When Draftly is the better choice
- You work alone and the price of a sales-team tool is hard to justify.
- You want the whole proposal drafted from a brief inside the product.
- You want a free plan to try on real clients.
- A clear document suits your clients better than an interactive sales page.
When Qwilr is the better choice
- You want interactive quotes where clients pick options and see the price update.
- You want clients to sign and pay in the same place.
- Your proposals should sync with HubSpot, Pipedrive or Salesforce.
- A sales team needs shared branding, automations and reporting.
What Draftly doesn't do

- No CRM or other integrations.
- One account, no team seats, roles or approval workflows.
- The AI writes a first draft. You still need to check the scope and the numbers before sending.
