable amount of time whilst still allowing me to maintain a professional appearance. The templates are detailed, well considered and easy to customise – allowing for quick and efficient use regardless of the size client I need it for, and they can be designed to fully capitalise on any key areas I need to address. I cannot recommend Bidsketch highly enough – if you require a smart, efficient and user friendly piece of software to help you manage your proposals and contracts; this is the one for you. Cons I'd like to be able to further customise the templates with additional imagery as some clients prefer more visuals than others, but this is a minor want and in no way diminishes the current capability. Review Source Daniel H. QA and Support Specialist Investment Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use contract renewal and offer system" April 20, 2019 4.0 Pros Bidsketch helps us write up proposals/contracts. The system has a great degree of customization and lets you create modules so proposals can be quickly updated for each individual client's needs. Cons Don't bother copy and pasting formatted text from other sources. Editing copy is wonky. Its best to finalize your content in Bidsketch itself. Review Source Heather W. Freelance Web Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "BidSketch Review by a Freelance Web Designer" January 9, 2018 5.0 Pros I've been designing and developing websites for over 8 years. I've used lots of software in that time, including proposal software. Bidsketch had a nicely organized website where I could easily find what I needed and apply customizations to templates. It came with lots of content for my proposals. So I could literally get up and running with a proposal in no time. They host the program, so I don't have to install anything. Everything is pretty simple, so I don't need any directions on how to use anything. I love the variables table. I love that I get notifications when my clients look at the quote. And I also love the "add-on" feature, allowing clients to add more services to their proposal dynamically :) Cons I wish it was easier to find the public URL so I could preview it anytime before choosing to send to the client. I wish there was a button for variables inside the wysiwyg editor. Review Source Alla K. Entrepreneur and Founder of ProfitApps Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Professional, Effective, and Reliable." January 3, 2018 5.0 Pros I found Bidsketch most useful when it comes to the content. The team at Bidsketch did an incredible job putting the pieces together and cover important details that otherwise can take much time to construct. It is a reliable tool with friendly UI and UX. Cons To be honest, every time I face a challenge with Bidsketch and realize that it is limited, I just ask the support team and I get my answer. There are no obvious down side to Bidsketch as far as my requirements goes. Review Source Pascal A. Gestion de clientèle Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Logiciel de tâches proposée" October 9, 2023 5.0 Pros Très facile à utiliserUn support de signature électronique disposant des propositions de création sur le site web Cons La possibilité d'acheter votre domaine à lURL de la propositionLa possibilité de suspendre une proposition Review Source LB Larry B. Sales Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nice proposal software solution for the price" August 11, 2021 4.0 I used to send Word doc proposals, which meant recreating the invoices every time. Once I customized the sections in Bidsketch, I could create a proposal within minutes. This was life-changing! Getting a signature immediately also improved efficiency in our sales process. Also, the response time was almost immediate when I needed help - in some cases the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] would reach out. Overall, I feel it's a great proposal software for small companies who may not be tech-savvy but need to speed up their sales process. Pros As a stand-alone proposal software Bidsketch is user-friendly and very customizable. Saving sections creates a library that streamlines workflow and saves time. The customer support is phenomenal. Cons Accessing the signature field is not intuitive for the customer. Not a big deal - I created a couple of screenshots and sent to client ahead of the proposal. Other drawback is it does not integrate with a payment processor. A link to Paypal or Stripe can be added to the thank-you email to customer, but that is an extra step. Review Source FM Freddy M. VP of Business Development Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Grow your Business with Bidsketch" April 25, 2022 5.0 We have loved using Bidsketch for the last seven years. The ability to "zap" our proposal numbers to our CRM has been awesome. Pros With Bidsketch, our Sales team can see past proposals and see decisions. They can look up a business and see how many times we quoted them and what services we offered. Bidsketch is easy to update our services and our offerings. Cons Our version needs to be more mobile friendly. Review Source Ginger J. Co-owner Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I want to love the software, but it has a ton of bugs" May 14, 2018 3.0 Pros I like that I can see when a person has opened up the document and how long they took to review the bid. That is good. I like the various sections and the templates. Cons Has a ton of bugs. When editing a certain section and you save, it takes you to the beginning of the document, which wastes a lot of time. A lot of times we will save something and the changes won't save. There need to be a lot more customizations. Review Source Adam S. Digital Marketing Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Saves so much time" April 20, 2016 5.0 In business today, time is money. Wasted time is lost profits. Save time and money by using Bidsketch to create client proposals. Here at ARS Digital Marketing, we use Bidsketch to quickly and easily design custom proposals for our clients. Gone are the days of keeping track of numerous word and pdf documents. Pros Saves alot of time. One-stop place to organize client proposals. Cons Nothing really so far. If I had one comment it would be to increase the 25-client limit on the starter plan. Review Source Angus H. Owner | Project Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "null" September 24, 2016 3.0 Review Source LW Liz W. Founder & Co-CEO Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An easy to use and cost effective proposal software program" July 26, 2018 5.0 Pros Great looking templates that are simple to edit, reasonable price for the value it brings, clean user interface, saves lots of time Cons Nothing significant except the price could be lower, and there could be more native integrations. It would be nice if perhaps the proposals were more customizable with a greater range of color, fonts, etc. Review Source JH Jessi H. CMO Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best way to prepare a proposal! " March 7, 2018 5.0 Pros Not only are there many templates to choose from, you can edit to customize them and save them or you can create your own templates. Once that is done, proposals get done in a flash. Cons I'd like to see contracts added and sent out following a signed proposal. For some projects the signed proposal is enough but for writing projects, I'd like to have everything clearly outlined in a dedicated contract too and it's be great to have that all in the same software. Review Source NW Nathan W. Used the software for: ### "Bidsketch for the best proposal writing software out there." February 14, 2017 5.0 Bidsketch is great for writing proposals and looking professional to your clients. Their proposal templates and third-party integrations save you lots of time. I integrate my proposals with Freshbooks to allow any accepted proposals to help create invoices for my new clients. It also is great for having your clients easily sign your proposals online. Review Source Joshua M. Director of Accounts Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It make me look professional & gets the job done!" October 13, 2017 4.0 Pros Professional way to sign on a client Can use past proposals as a template to start from Can customize fonts, colors and background areas Cons Not easy to completely customize from scratch to match my brand. Interface is not always intuitive. Would like to see drag and drop ability for service descriptions and terms and conditions sections. Review Source Ted S.

December 17, 2018 5.0 Pros The design is very clean and the user interface is very intuitive, it is really built to make your business life easier and faster if you don't​ have much time to create rich proposals. Cons It is a bit expensive especially​ if you are not a very big business, but it is worth to try at least the free trial. Review Source JG Jane G. Web Designer Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Nice but pricey and not as feature-rich" September 19, 2017 3.0 I only tried this for about a month but it was nice to be able to fill in a form easily instead of manually updating a proposal on my computer and then uploading it to a third-party digital signature service. Pros Online signatures // Looks professional and clean // easy for clients to view and sign proposals // Freshbooks integration // Basecamp integration // Ability to change logo and colors to match your branding // Able to see if/when clients viewed proposals Cons Cannot change proposal layout (only logo and colors) // Way too pricey for a small business Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool for sending proposals quickly and professionally" December 10, 2018 5.0 great experience Pros It looks very neat and professional and very easy to get started, not overwhelming but easy to use. Cons have to enter card to get free trial is not ideal even if they do offer money back guarantee if you forgot to cancel. Review Source KC Krista C. Used the software for: ### "Streamlines the busy work " November 9, 2016 4.0 I've used Bidsketch for a number of proposals and find it helpful since so much of the copy is similar from proposal to proposal. For what use to take me hours, now can take half the time or less.
