What Prospero prices separately, beside what a Calisto proposal already carries.
The rate, times every member
Prospero's monthly rate multiplies by each team member, and 25 members is custom pricing. A Calisto proposal is charged once, however many people helped write it.
Approval before it goes out
Calisto holds a proposal at or above your approval amount for internal review before it can be sent. Prospero's feature list does not include approvals.
Interest by option
Prospero tracks opens and how long a proposal was open. Calisto shows the time on each page and how long each option tier was in view.
Calisto Proposals is priced per proposal. Never per seat.

Leaving Prospero
Sent and signed proposals stay with Prospero, 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.
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.
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.
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.
The table above says so plainly. Scheduled follow-up reminders and AI writing are theirs; the deal, the price book, the approval and the payment the proposal belongs to are ours.
