WHAT A PLAN DOES NOT COVER
The plan is the start of the bill, not the end of it.
What Bidsketch prices separately, beside what a Calisto proposal already carries.
Users by the plan
Bidsketch plans cover up to one, three or eight users, paid monthly or for the year. Calisto has no team size; anyone in the account sends.
Signatures above the starter plan
The starter plan has no electronic signatures. Every Calisto proposal carries its signature, and every signer, inside its one charge.
Versions and change orders
Calisto keeps every version of a proposal with a price comparison between any two, and raises change orders against an accepted proposal.
Honest answers
Leaving Bidsketch
Do my proposals move across?
Sent and signed proposals stay with Bidsketch, with their signatures. Export them before you close the account. Templates rebuild in the block editor, and every proposal you send from Calisto keeps its own version history.
Can I get out of my current contract?
Upload the contract from the offer above. We read the term, the fees and the notice period, and hold what leaving costs you as credit in your Calisto wallet. Cancel, show us the proof, and it is released. A person reviews some claims, such as a contract in another currency.
What does a proposal cost?
The pricing section on this page reads the live catalogue and is the authority on the figure. A proposal is charged once, when it first reaches your client. The signature, every signer, reminders, re-sends and new versions are inside that charge. Quotes cost nothing.
Is anything charged on top?
Two things, both stated plainly. A government ID check on a signer is its own product, priced per check. A change order signed after the proposal is accepted is its own envelope, charged as Calisto Sign.
What does Bidsketch do that Calisto Proposals does not?
The table above says so plainly. Your own domain and a public API are theirs; the deal, the price book and the payment the proposal belongs to are ours.
