As of 27 October 2026, according to the vendors' websites. “—” means: not included in Merkdesk, not named on the checked pricing or product page for the others. Trademarks belong to their owners.

What a team pays per month.

List prices for roughly the same scope: sales, projects and proposals. For small teams some single tools cost less; they then lack what the right-hand column lists. With Merkdesk, e-signature, client portal and the setup and running of your integrations are included.
