Proposal and SOW generator for client work

Scope the work, price it, send it — line items, expected hours, rates, and a valid-until date on a branded PDF. Free with just your email, and the whole proposal lives in a shareable link.

Proposal → estimate → invoice

Client work runs on a document chain. The proposal pitches the scope and price. The estimate formalizes it once the client is close. The invoice bills the work once it is done. A scoped, itemized proposal — not a lump-sum paragraph — is what makes the downstream documents write themselves. When the client signs off, build the estimate or go straight to the invoice generator.

What a good SOW looks like

A statement of work converts a pitch into an agreement: named parties, a reference number, a validity window, and scoped line items — each deliverable priced against expected hours. Vague scope is the top cause of disputes and write-offs; an itemized SOW makes “that was out of scope” a documented fact instead of an argument.

Price scope from real hours, not guesses

Proposals lose money on the hours, not the rate. Automatic time tracking records what comparable work actually took last time, so the next SOW is scoped from data — and the approved hours flow into invoices without a timesheet chase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Enter your name, who the proposal is for, an issue date, and how long the pricing is valid. Then add each part of the scope as a line item — description, expected hours (7.5 or 7:30), and rate — and the generator totals them into a PDF proposal you can send.

Yes. There is no account, no sign-up, and no limit — just your email to unlock the PDF download. The proposal is encoded in the page link, so you can bookmark or share it, and the PDF is generated in your browser — only your email is stored.

A proposal pitches the work — scope, approach, and price — before anything is agreed. A statement of work (SOW) is the agreed version: the deliverables, timeline, and price both sides sign off on. A contract adds the legal terms. This generator covers the proposal/SOW layer: scoped line items plus a validity window. For binding terms, pair it with your usual contract.

Five things: who is performing the work, who it is for, a reference number, the issue date and validity window, and the scoped line items — each deliverable with its expected hours and rate. Itemized scope beats a lump sum because disagreements get resolved line by line instead of against a total.

Thirty days is the standard default — long enough for the client to decide, short enough that your rates and availability do not drift. This generator defaults the valid-until date to 30 days out and prints it on the proposal.

The work starts and the billing document chain takes over: estimate → invoice → receipt. When it is time to bill, convert the scoped work into an invoice with a due date and payment link — our invoice generator handles that step.

Yes. Rize tracks your work in the background, so the next proposal is scoped from what similar work actually took instead of a guess — and approved hours flow straight into invoices when the job is done. Start a free trial to try it.
