Quick answer
Yes — Pitchcraft is a one-time-purchase alternative to Proposify. It costs $29 once, while Proposify runs $19+/user/mo — about $228 per year, every year. Self-hosted proposal builder with pricing tables, open tracking and click-to-sign acceptance. It is for people who want the job done on their own hardware without a renewal date — not for teams that live inside Proposify's ecosystem.
The verdict
Switch to Pitchcraft if you are an individual or small team paying Proposify $19+/user/mo for work your own machine can do. Costs less than one month of either subscription — for three seats, that's $684 a year you keep.
Stay with Proposify if your workflow depends on its integrations, you need enterprise features (SSO, admin controls, SLAs), or your team is large enough that per-seat collaboration tooling is worth the bill. Pitchcraft does not try to replicate those.

Where Proposify still wins
- Ecosystem and integrations. Established tools accumulate years of third-party integrations, templates and add-ons. If your workflow is wired into Proposify's ecosystem, switching means rebuilding that plumbing — a real cost.
- Team and enterprise features. Shared workspaces, granular permissions, SSO, audit logs and a vendor to call when something breaks — that is what the higher subscription tiers actually buy, and a pay-once app does not come with it.
- Familiarity and hiring. Proposify is the name people already know. Onboarding a team onto a tool nobody has used before takes time the subscription never charges for.
Where Pitchcraft wins
- Price, permanently. $29 once versus $228/yr for as long as you use it. There is no renewal, no seat count and no tier gate.
- Block-based builder. Cover, text, pricing table, terms, testimonial and image blocks that you drag to reorder.
- 6 starter templates. Web design, marketing retainer, consulting, video production, freelance dev, or blank.
- Pricing tables with add-ons. Mark line items optional and your client toggles them on the live page, watching the total update before they sign.
The math
Costs less than one month of either subscription — for three seats, that's $684 a year you keep.
- After 1 year: Pitchcraft has cost you $29 total — Proposify has cost $228.
- After 3 years: Pitchcraft is still $29 — the subscription is at $684.
- After 5 years: Pitchcraft is still $29 — the subscription is at $1,140.
Common questions
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Pitchcraft is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/proposal-generator-mvp. The $29 buys the packaged Windows installer and updates; building from source is free.
Where does my proposal data live?
On your server. Pitchcraft is self-hosted in a SQLite file you can back up with cp — no per-seat pricing and no third-party cloud.
Does it replace Proposify entirely?
No, and we say so. If you need enterprise e-signature compliance, CRM sync and approval workflows, the subscriptions earn their fee. For sending proposals, tracking reads and collecting a signed yes, Pitchcraft does that once.
