Proposal software for copywriters
Yes — Tendrly is proposal software for copywriters. Answer five questions and Tendrly writes a branded proposal — a shareable web page and a matching PDF — with a Stripe payment link built in, so your client approves and pays in one click. Free to start; the money goes to your own Stripe account.
Where copywriters lose the money
Copy briefs balloon quietly: one landing page becomes a page plus five emails plus “a few tweaks” that never end, because the proposal set no word count and no revision cap. And because writers are good with words, the money conversation is the one they most often leave to a vague email afterwards.
What your proposal needs — specifically
- ✓ Define scope in concrete units — pieces, word counts, and a fixed number of revision rounds — so “some copy” cannot expand indefinitely.
- ✓ Price on value, not hours, and let the proposal frame it: Tendrly writes the overview and scope so your positioning is not lost in a plain quote.
- ✓ Take a deposit and, for retainers, use payment plans to bill monthly without re-invoicing.
- ✓ Let clients approve and pay in one click — the fastest way to turn a “sounds good” into a booked project.
How it works

- Tendrly writes and brands the proposal as a web page and a PDF.
- You review and edit, then send the link.
- Your client approves and pays in one click, into your own Stripe account.
