Add something descriptive to the headline or at least your app's name, or why would people click on it? This is not the best time to post either, so maybe you should try in about 5-6 hours.

Thank you for suggestions, I'll be more descriptive next time.

I love this concept, and I can see my business using it. We have three team members, so I'm surprised you consider us an Enterprise. I'd be more comfortable if you called us a "Business" or an "Agency". And should a true enterprise be capped at five users and pay just $69 per month? If I were to sign up, I'd get an Advanced plan and deal with just having two users.

As a business owner, this product solves two needs: 1) saves lots of time and 2) ensures that salespeople can assemble good looking proposals.

Do you have example proposals on the website? I want to see what this generates without creating a free account and doing a bunch of work myself.

Apowell, Awesome thought, thank you soo much. We tried to minimize quantity of team members and other items in plans so that we have capacity to add them up after application release. Right now all plans are free and there is no limitation on features. I've already added a task to create one more banner that says "Beautiful proposals in minutes. Check what your clients will get" linking to a live example of web based proposal. Again, really appreciate your feedback.

Typo on the Tour page - "Start with a pre-maid proposal template" should be made, not maid

Very good looking product. My question is more business related: What is the benefit to the user of having in online (versus desktop app) and paying monthly (versus one time purchase)?

Thanks a lot for checking out Quote Roller. Here are some benefits: 1) Team work on a proposal 2) Ability to track client's activity 3) Ability to interact with a client 4) (in new release) Clients can sign proposal online 5) (in new release) integrations with popular tools [freshbooks, SalesForce, HighRise] 6) (in new release) mobile version

... and just in general... software is going to loose to saas. It is just more convenient to use web based apps.
