Ignition review

Ignition covers the front and back of the client relationship: proposals, engagement letters, billing and payment collection. A firm sends a proposal, the client signs, and the agreed fees are billed and collected automatically. Pricing tiers depend on active clients and users. Core is $99 per month for 50 active clients and three users, with bulk proposal sending and setup help. Pro, at $229 for 350 clients and 15 users, adds bulk renewals, landing pages in proposals, custom domains and email branding, lead and client forms, and integrations with Zapier, XPM, Karbon and FYI. Pro+ at $399 adds proposal reviews and approvals and a deals pipeline. A Solo plan costs $39 per month billed annually for solopreneurs under $150k in annual revenue, with 20 clients and one user. Ignition does not manage tasks, deadlines or documents, so it sits next to a workflow tool rather than replacing one, which is why it ranks lower here.
