Sales proposal software
Which proposal software shows when a buyer opens a proposal?
Short answer
8 proposal tools document tracking how buyers engage with a proposal: Better Proposals, Proposify, Storydoc, Nusii, Proposable, Prospero and 2 more. Section-level analytics help on long proposals with pricing options; simple open notifications are enough for short quotes.

Why this question matters
Knowing a buyer opened the proposal, and which page they spent time on, tells a seller when to call and what to talk about.
Which one fits your situation
- If you send interactive web proposals, start with Storydoc and Qwilr.
- If you need e-signatures in the same tool, start with Better Proposals, Proposify and Proposable.
What to test in a trial
- Send a proposal to yourself from another device and check the notification and report.
Caveats
- Tracking depends on the buyer opening the web version, not a downloaded PDF.
- Check privacy notices for tracking in your market.
How we decided who qualifies
Only sales proposal tools with a published profile are checked. A tool is named here only when its record shows the rule above, either in a sourced research fact or in the reviewed profile, and we publish an answer only when at least three tools qualify. A tool missing from the table may still do this; it has not been documented in a way we could source. Read the research methodology for how facts are dated and corrected.
