These are the stored dimension rationales returned with each score. They explain the buyer conditions behind the gap without speculating about hidden model reasoning.
Collaboration and approvals
13 pts
Better Proposals · 61/100
Manager approvals, simultaneous editing, inline comments, and advanced permissions are available on Enterprise, while Starter and Premium do not include the published manager-approval capability.
Proposify · 74/100
Collaborators, comments, and approval workflows with editing and sending privileges are supported, yet Business is the plan that explicitly adds roles and permissions, so lower-plan approval depth needs buyer confirmation.
Governance, security, and scale
11 pts
Better Proposals · 66/100
Enterprise adds content locking, advanced permissions, manager approvals, and unlimited users and sends, while Starter and Premium impose send caps and omit those governance controls.
Proposify · 77/100
Proposify Business includes user roles and permissions, SSO, API access, multiple workspaces, and onboarding options, which supports governance for larger organizations; the score is not higher because the package is custom and the exact onboarding or support scope requires confirmation.

Cons
Starter is limited to one user and 10 monthly sends.
Premium is limited to 50 monthly sends despite supporting unlimited users.
Manager approvals and key governance controls require Enterprise.
Plan-card unlimited-send wording conflicts with the detailed monthly send allowances and overage table.
Business pricing is only a starting annual amount and the final package requires sales scoping.
CRM integrations and document analytics require Team or Business rather than Basic.
Proposal creation and content management
84A browser-based editor with unlimited templates and a reusable content library supports branded proposal authoring across plans, while content locking is Enterprise-only and editable Word or advanced redlining workflows are not established.
87The product provides a rich-media drag-and-drop editor and a reusable library of templates, sections, snippets, images, fields, and variables with unlimited drafting and editing, while client sharing remains governed by plan send allowances.
Proposal creation efficiency
60The browser-based document editor and unlimited templates streamline the design process, but monthly send limits of 10 on Starter and 50 on Premium may constrain high-volume sales teams.
60Proposify includes a drag-and-drop editor and reusable proposal components, which supports faster drafting for teams that build similar documents repeatedly, but client sharing still counts against monthly send allowances.
Pricing and commercial flexibility
76Interactive pricing tables with calculated totals and one-time payment collection through Stripe, PayPal, and GoCardless are included, but full CPQ rule complexity and recurring or deposit payment behavior are not established.
73Interactive quoting lets buyers adjust quantities and optional fees with real-time price updates and centrally managed pricing content, though post-signature payment collection depends on Stripe and exact plan packaging should be confirmed.
Template and brand governance
60While unlimited templates are supported, the content locking and advanced permissions required to enforce brand governance are reserved for Enterprise-tier users.
60Proposify supports reusable templates and controlled content elements such as sections, snippets, images, fields, and variables, which helps standardize branding, but the captured facts do not establish a plan-specific governance framework for every edition.
Buyer experience and engagement analytics
86Delivers section-level reading analytics tracking when documents are opened, read, forwarded, downloaded, or signed, helping teams see exactly where recipients spend time.
77All plans include document tracking and notifications, while Team and Business add section-level analytics that show opens and time spent per section for more detailed engagement follow-up.
Collaboration and approvals
61Manager approvals, simultaneous editing, inline comments, and advanced permissions are available on Enterprise, while Starter and Premium do not include the published manager-approval capability.
74Collaborators, comments, and approval workflows with editing and sending privileges are supported, yet Business is the plan that explicitly adds roles and permissions, so lower-plan approval depth needs buyer confirmation.
Acceptance and electronic signature
89Native electronic signatures are included across the plan ladder, and the product also supports a proposal workflow that can move from review to signature; the score is slightly below maximum because legal validity and signing requirements can still vary by jurisdiction and transaction type.
91Proposify includes native electronic signatures on all plans, so buyers can cover proposal acceptance and signature collection without a separate signature product; the score is slightly below the maximum because client sends still remain subject to plan allowances and overage charges.
Content reuse quality
60A reusable content library is included across plans to help teams save and insert standard sections, though content locking to prevent unauthorized alterations requires Enterprise.
60Provides a centralized content library for approved descriptions, snippets, and case studies, although exact library gating across lower tiers is unconfirmed.
Delivery, signature, and tracking
60The product includes electronic signatures and proposal activity tracking, including events such as opened, read, forwarded, downloaded, and signed, which supports delivery follow-up and closing workflows.
60All plans include electronic signatures plus document tracking and notifications, while delivery volume remains bounded by monthly client-send allowances and overage charges.
CRM and workflow integrations
74CRM integrations, API access, and Zapier automation are included from Premium, but exact objects, field synchronization direction, and advanced workflow coverage should be confirmed for each connector.
74Team and Business support CRM field-sync integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, and other systems plus automations, while Basic does not include those CRM workflow capabilities.
Pricing table flexibility
60Interactive and calculated pricing tables support client-side selections and automatic totals, but complex CPQ logic and advanced CRM-fed calculations are not established.
60Features interactive tables allowing buyers to modify quantities and options, though exact plan boundaries for these elements are not fully stated.
Governance, security, and scale
66Enterprise adds content locking, advanced permissions, manager approvals, and unlimited users and sends, while Starter and Premium impose send caps and omit those governance controls.
77Proposify Business includes user roles and permissions, SSO, API access, multiple workspaces, and onboarding options, which supports governance for larger organizations; the score is not higher because the package is custom and the exact onboarding or support scope requires confirmation.
CRM data workflow
60CRM integration and automation options begin on the Premium plan, but the depth of bidirectional synchronization and custom field mapping is not verified.
60Synchronizes field data with CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce, but this workflow capability is entirely excluded from the Basic plan.
Proposal engagement analytics
60Section-level reading analytics and activity events, including time spent per section, give sellers granular visibility into recipient interaction with each document.
60Basic provides document tracking and notifications, and Team adds section-level analytics for opens and time spent per section, so deeper engagement insight requires Team or Business.
Implementation, usability, and support
73A 14-day free trial with no credit card and Premium onboarding lower evaluation friction, while custom template design is an optional paid service starting at $1,495.
66A 14-day trial with Team features and no credit card lets buyers test core workflows, and Business offers onboarding options, yet exact support scope and lower-plan enablement details remain package-dependent.
