Comparison

Quixli vs Qwilr

The closest comparison of the two on this site — both send proposals as a web page rather than a PDF.

What Qwilr does better

  • Qwilr has been doing this longer, with a larger template library and a more established brand.
  • It offers acceptance and signing inside the document. Quixli has no electronic signature.
  • It integrates with CRMs and other tools. Quixli integrates with nothing.

Where Quixli is different

What the analytics actually tell you

Quixli reports attention per section — which parts held it, which were skipped, and whether the reader came back a day later — rather than a total time on the page.

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.

The documents after the proposal

Scopes of work, client reports, runbooks and architecture notes, with diagrams, code blocks and synced blocks — one tool rather than two.

A free plan without a card

Not a trial that expires — a plan you can stay on.

Diagrams and embeds, without the screenshot loop

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 Qwilr’s own pricing page alongside ours.

Choose Qwilr if…

Choose Qwilr if the proposal has to be accepted and signed in the same page, or if it must connect to your CRM. Both are things it does and Quixli does not.

Choose Quixli if…

Choose Quixli if you want to know which section they stopped on rather than how long the page was open, and if the scope of work, the report and the handover documentation should live in the same place as the proposal.

Questions

Is Quixli a Qwilr alternative?

For sending proposals as a tracked web page, yes. For accepting and signing them in the document, no — Quixli has no signature.

What is the difference in the analytics?

Quixli attributes time to individual sections and reports what was skipped and whether the reader returned later, so the follow-up can be about the part they hesitated on.
