View template

A template is the start. The send is what closes.

Every template here becomes a live proposal in ApeiroCraft: your client opens a link, you see the moment it happens, they sign on the page, and the line items flow into an invoice without retyping. The follow-up that wins the deal stops being a guess.

  • Read tracking — know when it's opened, re-opened, and forwarded
  • Tamper-evident e-signature on the proposal itself, no printing
  • Accepted proposal → invoice in one click, same line items
  • Free plan includes proposal sending, no credit card

Proposal templates, answered.

Are these proposal templates really free?

Yes. Every section, example, and tip is on the page — copy whatever you want. Using them inside ApeiroCraft is also free: the free plan includes proposal sending with tracked links and e-signature, no credit card required.

What makes a proposal template actually convert?

Structure that answers the client's silent questions in order: do you understand my problem, what exactly will I get, when, for how much, and what happens if I say yes. Every template here follows that arc, with example copy for each section.

Should I send proposals as PDFs or links?

Links convert better. You see when the proposal is opened and re-opened (so follow-ups are timed, not guessed), the client signs on the page instead of printing, and the accepted proposal becomes an invoice without retyping.

Can I customize a template for my industry?

Every template is a starting structure — replace the example copy with your specifics. If your field isn't listed, the consulting template is the most adaptable skeleton: problem, approach, deliverables, timeline, investment, signature.
