The DocuSign alternative that builds the proposal too
Propovo gets proposals, quotes and contracts signed like DocuSign, and also writes them with AI, lets clients choose packages, and includes CRM integrations, with no envelope limits, for $24 a seat a month.
By the Propovo team · Last checked 30 October 2026
The short answer
DocuSign signs documents you made somewhere else, and counts every envelope. Propovo is built for teams that send proposals, quotes and contracts: AI writes the first draft, clients choose packages and sign in one link, and HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce and Zoho CRM, payment requests and branding come on one plan with no send limits. It costs $24 a seat a month, about half of DocuSign Business Pro.
Why teams look for a DocuSign alternative
Every envelope is counted
DocuSign Standard and Business Pro include 100 envelopes per user a year billed annually, 10 a month on monthly plans, with extra envelopes charged.
The useful parts cost more
Payments and bulk send are on Business Pro at $45 per user a month, and Salesforce, Dynamics and NetSuite integrations go through sales.
It only signs
DocuSign has no proposal or quote builder, so you write and price the document in another tool and upload it.
Propovo, the DocuSign alternative built to win
Everything below is on Propovo’s one plan, from a single seat.
A first draft from your notes, not a blank page
Give Propovo your call notes, a short brief, a template or a CRM deal. AI drafts the proposal, quote or contract with your services and pricing, and you edit it in a branded editor. Every seat gets 2,000 AI credits a month.
DocuSign’s eSignature plans offer an AI summary; AI agreement search needs an IAM plan from $45 per user a month.
Quotes your client can adjust
Offer packages, optional extras and quantities. The client picks what fits within the limits you set, sees the total update, then accepts. Deposit and milestone requests open your own payment link.
DocuSign has no pricing tables or packages.
One room for the whole deal
The proposal, quote, contract, files and comments sit behind one link. Clients ask about the exact section, you answer in place, and nobody hunts for the latest version.
DocuSign’s eSignature plans do not list a client room.
Contracts and e-signatures included
More than 50 agreement templates with clause numbering and a parties block. Each signer gets their own link, and the signed PDF ends with a signature certificate per signer.
On DocuSign Standard and Business Pro, every send counts against 100 envelopes per user a year.
Approvals, CRM and branding on one plan
Team roles, approval policies, your brand and HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce and Zoho CRM come with Propovo’s single plan. Clients never need a seat.
DocuSign sells its Salesforce, Dynamics and NetSuite integrations through sales.
