Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Proposify

  • Document sends are capped monthly and billed per overage, at 10 sends on Basic with $0.50 each beyond
  • The Business plan's overage rate of $0.75 per send is higher than either cheaper plan despite starting at $3,900 a year
  • Document analytics, integrations and custom fields all require the Team plan at $49 per user per month
  • API access and SSO are Business only
  • The Basic plan includes a single collaborator seat

Surfe

  • Three native CRMs only: Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive. Anything else needs the API or Google Sheets.
  • API access is an Enterprise feature, so the lower tiers cannot automate beyond the supported connectors even though an API exists.
  • The free tier caps CRM sync at one contact a day, which makes it a demonstration rather than a workable free plan.
  • Mobile number credits are far scarcer than email credits on every tier, 100 a month against 1,000 on Pro, and phone data is usually the reason teams buy a tool like this.
  • Match rates are not published. Enrichment across fifteen providers is a description of method, not a measured outcome, and the figure that decides whether the cost is justified is not on the pricing page.

Source
Proposify: Does Proposify offer a free trial?

Yes, Proposify offers a 14-day free trial on the Team plan features with no credit card required.

Source
Surfe: What is waterfall enrichment?

Looking a contact up across more than fifteen data providers in sequence rather than relying on a single source, so a miss at one provider is retried at the next. It is what drives match rates on contacts a single database would not find.

Source
Proposify: How much do I save with annual billing?

Annual billing offers significant discounts compared to monthly options. For example, Basic plan saves up to 4 months of fees per year when billed annually versus monthly.

Source
Surfe: Can Surfe be used with AI agents?

Yes. Surfe publishes an API and an MCP server, which makes the data reachable from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity. API access sits on the Enterprise tier.

Source
Surfe: Is the Surfe free plan usable?

For evaluation rather than for work. It includes 20 email and 5 mobile find credits a month and limits CRM sync to one contact a day, which is enough to judge data quality and not enough to prospect with.
