What's included

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Smart estimates from history

Proposal templates

See all 9 features

Built-in e-signatures

Clients approve and sign directly on the proposal page. No third-party signature tool needed. Legally binding with full audit trail.

Line items with cost and markup

Add labor, materials, and expenses as line items. Set cost and markup per line to see your margin before the client does.

Milestone timelines

Attach milestones to proposals with relative due dates. When the proposal is accepted, milestones sync to your project schedule automatically.

Proposal-to-project conversion

One click turns an accepted proposal into a live project. Line items, milestones, event date, and client details all carry over.

Deposit and payment scheduling

Require a deposit on acceptance. Set payment schedule milestones — 50% upfront, 25% at proof, 25% on delivery — whatever fits your workflow.

Expiry and reminders

Set an expiration date on proposals. Clearmargin tracks pending proposals and nudges you when follow-up is overdue.

Frequently asked questions

Can clients approve proposals without creating an account?+

Yes. Clients receive a shareable link to a branded proposal page. They can review line items, timeline, and terms — then approve and sign — all without creating an account or downloading anything.

How do smart estimates work?+

When you add line items, Clearmargin suggests pricing from your catalog and past proposals for similar work. You always set the final price — the suggestions just save you from looking it up.

What happens when a proposal is accepted?+

One click converts it to a live project. Line items become your project scope, milestones sync to your schedule, and the client record is linked. If you configured a deposit, the payment schedule is created automatically.

Can I see my profit margin before sending?+

Yes. Every line item has a cost field and a client-facing price. Clearmargin shows your margin per line and for the proposal total, so you know exactly what you will earn before the client ever sees it.
