Proposify is built around a sales team and its pipeline. Quixli is built around one document and what happened to it.
Attention per section, not per proposal
Quixli reports which sections held attention and for how long, what was skipped, and whether the reader came back on a later day — the level at which you decide what to say next.
One tool past the proposal
The scope of work, the client report, the runbook and the handover pack are the same kind of document here, with the same tracking, rather than something you move to another tool for.
Stated limits
Quixli says in the product and in its privacy policy that it measures what was on screen, not whether anyone read it, and every recipient can see what is recorded from a link on the document.
A free plan without a card
Not a trial that expires — a plan you can stay on while you decide.
Putting a large diagram in a document usually means drawing it somewhere else, exporting a PNG, uploading it, and doing the whole loop again when one arrow moves. In Quixli the diagram is an element with an editor behind it, and the same is true of the things you would otherwise screenshot.
Mermaid diagrams
flowcharts, sequences and architecture, written as text and rendered live — edit a line, not the image
Excalidraw drawings
sketched inside the document, and still editable a month later
Charts
built from a data grid with a live preview, not pasted from a spreadsheet
Project timelines
a real Gantt view rather than a picture of one
Figma embeds
the frame itself, which updates when the file does
Google Docs and Sheets
embedded and readable in place
PDFs and file attachments
read inside the document instead of downloaded
YouTube, Vimeo and Loom
the walkthrough plays where it is relevant
Code blocks and formulas
syntax highlighting and maths, for the documents that need them
Markdown, in and out
paste it straight into the editor and it becomes real headings, tables and code blocks — or import a .md file, or export the document back out as one

No prices are compared here on purpose: both change, and a stale figure would be worse than none. Check Proposify’s own pricing page alongside ours.
Choose Proposify if a sales team needs signing, a shared content library, approval steps before a proposal goes out, and reporting across the whole pipeline. Quixli does none of those.
Choose Quixli if you are the person writing the document rather than managing a team of people who write them, and what you want back is which part they stopped on — and if the scope, the report and the handover should live in the same place.
For writing and sending a tracked proposal, yes. For signing it, running approvals and reporting across a sales pipeline, no — those are what Proposify is for.
No. It has five templates and synced blocks, which keep a passage identical across the documents that use it — useful, but not the same thing as a managed library with approvals.
Attention at the level of an individual section, plus what was skipped and whether the reader returned on a later day.
Or start from a ready-made template.
