Proposify costs $19+/user/mo — and unlike a tool you buy once, that bill never stops. Over three years that's roughly $684 for software doing a job your own hardware could just as easily do.
Where the subscription actually goes
$19+/user/mo is the sticker price. It compounds: cancel and you typically lose access to your own history, and most plans ratchet the price up as you add usage, seats or storage — the bill rarely stays flat for long.
Pitchcraft: the pay-once alternative
Pitchcraft does the same core job for $29, once. Self-hosted proposal builder with pricing tables, open tracking and click-to-sign acceptance.
| Pitchcraft | Proposify | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $29 once | $19+/user/mo |
| Yearly cost (3 users) | $0 after purchase | $684+ |
| Pricing tables with optional add-ons | Yes | Yes |
| Open and read-time tracking | Yes | Yes |
| Click-to-sign acceptance | Yes | Yes |
| CRM integrations | No | Yes |
| Your data on your server | Yes | No |
| Works offline / on your LAN | Yes | No |
Costs less than one month of either subscription — for three seats, that's $684 a year you keep.
Is the subscription ever still worth it?
If you need Proposify's specific ecosystem, integrations or managed infrastructure and that's genuinely load-bearing for you, the subscription earns its keep — that's a real trade-off, not a trick. Pitchcraft is for everyone else: people paying every month for a job that runs fine on hardware they already own.
