The verdict
If you are a freelancer or a small agency that wants tidy, trackable proposals and invoices to follow, I'd pick Prospero. It has one published plan, so there is little to decide and little to overpay for.
If you run deals from a CRM and want the proposal to feed the follow-up, I'd pick Better Proposals. It has the deeper integrations, the nudge-style follow-up and the payment and onboarding steps after signing. The catch is that CRM integrations, a custom domain and API or Zapier access start on the Premium plan. Price that plan, not the entry one. For most small B2B teams on this site, Better Proposals is the safer choice.

Who each is for
Choose Better Proposals if…
Prospero suits freelancers, consultants and small service businesses that send client proposals regularly and want a low-cost tool without a heavy sales platform. You pick a template, edit it, send it and see when the client opens it and for how long.
Accounting links to Stripe, QuickBooks, FreshBooks and Square suit a business that invoices after signing. The limit is room to grow. There is no tier with approvals or advanced permissions, and the CRM links are thinner, so test your flow in the trial before you commit.
Choose Prospero if…
Better Proposals suits sales teams and service firms that run deals in HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive and send proposals every week. You see which sections were read, you can nudge by email or WhatsApp, and the client can sign and pay through Stripe, PayPal or GoCardless from the same link.
It fits you when silence kills more deals than price does. Be ready to pay for the Premium plan if the CRM link matters, and for the follow-up add-on if chasing is the reason you are buying.
