Compare Ignition vs proposal software

Ignition helps accounting firms and service-based businesses manage client engagements, automate billing, and collect payments securely. It streamlines workflows, ensuring you save time and get paid faster.

Yes, and it also gives you much more functionality. Ignition includes all the essentials of a modern proposal tool, like custom domains, branding, templates, embedded videos, embedded landing pages and slide decks, pricing options and service add-ons. But unlike most proposal software that stops at the signature, Ignition continues the journey. It automates billing, collects payments, manages renewals and handles price updates. It's designed to turn signed proposals into revenue with zero manual work.

Most businesses switch from platforms like GoProposal, Proposify, Qwilr, PandaDoc and Better Proposals. These tools focus on proposal creation, but often require additional systems for billing, payments or renewals. Ignition brings these functions into a single platform, helping teams save time, avoid errors and reduce their reliance on disconnected software.

Yes. Ignition integrates with QuickBooks and Xero so you can keep using your preferred accounting tools. At the same time, Ignition adds automation across the process. Once a proposal is accepted, it can automatically trigger invoicing and payment collection without you having to lift a finger. This reduces admin and helps you stay in control of your cash flow.

Ignition gives you tools to manage scope from day one. You can clearly outline what is included in each engagement, and set up service add-ons or options directly in the proposal. If new work comes up later, you can use Instant Bill to charge the client immediately. Ignition also automates billing, so you get paid on time and in full without relying on manual follow-ups.

Not at all. While many accounting firms use Ignition, the platform is built for any professional services business that works with clients on a recurring or project basis. That includes marketing agencies, consultants, creative teams, legal professionals, IT service providers and more. If you send proposals and want to get paid faster, Ignition is a great fit.
