This was being used by me for my business for a short period to create and submit proposals to clients. I was using the software myself for a period of a couple of weeks to see if it would work for me and my teams business flow before potentially bringing team members on board with it.
  • Easy to use.
  • Electronic signatures.
  • Good integration options.
  • More customization options.
  • Better integration options for payments/bookkeeping.
  • Live chat option.
I think Bidsketch would work well for any small business or freelancer looking for a low-cost, simple to use proposal software solution. It's quick and easy to set up and provides everything you need for more cases. If you're looking for something with more flexibility or features that Bidsketch does not offer then you may need to keep looking.

  • Saved time creating proposals
  • Centralized my proposals, contracts, etc.
  • Gave more professional appearance to clients.
Bidsketch was probably the quickest to get set up and working with, however, I feel it lacks some advanced functionality and customization that may be available in other products. There were some more expensive options I've tried that offered some of the additional features I was looking for, such as better proposals. Ultimately, I ended up building an internal system custom suited to our needs.
Although I didn't need to reach out to support much, they seemed to do a very good job. I've also heard great things about the team through people I've talked to so I wouldn't expect anyone to run into issues with regards to their support. Their support definitely was not a factor in my ultimately not sticking with the product.
I'd say Bidsketch is very easy to use. I don't think most people would have any problem getting comfortable with this software. I was able to get up and running very quickly. Their template library is a great resource to get a professional proposal up and out the door fast.

Bidsketch has been invaluable for our company, saving us a considerable amount of time by creating a proposal with a professional appearance to our potential clients. Templates it includes are detailed, well designed and easy to customize, allowing for quick and efficient use regardless of the type of the service offered. I love how easy it is to send and get the approval on a proposal from a client.
  • Pre-written proposals for many scenarios.
  • Integrations with 3rd party apps.
  • Own domain for branding.
  • Ability to further customize the proposals.
  • Issues with the formatting of pasted text.
It is on the more expensive side so it is better suited for a company that sends out a fair amount of proposals on a regular basis.

  • We saved a considerable amount of time over the months we have been using Bidsketch.
  • Better organization of proposals without the need to track PDFs or Word documents.
  • More professional presentation of our services towards potential clients.
We used DocSend to track our outgoing proposals but after testing Bidsketch we never returned back.
It is simply better suited for us as we send out tens of proposals every week and the professional output and management of proposals won us over.

I used Bidsketch for proposal writing and management for sending proposals for web design and internet marketing to clients. Bidsketch makes the proposal process faster and makes getting signatures and follow up on proposals much more thorough. Relatively easy to use and professional looking, Bidsketch is an excellent source for proposal writing/management.
  • Easy to use, user-friendly interface. I especially liked that it gave you an option to pick and choose what sections you wanted included.
  • Makes putting together a big proposal much quicker, really cuts down on time spent on creating a proposal.
  • Looks professional, and makes follow-up so easy.
  • REALLY PRICEY for a small business/freelancer that doesn't do a lot of proposals each month. Would be nice if they offered a per proposal pricing for the smaller guys.
  • Wish there was more customization of the design/layout to better fit in with branding.
  • Also would like to be able to mark a proposal private.
Bidsketch is ideal if you're doing a lot of proposal writing and want to be able to easily track your proposal and follow up. Unfortunately I can't recommend it for really small businesses/freelancers that only do a small amount of proposals as the price is just too high if you're not doing a large amount of proposals.

  • The proposals do look professional (even if you can't fully customize to your brand) and make a great impression on the potential client.
  • The cost of Bidsketch is prohibitive if you don't do a lot of proposal writing on a regular basis.
