Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Prospect
- No longer available as a standalone product; has been discontinued and replaced by other solutions
- Acquisition by The Wild in 2021 resulted in product discontinuation and transition to Workshop XR
- No ongoing development, bug fixes, or feature updates since acquisition
Prospero
- There is no product catalogue or configure-price-quote logic, so a business selling configurable products with rules and approvals prices every document by hand, with the error rate that implies.
- Team features are shallow: no real approval chain, no content locking to stop junior staff editing legal terms, and no per-role permissions, so it stops scaling as soon as more than two people write proposals.
- Analytics report that the proposal was opened rather than how long the client spent on each section, so you lose the buying-signal data the sales-oriented tools in this category are sold on.
- Integration coverage is thin next to PandaDoc or Proposify, so pushing an accepted proposal into a CRM or accounting system usually means Zapier and manual field mapping you maintain yourself.
- The vendor is very small, which is what keeps the price low, but feature requests move slowly and there is no enterprise support commitment to point at if the service is unavailable in the middle of a deal.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Prospect: What is Prospect by IrisVR?

Yes. The client signs in the browser at the end of the proposal and you are notified when they do.

No. Prospect by IrisVR was acquired by The Wild in February 2021 and has been discontinued. Autodesk Workshop XR is now the recommended successor for AEC teams migrating from Prospect.
SourceProspero: Is it suitable for a sales team?
