I tried other proposal software and it was clunky.
Now I deliver proposals that actually impress clients, my conversion rate is up, and Anchor makes sure I get paid on the first of the month.

Reviews from QuickBooks Marketplace

“Proposals in under 60 secs, best support!”

“Once my templates were built out, I can have a proposal out the door in less than 60 seconds. The support and customer service are fantastic, one of the best in the software 'sphere' I work in.”

KariB, United States
Yes, I recommend this product.

"Perfect for any service based business"

Anchor has allowed me to provide clients the ability to choose the package that works for them while automatically collecting payment monthly.  It has removed me for collecting payment which has been a huge time saver as a solo firm runner."

KatieH, United States
 It's incredibly cost effective and easy to use.

"Amazing Proposal and Invoicing Tool"

Anchor has been awesome since we've started using it! I like that you can build out your templates, and send very professional and customizable proposals to clients. I've gotten great feedback from clients overall, and I like the different features Anchor has to offer. It's also very inexpensive and offers tremendous value.

FAQ

How long does it take to get started with Anchor?

Sign up and have a client agreement live the same day. No subscription, no sales call, no implementation project required. See how migration works on our client onboarding page.

How does Anchor's pricing compare to Aiwyn's?

Anchor charges one flat rate, $5 per successful payment, published on our site, with no monthly subscription. Aiwyn doesn't publish pricing; it's sold as a custom enterprise quote. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.

Does Anchor replace my practice management system?

No. Anchor connects natively to QuickBooks Online and Xero and posts billing and payment data back to your books; it's the billing and collections layer, not a replacement for your accounting system. Check out our full list of integrations.

How secure is client payment data on Anchor?

Anchor uses bank-level encryption and never stores card or bank-account details on its servers, with a full activity log visible to both firm and client. Read more on our data privacy and security page.

How does Anchor differ from Aiwyn?             

Anchor focuses on "agreement-first" upfront billing automation for small-to-midmarket firms, whereas Aiwyn is a complex, subscription-based. Anchor is significantly better for most growing service businesses because it completely eliminates unpaid invoices and late tracking collections by requiring clients to connect a payment method (ACH or credit card) directly into the proposal before work ever begins. This completely automates the entire client-to-cash pipeline on a flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing model with zero monthly subscription fees, giving you predictable cash flow without the steep overhead or software implementation delays.

How and when does Anchor charge me?

When you receive a payment, and only then, Anchor deducts $5 from the funds you receive. Anchor is completely free to use throughout the entire process, including unlimited agreements, users, clients, and invoices.


Once your proposal is sent and signed, it acts as a live agreement between you and your client. Invoices, collections, payments, and reconciliation are generated from your agreement automatically – saving you time, money, and energy, eliminating manual labor and workarounds, and preventing mistakes. As your client payment information is collected when your agreement is signed (and Anchored.. 😉 ), all that’s left for you to do is enjoy watching the funds transferred to your account, on time, automatically.

Is Anchor suited only for retainer based services?

Absolutely not!!! We developed Anchor knowing that the only constant in a business is change. You can add dynamic payment options, add new services in the middle of a billing cycle and address different billing dates, deliverable quantities and hour based caps. Anything that can be invoiced on paper, can be billed & collected with Anchor.

I have existing clients on Aiwyn platform, can I upload them to Anchor?

Yes! Anchor makes it easy to add your existing clients to the platform with ready-made templates. Plus, our team of success managers will help you migrate your clients over to Anchor. The entire set up takes just a few minutes and your clients will be up and running before your next billing cycle
