How does GetAccept stack up against Qwilr for proposals?

You’ve had the call, nailed the demo, and sent the proposal.

Your champion’s excited. Then… silence.

Was it the price? The timing? Or did your proposal simply lose momentum the moment it left your hands?

Proposals aren’t just documents - they’re the handshake, the pitch, and the proof of value all rolled into one. But how you deliver them can be the difference between “we’re ready to move forward” and “we’ll get back to you next quarter.”

Some revenue teams will be deciding between GetAccept and Qwilr - two modern platforms that replace static PDFs with something more interactive. On paper, they look similar. In reality, they take very different approaches to helping sales teams win.

In this guide, we’ll break down how each platform works, where they shine, and what to consider before choosing the right proposal software for your team.

The big picture: different tools for different jobs

Qwilr is built with a designer’s eye. Its strength lies in beautiful, web-based proposals that feel like custom microsites. You can create visually striking experiences that wow prospects from the first scroll.

GetAccept is built for deal momentum. While it still delivers a polished proposal, its true power is in the layers of sales enablement it adds on top - engagement tracking, mutual action plans, in-document chat, compliance features, and CRM automation.

Think of it like this:

• Qwilr is a premium presentation layer.
  
  
• GetAccept is a sales closing platform that happens to include a strong presentation layer.

Once you understand their core philosophies, the real differences start to show in how each platform handles the proposal itself - from the way it’s created to the way it’s delivered.

How GetAccept and Qwilr compare across the sales cycle

While both platforms aim to replace outdated PDFs with more dynamic, interactive proposals, they approach the sales cycle very differently. Here’s how they stack up at each stage - from creation to close.

1. Proposal creation & design

Both GetAccept and Qwilr agree on one thing - static PDFs belong in the past. Instead, they let you create dynamic, web-based proposals that are easy to share and update. But the similarity ends there.

Qwilr leans hard into aesthetics. Its platform is built to help you create proposals that look like polished web pages or brand microsites. If design is part of your pitch - think creative agencies, marketing consultancies, or high-end design studios - this visual impact can be a selling point in itself.

GetAccept takes a more pragmatic approach. The proposal builder is still clean, customizable, and brand-friendly - but speed and usability come first. 

Sales reps can generate professional, on-brand proposals in minutes without looping in a designer for every change. That matters when you’re juggling multiple deals and tight timelines.

In short:

• Choose Qwilr if “wow” factor in presentation is your primary lever.
  
  
• Choose GetAccept if you need fast, scalable creation without sacrificing professionalism.

Of course, a great-looking proposal is only the first step. What happens after you hit send is where many deals are won - or quietly lost.

2. Sales process integration

The sales process is where the two platforms diverge.

Qwilr shines at the proposal moment itself - you send a sleek, branded link, your prospect scrolls, they’re impressed. 

But after that? Qwilr steps back. You can see basic views and interactions, but the proposal remains a standalone asset. Chasing updates, looping in stakeholders, and managing approvals all happen elsewhere.

GetAccept treats the proposal as just the starting line. Opening a GetAccept link takes buyers into a Digital Sales Room - a shared space with every asset, timeline, and action plan for the deal. 

From one link, buyers can review proposals and contracts, chat with you in-document, follow a mutual action plan, and access compliance and legal files without inbox hunts.

For you, every view, click, and slow-down is tracked in real time - so there are fewer “black box” moments and more chances to keep momentum moving.

Good to know: GetAccept can be used alone or as a CRM integration.

3. Collaboration & stakeholder alignment

In smaller B2B deals, your champion can often decide or push things through alone. 

In enterprise sales, though, your proposal is likely to pass through finance, legal, procurement, and technical reviewers before it’s signed.

Qwilr handles collaboration simply - one shared link with basic commenting. Fine for small teams, but in complex deals, it can get messy fast: legal might be reviewing an outdated version, finance wants a different format, and your champion ends up relaying feedback manually.

GetAccept’s Digital Sales Room is built for multi-stakeholder selling. You can invite each person with specific permissions, keep comments tied to exact sections, ensure everyone sees the latest version automatically, and attach supporting docs in one place. 

The result? No chasing files, no version confusion, and no overworked champions - everyone stays aligned in real time.

4. Compliance & security readiness

This is where GetAccept pulls away from Qwilr.

Qwilr focuses on delivering a polished front-end experience, but compliance features like WCAG 2.1 accessibility, GDPR readiness, and secure audit trails aren’t its core strength. 

You can share content securely, but legal and procurement teams often require documents in different formats or with traceable version histories.

GetAccept builds compliance into the buying experience from day one. Proposals and attached documents are WCAG-compliant, GDPR-ready, and come with secure access controls and full audit trails. 

You can store, share, and update security questionnaires, NDAs, and procurement docs alongside the proposal - without switching tools.

But compliance is only one part of keeping deals on track. To truly stay ahead, you need to know not just if a proposal was opened, but how it’s being engaged with.

5. Real-time engagement tracking

Knowing if your proposal has been opened is good. Knowing how it’s been read is better. 

But knowing who read which section and for how long - that’s where sales teams win.

Qwilr gives you page view analytics, so you can see when your proposal is opened and which sections get attention. But it’s a lighter layer of insight - you won’t always know which stakeholders engaged or how activity maps to buying intent.

GetAccept offers granular engagement tracking. You can see:

• Who opened the proposal (name, role, and company email)
  
  
• Which pages or attachments they viewed - and for how long
  
  
• How engagement changes over time (e.g., legal diving into the DPA appendix for 12 minutes)

This isn’t just interesting data - it’s a playbook for your next move. You can follow up with the right person, at the right time, with the right context.

And as deals evolve - with new terms, pricing changes, or additional stakeholders - keeping everyone on the latest version can be the difference between smooth progress and stalled momentum.

6. Proposal updates & version control

In any live deal, the proposal you send at the start is rarely the one that gets signed.

Pricing gets adjusted, scope changes, terms are negotiated, and new stakeholders step in with their own requests. Every change is an opportunity for alignment - or confusion.

Qwilr allows you to edit a live proposal link, but bigger changes may mean rebuilding sections or issuing a new link. If multiple stakeholders have bookmarked old versions, those updates can easily slip through the cracks, causing delays and miscommunication.

GetAccept proposals are built as living documents. Any change - whether it’s a price tweak or a new contract clause - syncs instantly for every viewer. 

No resending, no “v7-final.pdf,” no chasing e-signatures on outdated files. And with a full audit trail, you can see exactly when updates were made and who’s viewed them, keeping everyone on the same page.

GetAccept vs Qwilr: At-a-glance comparison

Before you choose, it helps to see how these two platforms compare side-by-side - not just in features, but in the role they play in your sales motion:

Looking at the table, the distinction becomes clear: Qwilr is built to wow visually, while GetAccept is built to win deals faster - especially when multiple stakeholders, compliance requirements, and long buying cycles are involved.

Choosing the right fit for your organization

The shift from static PDFs to dynamic, interactive proposals isn’t slowing down. Buyers now expect clarity, collaboration, and compliance to be built into the buying experience - not bolted on at the end.

If your deals hinge on stunning, design-led proposals - and you’re selling into smaller buying groups - Qwilr is a great choice.

If your deals involve multiple stakeholders, compliance-heavy processes, and the need to track and influence momentum through to signature, GetAccept will give you the edge.

Both tools modernize proposals. The real question is whether you need a presentation tool or a sales closing platform - and whether your sales motion is ready for the next wave of buyer expectations.
