For freelancers

Free proposal software for freelancers

Unpaper’s free plan stays available after you send your first proposal. You get 3 live proposals, every template, open tracking, and a small Unpaper credit on the client page and in emails. A proposal is live once you’ve sent it, until it’s accepted, marked lost, or it expires.

Unpaper suits you if

  • You want a free plan you can keep, with 3 live proposals.
  • You want every template, and a note when a client opens the proposal.
  • You can send the proposal without an e-signature or a payment on the page.

You may want another tool if

  • You need a free plan built around e-signatures. That’s what PandaDoc’s free plan is for.
  • You need to take payment inside the proposal. Unpaper doesn’t do that.
