ConnectWise Sell is now ConnectWise CPQ, and it still does product quoting well. Teams look for an alternative for one of two reasons. Some want a different product quoting tool. Others are quoting projects, and Sell has no way to estimate the hours. The right alternative depends on which of those you are fixing. We build ScopeStack for the labor side, and we say below which tools fit the product side better than we do.
TL;DR
- To swap one product quoting tool for another, look at QuoteWerks, ScalePad Quoter or Salesbuildr. All three pull distributor pricing and sync with your PSA.
- If you run Autotask on Kaseya, Kaseya Quote Manager comes in the Kaseya 365 Ops bundle.
- Scopable starts quotes from client data in your PSA and Microsoft 365, but writes little back to the PSA.
- If labor is the hard part, ScopeStack prices hours by role, writes the SOW and builds the PSA project.
- You can also keep Sell for hardware and add a labor tool beside it.
What ConnectWise Sell does today
The Marketplace listing calls it "ConnectWise CPQ™ (formerly ConnectWise Sell)." Old Sell URLs now redirect to the CPQ product page, which describes it as "automated quote and proposal software."
It's strong on products. The listing says you can "instantly search and compare product pricing and availability from all major distributors like Arrow, Tech Data, Ingram Micro, Dell Amazon Business, and Synnex." It places e-orders, sends renewal and warranty alerts, and has e-signature. Quotes start from the client details already in the PSA.
Labor goes on the quote as line items. What its pages don't describe is working out those hours. We found no mention of tasks, roles, rate cards or statement of work generation on the CPQ page or its Marketplace listing. There are no published CPQ prices; the pricing page asks you to request a quote.

Swapping product quoting tools: QuoteWerks and ScalePad Quoter
If you like how Sell quotes products and just want a better tool for it, these two are the closest swaps.
QuoteWerks names more PSA record types than any other tool here. Its ConnectWise integration page says you can "turn approved quotes into Projects, Agreements, Tickets, and Purchasing records automatically inside ConnectWise PSA." Distributor content comes with its Pinnacle plan.
ScalePad Quoter, formerly quoter.com, says it is built for MSPs. It reads your PSA contacts and deals, updates the deal when a quote is won or lost, and lists a catalog of "21M+ products." Plans are priced by how many quotes you send, with unlimited users.
Quotes that turn into agreements: Salesbuildr
Salesbuildr's pitch is "Accepted quotes land in Autotask, ConnectWise or Halo, so nobody retypes the order." From an approved quote, you can add recurring services to a ConnectWise agreement and open a ticket.
Zomentum covers similar ground from proposal to payment. Its help center maps clients, contacts, deals and quote lines between Zomentum and ConnectWise.
If you're moving to Kaseya: Kaseya Quote Manager
Kaseya Quote Manager is "cloud-based quoting software for MSPs" focused on hardware and procurement. It says you can "sync proposals to opportunities and assign sales orders to PSA tickets without added effort." Its help docs name both Autotask and ConnectWise. Kaseya doesn't publish a price for it alone. It's part of Kaseya 365 Ops, listed at $129 per user per month with a three-user minimum.
Quoting from client data: Scopable
Scopable calls itself "MSP quoting software from client data." It reads companies, contacts, deals and configurations from the PSA and adds Microsoft 365 and RMM context. Quotes carry labor lines and written scope sections, and its MCP server is in beta.
The trade-off is the PSA. Scopable says "write-back is limited to quote-linked opportunity fields," so projects and agreements stay a manual step. Its site doesn't describe Autotask.
Quoting projects out of your PSA?
Bring a real deal and watch the scope become an SOW and a PSA project.
Get a demoWhen labor is the problem: ScopeStack
A firewall has a list price. A migration doesn't. Someone has to decide the tasks, the hours and who does them. Sell's pages don't describe that step.
- Start from your catalog. Services, tasks and their dependencies live in a catalog you reuse. Answers to a discovery questionnaire suggest which services to add.
- Price by role. Rate cards price hours by role, and pricing rules protect margin.
- Approve before you send. Projects route for approval when they cross the revenue, gross profit or cost limits you set.
- Generate the SOW. The statement of work comes from the approved scope, with the assumptions and exclusions delivery needs. Clients sign through your own DocuSign account.
- Build the PSA project. Our native integration creates a ConnectWise project with phases, tickets and hours. For Autotask, it creates a project with tasks and milestones, plus contracts and billing schedules.
After rolling out ScopeStack, Computacenter cut contract turnaround by 75%, from 8 days to under 2. We're rated 4.9 out of 5 on G2.
We don't do distributor pricing or renewal alerts. If you quote hardware too, keep a product tool for it.
Or keep Sell and add a labor tool
You don't have to replace Sell to fix project quoting. Hardware and licenses can stay in Sell with its distributor feeds. The project scope, hours and SOW come from ScopeStack, and both feed the PSA. We have no native integration with CPQ, so the client gets two documents. Our ScopeStack vs ConnectWise CPQ comparison covers how that works.
Pricing
We use credit-based pricing with unlimited users and no per-seat fees. Credits are consumed only when a project is created. Native PSA integrations for ConnectWise and Autotask are included. Our Integration Engine for other apps is priced separately. Current rates are on the pricing page.
