Software proposal template, mobile app proposal and app proposal for a small development studio pitching a build

Updated

A software proposal template is worth keeping only for the parts that repeat: the method, the acceptance rules, the terms, the deposit and milestone schedule. The scope of a build never repeats, and a mobile app proposal or an app proposal that ships last quarter's feature list has priced a product nobody asked for. The template carries the frame; the scope is counted fresh each time in screens, integrations, platforms and roles, priced from hours at a rate that covers the studio's costs, and offered as options. The web development proposal template tool on this site prices the build from your own figures, free and without an account.

What the template should carry

The approach and method, how changes are requested and priced, what acceptance means and within how many days, the warranty period, the care plan, the deposit and milestone schedule, ownership on final payment and the notice clause. Everything in the software proposal template is a rule you apply to every build.

What a mobile app proposal counts

Platforms, screens, the backend and its integrations, sign-in and roles, notifications, analytics, store submission, and the testing on real devices. Each has hours; the hours at your rate are the fee. An app proposal priced as one figure has hidden all of that, and the first change request exposes it.

Options and milestones

Three options from the same count: the minimum that launches, the recommended build, the version with the extra platform or integration. A deposit to start, a milestone on design or specification approval, one on build, the balance at acceptance.

Acceptance, warranty, care

Acceptance is the agreed tests passing in the agreed environment within a stated number of days of delivery; the warranty covers defects for a stated period; the care plan is priced separately. Proposal suites charge per seat: from the vendor's own pricing page, Proposify Basic is $29 per user per month and Team is $49 per user per month on monthly billing. Scopedly Pro is $29 per month for the whole studio, and every tool on this site works free with no account.

Questions people ask about software proposal template

What should a software proposal template include?

The method, change control, acceptance criteria and window, warranty and care, the deposit and milestone schedule, ownership and notice; never a scope, which is counted per build.

How is a mobile app proposal priced?

From hours per platform, screen, integration and role at your rate, presented as options; the web development proposal template tool works it on the page.

Do I need a separate app proposal for iOS and Android?

One proposal, with the second platform as an option or a separate line, so the client sees what it costs and chooses.
