Conga CPQ
Conga Composer / Conga CPQ — Best for Salesforce-centric organizations with established document-generation and CPQ requirements because it can fit deeply into a mature Salesforce process, though it is usually heavier to deploy and operate than the leaders above.

PandaDoc
For a real buyer, I’d start with PandaDoc unless you have a clear reason not to: it is the most balanced combination of proposal creation, pricing, approvals, e-signature, payments, CRM integrations, and buyer tracking—and it currently leads G2’s proposal category on likelihood to recommend.
ChatGPT

No model runs against the grain here: each of the four ranks PandaDoc ahead at least as often as not, with Gemini the most lopsided.
