Why do teams switch from Proposify to ShareDoc?
"The per-seat pricing kills our margins"
Proposify's Team plan costs $41-49 per user per month. A 10-person sales team pays $410-490/month just for proposal tracking. With ShareDoc, that same team pays $29/month total for Pro features—or nothing at all for basic tracking. Recent reviews specifically mention feeling "held hostage" by restrictive pricing[11].
"We need to track more than just proposals"
Sales teams share case studies, whitepapers, contracts, and pricing sheets—not just proposals. Proposify only tracks documents created within their platform. ShareDoc tracks any PDF you already have, instantly. Upload once, track forever.
"The software keeps crashing and support is slow"
2026-2026 reviews consistently mention bugs, freezes, and lost work[13]—especially after version 2.0. Users report next-day chat responses and unhelpful support. ShareDoc is simple by design: upload PDF, get link, see who reads it. Nothing to crash.
"The 5-proposal limit is ridiculous"
Proposify's Basic plan limits you to 5 active proposals at once. Send a 6th? Delete an old one first. Their download windows expire after 5 days too. ShareDoc has no limits—track unlimited PDFs, keep tracking data forever, download anytime.
When is Proposify actually the better choice?
Proposify wins if you need a complete proposal creation system. They offer professional templates, drag-and-drop editors, content libraries, and native e-signatures. If your team builds complex, multi-section proposals from scratch and needs prospects to sign within the document, Proposify handles that entire workflow.
They also excel at team collaboration on proposal creation—multiple people can work on sections simultaneously, with version control and approval workflows. Their CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive) sync proposal activity directly to deal records.
Bottom line: If you're building proposals from templates and need e-signatures, Proposify is purpose-built for that. If you're sharing existing PDFs and need to know who reads them, ShareDoc does it free in 30 seconds.
How long does it take to switch from Proposify?
That's it. No templates to learn, no team onboarding, no per-seat setup. Your existing PDFs work instantly.
