Pricing: $10 to $40 against $35 to $75

DocuSign is the cheaper to start. Personal is $10 with 5 envelopes a month, Standard $25 a user and Business Pro $40, each of the last two with 100 envelopes per user a year. Enhanced plans are by quote.

Qwilr's Starter is $35 a user, Growth $55 and Scale $75, with a minimum of 5 users on Growth and 10 on Scale, both on annual billing only. Starter is $49 billed monthly. Qwilr's trial lasts 14 days and needs no credit card.

Pricing tables and templates

Qwilr's quotes can show one-off or recurring costs, discounts and pricing plans, inside a page you design. DocuSign has reusable templates on every plan, and its plans page doesn't list pricing tables.

So the question is what you are sending. A priced proposal that has to look good fits Qwilr. A finished contract that has to be signed fits DocuSign.

Payments and tracking

Qwilr includes payments from Starter, through QwilrPay at a 0.09% per-transaction fee on top of Stripe's fees; the fee is 0% on Growth and Scale. DocuSign collects payments during signing only on Business Pro at $40 or an Enhanced plan.

Qwilr's analytics show when a proposal is opened, how often, and which blocks buyers read or click. DocuSign gives real-time audit trails, notifications and reminders on every plan, and lists real-time document status updates among its features.

CRM integrations

Qwilr's Starter includes HubSpot, Zoho and Pipedrive, with Microsoft Dynamics on Growth and Salesforce on Scale. Accepted quotes can be pushed to QuickBooks as invoices.

DocuSign lists apps for Salesforce and HubSpot, and cites more than 1000 partner integrations. Generating documents from Salesforce is part of its Enhanced plans.

We make PromptLab, so here is where it fits.

Or quote from inside your CRM

PromptLab builds quotes from your products and price lists, with a discount on each line, then gives you a PDF and a link the customer can open. The quote stays on the deal, with its status from draft to approved.

When the customer agrees, the order lives in the same CRM as a sales order with its invoice. There are no e-signatures, payments or view tracking, so pair it with a signing tool if your contracts need one.
