Where Qwilr Excels
Qwilr is genuinely excellent for these use cases
Stunning Web-Based Proposals
Qwilr creates beautiful, modern proposals viewed in the browser. Clients see an interactive experience rather than a static PDF. Perfect for impressing prospects with sleek design.
Interactive Pricing Tables
Clients can select options, see prices update in real-time, and customize packages themselves. Great for sales proposals where pricing flexibility is key.
Built-in E-Signatures
Clients can sign and accept proposals directly in the web interface. No switching between tools—view, approve, sign, done.
Detailed Engagement Analytics

Where Qwilr Falls Short for Complex RFPs
Design-focused tools weren't built for RFP response generation
No AI Content Generation
Qwilr is template-based. You still write all the content yourself or copy from past proposals manually. There's no AI to generate complete proposal drafts from your RFP.
Bidara solution: Bidara generates complete first drafts by analyzing your RFP and pulling from your past proposals. You review and customize instead of writing from scratch.
Not Built for Complex RFPs
Qwilr excels at 3-10 page sales proposals. Government RFPs, enterprise contracts, and 50+ page technical proposals aren't the use case it was designed for.
Bidara solution: Bidara is purpose-built for complex RFPs. Upload 50-100+ page government or enterprise RFPs and get structured, compliant responses.
Web-Only Delivery
Qwilr proposals are designed for web viewing. Many formal RFPs require Word/PDF submissions with specific formatting requirements that web proposals can't meet.
Bidara solution: Bidara exports to Word and PDF. Format exactly how the RFP requires for submission portals and formal procurement processes.
No Knowledge Base Learning
Qwilr doesn't learn from your past proposals. Each new proposal starts fresh—you manually select templates and write content each time.
Bidara solution: Bidara permanently learns from every document you upload. Your proposals get better over time as the AI understands your company's capabilities and winning approaches.
