Better Proposals has no native connection to QuickBooks or Xero. Anchor pushes invoices, payments, and fees to both automatically, and handles recurring invoicing and native payment collection, in one platform.
Better Proposals collects a payment at signing but stops there. Anchor turns that signature into a live billing agreement, then automatically generates invoices, collects payment, and pushes everything to your ledger.
Migrate your agreements, billing, and payments to Anchor in days, not weeks.
No disruption to your firm or your clients.
Anchor's migration team takes your existing Better Proposals templates and rebuilds them as dynamic, live billing agreements, so you don't touch a thing.
Your clients receive a secure magic link to review their updated agreement terms and authorize their preferred payment method in one step.
Our dedicated onboarding team runs a complete quality assurance check with you to ensure every service scope, price, and ledger mapping aligns accurately.
Once live on Anchor, invoicing, payment collection, and ledger updates run automatically from the agreement.
Manage your fully automated billing workflow with our dedicated human support team, available whenever you need.
No subscriptions, no hidden fees. Just $5 per payment received.

“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.”
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."
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.

Anchor charges a flat $5 per successful payment with zero subscription fees and zero user minimums. Better Proposals charges $13 to $42 per user per month depending on tier, plus a separate $10 per user add-on if you want its follow-up automation feature. Review our transparent pricing breakdown to compare total costs.
Better Proposals has no native accounting integration; Xero is only reachable through a third-party Zapier automation, and its own integrations are otherwise limited to CRMs and payment processors like Stripe, GoCardless, and PayPal. Anchor pushes invoices, payments, and fees automatically to both QuickBooks Online and Xero, so your books stay current without manual entry.
No. Better Proposals collects a single payment at signing through Stripe, GoCardless, or PayPal, it has no invoicing feature and no way to bill again without creating an entirely new document. Anchor's autonomous billing engine generates invoices on whatever schedule the engagement needs, one-off, recurring, or milestone-based.
On Better Proposals, a signed document is locked, so a scope change means drafting and sending an entirely new proposal. On Anchor, you edit the live agreement directly and billing updates automatically, with a shared change log your client can see.
Anchor provides completely free ACH bank transfers and processes credit cards at a standard rate of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, which your firm can absorb or pass to clients.
No, clients access their proposals, invoices, and billing history through a secure magic-link client portal that requires zero logins or passwords.
Anchor is SOC 2 certified and PCI-DSS compliant, encrypts all data in transit with up to 256-bit TLS, and never stores card or bank account details on its own servers.
Anchor provides real-time native ledger syncing that autonomously logs paid invoices, matches net bank deposits, and categorizes processing fees to the correct ledger accounts. This eliminates manual spreadsheet reconciliation, duplicate data entry, and manual month-end journal adjustments.
Partly. After signing, you can start a Stripe or GoCardless subscription, but BP doesn't create invoices, handle milestone billing or sync to QuickBooks/Xero. Anchor generates invoices from the signed agreement on any schedule.
Starter allows 10 documents a month for 1 user; Premium allows 50. Anchor has no limits on proposals, agreements, invoices or users.
You can have a live agreement collecting payment the same day using Anchor's self-serve signup. For firms migrating an existing client roster, Anchor's onboarding team rebuilds your proposals and agreements from your Better Proposals data at no extra cost.
