WHAT A SEAT DOES NOT COVER
The seat is the start of the bill, not the end of it.
What Better Proposals prices separately, beside what a Calisto proposal already carries.
The seat itself
Every Better Proposals sender is a seat, and Starter allows only one. A Calisto proposal is charged once, when it reaches the client, whoever in the account sent it.
The send past the limit
Starter carries 10 sends a month and Premium 50. Unlimited sending starts on Enterprise. Calisto has no send limit at all.
Approvals on the top plan
Manager approvals sit on Enterprise. Calisto holds any proposal at or above your approval amount for internal review before it can be sent, on every proposal.
Honest answers
Leaving Better Proposals
Do my proposals move across?
Sent and signed proposals stay with Better Proposals, 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 Better Proposals do that Calisto Proposals does not?
The table above says so plainly. Scheduled follow-ups, clients switching optional items, your own domain, a public API and native CRM connectors are theirs; the deal, the price book and the payment the proposal belongs to are ours.
