What to check before choosing a tool
| Criterion | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Time to first draft | Blank-page delay loses momentum. |
| Scope clarity | Prevents confused expectations. |
| Export options | Some clients still want PDF or DOCX. |
| Price | Freelancers need tools that fit irregular cash flow. |
| Editing control | AI output still needs human review. |
| Billing trust | You should be able to cancel without friction. |
Where smpl.proposals fits
smpl.proposals is a narrow proposal generator, not a full sales suite. That is the point. It is for freelancers who want the proposal written quickly, not teams who need a complex CRM.
