Debits vs Ignition

Proposals & billing — with stacked meters. Here's the honest, side-by-side.

What Ignition is

Ignition does proposals, engagement letters and recurring billing well — but it stacks meters: a monthly subscription, per-active-client fees, and a percentage of every payment it collects. And it only covers the sales-and-billing slice of your firm.
