Quoting software is quoting software, the thinking goes, and that's only half true. Every tool here produces a quote, but some sit inside a CRM, some are built for manufacturers configuring complex products, and some carry the deal on into billing and collection. Settle which of those your team needs, then compare within that group.
DealHub now calls itself an agentic quote-to-revenue platform, covering CPQ, contracts, proposals, subscriptions and billing. Replacing it can therefore mean replacing several systems at once, and the tools below rarely match it job for job. They're listed in no particular order, for revenue operations teams and sales leaders who need CPQ, quoting and proposals. Descriptions on this page come from the vendor's own site and its product pages.
One word, three different products
Configuration is where these products split. For a software company, configuring a deal usually means picking plans, add-ons and terms. For a manufacturer, it can mean working out which parts fit together and whether the machine can be built at all. A tool designed for the first job won't cope with the second, and the reverse is just as true.
The quote is the part every tool shares. After it, paths divide again. Some tools stop at a signed quote and hand off to your CRM and finance systems. Others keep going into contracts, subscriptions, invoicing and collecting cash, which is where the old platform also reached. If your team relied on that back half, a quoting-only tool will leave a gap that someone fills with spreadsheets.
So the half that holds is that all of these tools make quotes. The half that doesn't is the idea that any of them will slot into your process the same way.
A former rival that's left the field
Subskribe used to be a separate quote-to-revenue option, and it still turns up in older comparisons. Its own homepage now says it has been acquired by the company you're leaving, so it's no longer an independent alternative and isn't listed here. If it was on your shortlist, take it off and check any other names you've carried over from older research against their current sites.
CRM-native, manufacturing and quote-to-cash tools
Inside your CRM or enterprise stack
Salesforce Revenue Cloud is the CPQ and revenue management product for companies already running on that CRM, now with AI assistance. Oracle CPQ is a cloud application for configuring products and creating quotes at enterprise scale. Conga CPQ sits inside a suite that also covers contracts and billing, which matters if you want quoting and contract management from one vendor.
Built for manufacturers
Tacton is CPQ for manufacturers with complex, configurable products, including engineer-to-order work. Cincom CPQ is aimed at industrial and equipment manufacturers. If your sales engineers spend their days checking what can be built, this is the group to test first.
Quote-to-cash for subscription and B2B sellers
Nue brings CPQ, metering and billing together on one platform. Salesbricks covers quoting, closing, billing and collecting for B2B companies. Quoter is quote-to-cash built for managed service providers, from proposal through to payment.
Where proposals and sales rooms fit
Not every team leaving a quote-to-revenue platform needs CPQ at all. If your deals are simple and the hard part is getting a buyer to read, agree and sign, a proposal tool may cover most of what you used. Qwilr builds interactive proposals and quotes that can take payment and show buyer analytics. GetAccept runs digital sales rooms with proposals, quotes and e-signatures in one branded space.
These tools won't configure a complex product or run subscription billing, so treat them as the right answer only when your discount rules are light and your buyers are the bottleneck.

Quote one awkward deal in two systems
Pick the deal your team dreads, the one with a discount that needs approval, a non-standard term or a product combination that usually needs a call to someone senior. Build that exact quote in two tools from the same group, using your real products and rules.
Time each attempt, note where you needed help, and send the finished quote to a colleague acting as the buyer. Then check what happens next: does the signed quote reach your CRM, and does billing pick it up without someone retyping it? A tool that handles your awkward deal cleanly will handle the easy ones.
For a revenue ops lead with a renewal date
If your renewal is coming up, start with the back half of your process rather than the quote. List what happens after a deal is signed, which systems receive the data and who touches it, because that's what decides whether you need a quote-to-cash tool, a CRM-native CPQ or something lighter. Then shortlist two tools from the matching group and run the awkward-deal test with your own team.
Give yourself enough overlap to run both systems for one full quarter-end close if you can. For wider shortlists, see my guides to CPQ software and proposal software.
Do you make CPQ, quoting or proposal software? Tool makers can ask to be considered for a featured place on this list.

Frequently asked questions
What does CPQ software do?
It helps sales teams build accurate quotes, from choosing products and options to applying discount rules and producing the finished document for the buyer.
Is a proposal tool enough instead of CPQ?
For simple deals, it can be. If your products need configuring or your quotes feed billing and subscriptions, you'll want CPQ or a quote-to-cash tool.
What's the difference between CPQ and quote-to-cash?
CPQ ends with the quote. Quote-to-cash carries on through contracts, billing and collection, so fewer hand-offs happen between sales and finance.
Do I need CPQ built into my CRM?
If your team lives in one CRM all day, a CRM-native tool keeps everything in one place. Standalone tools usually connect to CRMs, so ask how that works in a demo.
How long does a CPQ migration take?
It depends on how many products, rules and approval steps you have. Rebuilding your product catalogue and discount rules is usually the biggest job, so start there.
Should manufacturers use general CPQ software?
Usually not for complex products. Manufacturing CPQ is built to check which parts fit together, which general quoting tools don't attempt.
