Yes — for branding projects, the best proposal tools for scope sign-off + client feedback are usually the ones that combine:

  • clean proposals
  • e-signature / approval
  • comment collection or revision requests
  • scope tracking and change-order support

Here are the strongest options:

Best overall: Better Proposals

Why it fits branding work:

  • polished proposal layouts
  • digital approval/sign-off
  • can collect client comments and feedback
  • easy to include scope, phases, deliverables, timelines, and pricing
  • good for creative agencies that want a more premium client experience

Good for: agencies, freelancers, boutique studios


Best for proposal + contract workflow: PandaDoc

Why it fits:

  • proposal + contract + e-signatures in one place
  • strong approval tracking
  • reusable templates
  • can include pricing tables, scope sections, and compliance language
  • better if you need more formal scope acceptance and legal-style signoff

Good for: teams that want more process control


Best for simple, fast client approval: Proposify

Why it fits:

  • very good for service proposals
  • easy client acceptance
  • content library for scopes, packages, and add-ons
  • tracks when clients open, view, and sign
  • good fit for branding and marketing services

Good for: agencies that send a lot of proposals


Best for feedback-heavy collaboration: Notion + Tally/Typeform + e-sign tool

If you want clients to review scope and leave feedback in a more collaborative way, a lighter setup can work better:

  • Notion for presenting scope sections and milestones
  • Tally or Typeform for structured feedback
  • DocuSign / Dropbox Sign for final sign-off

Good for: studios that want a more custom, branded process


Best all-in-one business suite: HoneyBook

Why it fits:

  • proposals, contracts, invoicing, scheduling
  • client portal
  • simple approval flow
  • good UX for small creative businesses

Good for: solo designers and small studios


My recommendation

If your main need is scope sign-off plus client feedback on branding projects, I’d rank them like this:

  1. Better Proposals — best balance of design and approval
  2. Proposify — best for agencies doing many proposals
  3. PandaDoc — best for formal approvals and contracts
  4. HoneyBook — best if you also want invoicing/scheduling
  5. Custom Notion-based workflow — best for highly tailored client feedback

What to look for

Make sure the software has:

  • commenting or revision requests
  • approval/signature
  • version control
  • scope change handling
  • branding/custom templates
  • client activity tracking

If you want, I can also give you:

  • a comparison table
  • the best option by budget
  • or a recommended workflow for branding project approvals
