A Qwilr alternative when the quote is already written
Qwilr turns proposals and quotes into interactive web pages, called Qwilr Pages, that a buyer reads, accepts, signs and can pay from. It's built for sales teams who want their proposal to sell. SignMaster is built for a narrower job: getting a document you've already written signed, by one person or several, remotely or across a table. Here's how they compare, from Qwilr's own pages as of November 2026.

Qwilr's plans
Qwilr's pricing page lists three plans, priced per user. Starter is $35 a user a month billed annually, or $49 billed monthly, and includes e-sign, analytics, QwilrPay, HubSpot, Zoho and Pipedrive integrations and an AI assistant connection. Growth is $55 a user a month with a five-user minimum, and Scale $75 with a ten-user minimum; both are billed annually only. A 14-day Starter trial needs no card.
- Branding, automations and identity verification are Growth features, along with a dedicated customer success manager and Microsoft Dynamics.
- Salesforce, conditional content and AI Prefill are on Scale.
- Payments cost extra per transaction. Stripe's processing fees apply, and Qwilr adds an application fee of 0.09% per transaction on Starter and none on Growth or Scale.
- The API is on every plan with usage costs, and Qwilr says document creation by API carries fees.
- Your pages stay live 30 days after a trial ends, but you lose access to the account.
How signing works in each
In Qwilr, the buyer signs on the Qwilr Page itself, on a computer, phone or tablet, by typing or drawing a signature. Several buyers can sign the same page, you can require signatures or initials on specific clauses, and when it's signed both sides get an email with a downloadable audit trail. With QwilrPay, the buyer can pay a deposit or set up a subscription as they accept.
In SignMaster, you start from a PDF: an estimate exported from your quoting tool, a contract from your lawyer, or a page you scan. Signers get a private link, fill in their fields, and everyone receives the signed PDF with a certificate of completion. There's no web-page proposal, no reading analytics and no payment step.

What five people pay
Five users on Qwilr Starter cost $175 a month billed annually, $2,100 a year, or $245 month to month. Growth, the first plan with your own branding, is $275 a month for its five-user minimum, $3,300 a year paid up front. SignMaster Crew is $490 a year for 5 people with branding included, but it won't build or track the proposal.
Where Qwilr is the better choice
- Your proposal has to sell. Qwilr builds a designed, interactive web page instead of a PDF, with your pricing, media and story on it. That is the whole point of the product.
- You want to watch the deal. Analytics come with every plan, and Qwilr can tell you by email or Slack when a buyer signs, or starts signing and stops.
- You want the deposit on acceptance. QwilrPay takes card, ACH, direct debit or wallet payments, deposits and subscriptions in the same step. SignMaster doesn't collect payments.
- Your pipeline lives in a CRM. Starter connects to HubSpot, Zoho and Pipedrive; Scale adds Salesforce.
Who shouldn't switch
Sales teams that win deals on presentation, track engagement in their CRM and close with a payment should stay on Qwilr or a proposal tool like it. SignMaster would replace the last click and none of the selling.
Who SignMaster fits better
Businesses whose quote is already done when it's time to sign: contractors with estimating software, cleaning and landscaping companies with a price sheet, agencies with a statement of work in a document. Upload the PDF, add signature and initials fields, and send it to the customer's phone, or hand over your iPad with in-person signing.
If you'd like the customer to fill in quantities, a template can add up a total with calculated fields. Crew pricing covers 5 people, so the office and the field can both send without a seat count.
Questions? Answers.
Does Qwilr include e-signatures?
Yes, on every plan. Buyers sign on the Qwilr Page with a typed or drawn signature, and both sides get an audit trail by email.
Can SignMaster take a deposit like QwilrPay?
No. SignMaster doesn't collect payments. Send the invoice from your accounting or payment tool once the signed quote comes back.
Is there a free Qwilr plan?
No. Qwilr offers a 14-day trial of Starter with no card. SignMaster has a Free plan with 3 envelopes a month and a 14-day Crew trial.
Can SignMaster tell me if a customer opened my quote?
SignMaster shows where each envelope stands and can send reminders until it's signed. It doesn't measure reading time the way Qwilr's analytics do.
Where do the Qwilr figures come from?
