Every European proposal and quote-management tool reviewed
Breda, Netherlands
Founded 2010
From €12.50/month, published tiers
14-day free trial
Best for: Small and mid-size sales teams that want a dedicated, transparently priced proposal tool with unlimited sends from the entry tier
Offorte is a proposal-software company based in Breda, in the south of the Netherlands, and has built nothing else since it was founded in 2010 — the entire product is a proposal editor, not a quoting module bolted onto a broader CRM.
Pricing is published rather than quote-only: the Standard plan is €12.50 a month for one user, 200 products in the library and unlimited proposals, while Premium scales in blocks of five users from €49 a month (€390 a year) for five users to €98 a month (€780 a year) for ten, with a library of 2,000-plus products.
The editor covers interactive content blocks, a native digital signature, PDF export, an AI Textwriter for drafting copy, custom design and branding, statistics and read tracking, a reusable content library with version management, a media browser and client-facing input forms.
Premium adds a custom domain and email domain, trend and insight reporting, automations and reminders, account sharing with user permissions, and a technical API with webhooks; a Zapier connection covers integration with roughly 1,300 other systems rather than named native CRM connectors.
The trade-off for approachable, published pricing is that Offorte does not publish any named security certification — its own site describes hosting only as secure Amsterdam-based servers over SSL with daily backups, which is thinner than the ISO 27001 or SOC 2 claims some competitors lead with.
Premium's five-user pricing blocks also mean a team of six pays for a sixth seat it barely uses. For a small or mid-size sales team that wants a dedicated, transparently priced proposal tool with unlimited sends from the entry tier, it remains one of the most accessible starting points in this category.
What Offorte does well
- Dedicated proposal software since 2010 — not a quoting module bolted onto a broader CRM or ERP suite
- Published pricing starting at €12.50/month with unlimited proposals from the entry tier
- 14-day free trial with no credit card required
- AI Textwriter, native digital signature and PDF export included from the Standard plan
Where Offorte falls short
- No named security certification (ISO 27001, SOC 2) published — hosting is described only as “secure servers in Amsterdam”
- Premium tier pricing scales in blocks of five users rather than true per-seat billing
- No named native CRM or e-signature-platform integrations; relies on Zapier and its own API for connections
Standout feature. Unlimited proposals from the €12.50/month Standard tier — most competitors in this category cap proposal volume even on an entry plan.
Stavanger, Norway
Founded Not stated precisely by the vendor; marketing copy cites “25+ years in business”
Quoted on request; no published tiers
No free trial; demo only
Best for: Large organisations managing high-stakes, high-volume tender or RFP responses across many contributors
Xait is a Norwegian proposal-software company headquartered in Stavanger, with additional offices in the UK, US and France. Its flagship product, XaitPorter, is built for a specific job most tools in this category do not attempt: large, multi-author RFP and proposal documents with dozens of contributors working in the same file at once, aimed squarely at energy and renewables, government contracting, construction and manufacturing organisations that respond to complex tenders.
The platform is cloud-based co-authoring with section-level permissions, automated formatting and numbering that stays consistent as sections are edited independently, section-specific change logs with the ability to revert to earlier versions, an AI-powered content library for reusing approved organisational content across proposals, and customisable section workflows with task monitoring, deadlines and commenting. None of this is aimed at a five-minute one-page quote; it is built for proposal teams, not individual sales reps.
There is no published pricing anywhere on the site, and no advertised free trial — every engagement starts with a scheduled demo, which is standard for enterprise RFP software but a real friction point next to Offorte's self-serve, published-price model. For a large organisation managing high-stakes, high-volume tender responses across many contributors, that enterprise sales process buys a purpose-built tool that generic proposal editors are not designed to match.
What Xait does well
- Purpose-built for large, complex, multi-author RFP and proposal documents rather than simple one-page quotes
- Long track record in the RFP-writing space — the vendor states 25+ years in business
- AI-powered content library for reusing approved organisational content across proposals
- Section-level permissions and change logs suited to teams with dozens of contributors
Where Xait falls short
- No published pricing anywhere; every deal starts with a demo request
- No free trial advertised
- Built for enterprise-scale RFP response — overkill for a small sales team sending straightforward quotes
Standout feature. Cloud-based co-authoring purpose-built for large, multi-contributor RFP documents — a niche none of the self-serve proposal tools in this category directly compete in.
La Rochelle, France
Founded 2009
From €39/user/month (annual billing), published tiers
15-day free trial
Best for: French or EU-based SMEs that want quotes, e-signature and invoicing to live in one system with a published price
Sellsy is a French CRM and invoicing platform headquartered in La Rochelle, with additional offices in Bordeaux and Barcelona, founded in 2009 and now describing itself as run by more than 150 staff serving over 50,000 users.
Quotes (devis) and e-signature sit inside its combined Sales & Invoicing product across three published tiers: Standard at €39 a user a month billed annually (€47 billed monthly), Evolution at €59 a month annually (€71 monthly), and Elite at €99 a month annually (€119 monthly), all excluding VAT.
Every tier includes quote creation, quote templates, read tracking and one-click conversion from an accepted quote straight into an invoice, which tightens the whole sell-to-bill cycle into a single product rather than a handoff between separate tools. Electronic signature is included at every tier too, but capped by plan — 50 signatures a year on Standard, 200 on Evolution and 500 on Elite — so it is not unlimited even at the top of the range.
There is no permanent free plan, only a 15-day trial, and the quote-and-signature functionality is only available bundled with the rest of Sellsy's CRM and invoicing suite — it cannot be bought as a standalone quoting tool. For a French or EU-based SME that wants quotes, e-signature and invoicing to live in one system with a published price per user, that bundling is the point rather than a drawback.
What Sellsy does well
- Published per-tier pricing across all three plans, in EUR and excluding VAT
- One-click quote-to-invoice conversion ties the whole sell-to-bill cycle into a single product
- Founded 2009, with 150+ staff and 50,000+ users claimed by the vendor
- E-signature included at every tier rather than sold as a separate add-on
Where Sellsy falls short
- No permanent free plan — only a 15-day trial
- Electronic signatures are capped per year even on the top Elite tier (500/year)
- Quoting is bundled with the full CRM and invoicing suite — not sold as a standalone quote tool
Standout feature. One-click conversion from an accepted quote straight into an invoice, with e-signature included at every published tier rather than gated behind an add-on.
Groningen, Netherlands
Founded 2014
From €24.50/user/month, published tiers
14-day free trial
Best for: Dutch or EU service businesses that want quotes tied directly to project delivery and billing in one system
Simplicate is a Dutch service-business platform founded in 2014 and based in Groningen, with a second office in Amsterdam. Rather than selling quoting as a standalone product, it bundles a custom-styled quote editor (“offertes in eigen huisstijl”) into a full service-business suite covering CRM, sales, projects, hours, invoicing and HR, published across three tiers: Organize at €24.50 a user a month, Rise at €26, and Optimize at €27, each with a 15% discount for annual billing.
The quote editor itself is included in every tier rather than gated behind the top plan, and quotes flow directly into the rest of the platform — an accepted quote can move straight into project delivery, time tracking and invoicing without leaving the system. What separates the tiers is mostly reporting depth and support: Rise adds advanced reporting, productivity targets and price agreements, while Optimize adds a dedicated customer success manager, priority support and industry benchmarking.
Because quoting is one module inside a broader PSA/CRM suite rather than the product itself, Simplicate is not a fit for a team that only wants a dedicated proposal tool — and the three tiers sit close together in price (€24.50 to €27 a user a month), with the real differentiation happening in support and reporting rather than in the quoting feature set.
For a Dutch or EU service business that wants quotes tied directly to project delivery and billing in one system, that bundling is the appeal.
What Simplicate does well
- Quote editor included in every tier, not gated behind a premium plan
- Transparent per-user pricing published for all three tiers
- 14-day free trial with no credit card required
- Quotes flow directly into project delivery, time tracking and invoicing in the same suite
Where Simplicate falls short
- Not a dedicated proposal tool — quoting is one module inside a broader PSA/CRM suite
- The three pricing tiers sit close together (€24.50 to €27/user/month), with differentiation mostly in reporting and support rather than quoting features
- No named security certification published on the pages reviewed
Standout feature. A custom-styled quote editor included in every tier of a full service-business suite, so an accepted quote moves straight into project delivery and invoicing without switching tools.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Founded 2013
Quoted on request; no published tiers
No free trial found
Best for: Marketing or enablement teams that need consistent, on-brand interactive proposals across a large sales organisation
Foleon is an Amsterdam-based content platform, founded in 2013, with a second office in Brooklyn, New York; the Amsterdam office is its headquarters. Rather than being a dedicated quote tool, it builds interactive “Foleon Docs” — branded, scrollable digital documents — and names “Proposals” as one of its core use cases alongside buyer-enablement content, decks and microsites, which is a broader and more marketing-driven take on this category than the other tools reviewed here.
The product spans four tiers — Grow, Scale, Team and Enterprise — plus separate agency plans, and every tier is priced on request; none of the numbers are published.
Features scale from professional templates and a limited Brand Kit on Grow, through advanced personalization on Scale, to unlimited reviewers on Team and workflow governance tools on Enterprise. The vendor states more than 1,100 active customers and over 130,000 Foleon Docs published, though those are figures Foleon reports about itself rather than independently verified numbers.
There is no published pricing anywhere and no free trial or free plan found on the pages checked, which makes Foleon the least transparent tool in this category to budget for, and it is a heavier, more design-oriented platform than a team needs if all it wants is a simple quote sender. For a marketing or enablement team that wants consistent, on-brand interactive proposals across a large sales organisation, the governance and personalization tooling is the actual selling point.
What Foleon does well
- Explicitly names “Proposals” as a core use case rather than treating quoting as an afterthought
- Brand Kit and governance tools aimed at large marketing/sales teams keeping proposal branding consistent
- Unlimited reviewers from the Team tier removes a common bottleneck in proposal sign-off
- Established since 2013, with 1,100+ active customers claimed by the vendor
Where Foleon falls short
- Fully quote-only pricing across all four tiers — no published numbers anywhere, not even an entry price
- No free trial or free plan found on the pages reviewed
- A broader interactive-content platform, so it is a heavier tool than teams need for simple quote sending
Standout feature. Unlimited reviewers and Brand Kit governance from the Team tier up, built for large marketing and sales organisations that need every proposal to stay on-brand, not for a solo rep sending a single quote.
