## 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](/storydoc) and [Qwilr](/qwilr).
- If you need e-signatures in the same tool, start with [Better Proposals](/better-proposals), [Proposify](/proposify) and [Proposable](/proposable).

## What to test in a trial

1. 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](/methodology) for how facts are dated and corrected.

## More questions on this topic

Is proposal tracking allowed under GDPR?

Usually, with proper notice. Check the vendor’s guidance and your own privacy policy.

Does tracking work on PDFs?

Mostly on web-based proposals. Downloaded files are not tracked.
