Duodeal vs. Trumpet
Trumpet is a Digital Sales Room, a workspace where buyers, content, video, and tasks live together in branded “Pods.” Duodeal is a proposal platform, built around the moment a buyer opens your offer and decides whether to sign. Different scope, different bets, same goal. Here's when each fits.
Trumpet's strength is the “Pod”, a customisable, branded microsite that holds everything a buyer needs across the sales cycle: demo recordings, mutual action plans, content, video messages, proposals, e-signature. For teams who want a single interactive workspace for each deal, Trumpet's design polish and feature breadth are genuinely strong.
Duodeal does something narrower. We're not building a workspace. We're building the proposal moment itself. The page a buyer opens, explores, comments on, and signs in one sitting. Less setup, faster time-to-value, and a sharper focus on the moment that decides whether the deal closes.
An honest side-by-side. Where Trumpet is stronger, we say so. Where features sit behind a higher pricing tier, we name it.

Two different shapes of selling motion. Pick the one that matches yours.
Some teams use Trumpet for complex deals where a multi-content Pod makes sense and Duodeal for the high-volume proposals where speed and focus matter more. The two are not mutually exclusive. If your team runs both kinds of sales motions, using each for what it's best at is a reasonable approach.
Why switch
Three honest reasons, when they apply. If they don't, Trumpet is the right tool.
Trumpet's pricing scales aggressively, £36/user/month for Pro, £75 for Scale, £125 for Elite. Each tier unlocks more features: AI on Pro, e-signature on Scale, white-label on Elite. For teams that need the full feature set, that math gets expensive quickly. Duodeal offers a single Starter Pack tier covering the complete product, no feature gating, no surprise upgrades.
Trumpet's native e-signature lives on the Scale tier and above. Below that, you're integrating DocuSign or PandaDoc, a second tool, a second cost, a second integration to maintain. Duodeal includes e-signature on every plan, in the same page the buyer is already on. One link, one workflow.
Trumpet's flexibility is also its overhead, each Pod is a customisable microsite that takes time to set up well. Most Trumpet teams spend the first few hours of their account building templates. Duodeal's AI builds your space from a few questions about your business, and your first proposal goes out within 45 minutes of signing up.
