Wonderly vs. Better Proposals
Better Proposals says 'cancel any time.' Customers say otherwise.
Their pricing page promises one-click cancellation. Reddit and Trustpilot tell a different story: forced emails, no confirmation, billing disputes. The gap between the marketing and the experience is where churn happens. That's why we built Wonderly.

Why people switch
Three things Better Proposals customers figure out after they've already committed.
-
Better Proposals doesn't include phone, texting, or scheduling.
Better Proposals is a proposal tool. That's it. You still need separate software for phone calls, texting customers, booking appointments, and managing your pipeline. Their pricing page doesn't include phone or SMS because they don't offer them. You'll pay for those separately — and connect them yourself.
Wonderly includes phone, SMS, email, scheduling, and CRM in one platform. 10,000 credits included at $395/month, no separate tools to buy or connect.
-
Monthly send limits mean you pay more as you grow.
Better Proposals caps how many proposals you can send each month. The $13/month Starter plan allows 10 proposals. Need to send more? You'll pay $29/month for Premium to get 50 sends, or upgrade to Enterprise for unlimited. Add the $10/month Nudge feature for follow-ups, and your bill climbs fast.
Wonderly charges $395/month flat. No send limits, no per-proposal fees, no surprise charges when you close more deals.
-
Canceling requires emailing support with no confirmation.
Better Proposals advertises 'cancel any time,' but customer reports show you must email their team to cancel — there's no self-service button. You won't get confirmation of when the cancellation takes effect, and billing disputes follow.
Wonderly does not require annual contracts. Cancel anytime from your account settings, effective immediately, with instant confirmation.

Feature details
Here's a detailed look at Wonderly's features.
We know unpredictable pricing is stressful — that's why ALL AI features (Receptionist, Text, Automations) are included in one flat rate of $395/mo after the first 14 days. No surprises, ever.
The elephant in the room
But Better Proposals is built specifically for proposals
Better Proposals does one thing well — it makes your proposals look professional and tracks engagement. But a polished proposal doesn't help if the lead went cold three days ago because no one followed up, or if they never booked a call because your scheduling link was buried in an email thread.
The businesses switching to Wonderly aren't looking for a better way to send proposals. They're looking to capture more leads, respond faster, and close deals before the proposal stage even matters — because half their revenue walks away in the 48 hours before they hit send.
Here's the real question: Do you need a better proposal tool, or do you need to stop losing leads before they ever see a proposal?
The math doesn't lie.

FAQs
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Better Proposals
Wonderly replaces your proposal software, CRM, business phone, texting platform, website builder, scheduling tool, email system, and project management software in one platform. Better Proposals only handles proposals and basic email notifications — you'd still need Calendly for scheduling ($8-12/month), RingCentral for phone ($20-30/month), Mailchimp for email marketing ($10-20/month), Monday.com for project management ($8-16/month), and a website builder like Squarespace ($12-18/month). That's $58-96/month in additional tools, plus the time to connect them all. With Wonderly, everything works together from day one because it's built as one platform, not a collection of separate tools held together with duct tape.
Picture this: you're under a kitchen sink fixing a leak when a new lead calls. With Wonderly, the AI Receptionist answers, asks the right questions, qualifies the lead, and books them into your calendar while you're still working. Then AI SMS sends follow-up texts automatically to keep them engaged until you can call back. Better Proposals has no business phone system and no texting capability — when that lead calls, it goes to voicemail. When they don't hear back in an hour, they call your competitor. You lose the lead because you were doing the job you're already getting paid for.
Most agencies charge $5,000 setup plus $2,000/month to manage multiple tools, and 90% do a terrible job. Wonderly's AI onboarding builds your website, sets up your CRM, configures your business phone, creates your booking system, and launches your automations in about 20 minutes. Better Proposals users consistently report that setup is 'fiddly' and complex — even simple tasks like adding a logo can be 'impossible' according to G2 reviews. Since Better Proposals only handles proposals, you'd still need to set up and connect 6-8 other tools separately. With Wonderly, there's nothing to connect because it's one platform.
Wonderly does not require annual contracts. Cancel anytime with one click from your account settings. Better Proposals advertises 'cancel anytime' on their pricing page, but multiple customers on Reddit and Trustpilot report you actually have to email support to cancel, with no confirmation when it will be processed. One Reddit user noted they 'completely go against the FTC's Click-To-Cancel law.' Their help documentation shows a self-service cancellation flow, but real customers say it doesn't work. When you're ready to leave, you shouldn't have to beg permission or wait for someone to respond to your email.
Once you close a deal in Wonderly, the project kicks off automatically with tasks, timelines, team assignments, and a client portal where customers can see progress and upload documents. Better Proposals stops at the signature — it's purely proposal software with no project management capabilities. After your customer signs, you're back to managing the job with spreadsheets, sticky notes, or buying another tool like Monday.com ($8-16/month per user). Most contractors don't realize they need project management until they're juggling five jobs and losing track of what's due when. Wonderly handles the entire customer journey from first call to final invoice, not just the proposal phase.
