# Fresh Proposals alternative: track and protect the proposals you already write

Fresh Proposals is an affordable proposal builder for small businesses, agencies and professional services, with e-signatures, payments and a two-way HubSpot sync. Its plans limit active proposals. HelpRange does not build proposals: it sends the document you already have as a tracked, protected link with an offer page and “Accept offer”, and drafts the next offer from your last one with AI.

## When Fresh Proposals is the better choice

- **You want the lowest-priced builder.** Starter at $20 a month (billed yearly) includes an editor, e-signatures, analytics and PDF import.
- **HubSpot is your CRM.** Fresh Proposals has a native two-way HubSpot sync; HelpRange works through webhooks, Make or n8n.
- **You bill on acceptance.** Stripe advance payments, and LawPay or CPACharge for law and accounting firms; HelpRange has no payments.
- **Clients choose packages.** Interactive pricing with optional items and editable quantities.

## When HelpRange fits better

- **You already have the proposal.** Upload the PDF, Word, PowerPoint or Excel file and send a link – nothing to rebuild in an editor. Need a new one? The AI offer generator drafts it from your last offer, with prices only from you, and nothing is sent before you confirm.
- **Your price list must not travel.** The reader’s e-mail as a watermark on every page, download and print blocked, a confirmed e-mail before the document opens, an expiry date, and access you switch off when the offer ends.
- **The sales team grows.** One price for the whole team – Pro is $39 a month however many salespeople you add, with no proposal limit.
- **The deal needs more than a proposal.** Data rooms with an NDA before access, “I have read and accept” for key documents, automatic redaction and Excel files shown as a spreadsheet – in the same tool.
- **You want to know who is ready.** An engagement score from 0 to 100 for every recipient, “Accept offer” and “Request contact” on the link, and an alert with the score when they click.

## Using HelpRange with or instead of Fresh Proposals

If you already write offers in Word or as PDFs, HelpRange lets you keep doing that: upload the file, add an offer page with “Accept offer” and “Request contact”, and send the link – or let the AI offer generator draft the next offer from your last one. Keep Fresh Proposals if signatures and payments inside the proposal matter more than protection.

## FAQ

Is HelpRange cheaper than Fresh Proposals?

Not for a single user with up to 10 active proposals: Fresh Proposals Starter is $20 a month billed yearly, HelpRange Pro $31 billed yearly. HelpRange Pro has no proposal limit and covers the whole team; Fresh Proposals does not say on its pricing page whether its prices are per user (freshproposals.com/pricing, 8 November 2026).

Can clients sign in HelpRange?

No. HelpRange records “Accept offer” or “Request contact” with the client’s comment and engagement score. Fresh Proposals has e-signatures with multiple signers.

Can HelpRange write proposals?

From your last offer, yes: the AI offer generator drafts the same sections and a price table, prices only from your prompt and template, and you preview the PDF before anything is created. There is no editor for designing proposals.

Which protects a price list better?

HelpRange: the reader’s e-mail as a watermark on every page, a confirmed e-mail before the document opens, download and print blocking, expiry and revoke. Fresh Proposals can control PDF download before signing and closes a proposal after its validity date.
