Free to download, 30 days free
QuoteMaven is free to download, with 30 days free, no card needed.
Signed means invoiced
Your customer signs from a private link, with nothing to install. The signed quote moves to Invoices on its own, with nothing to retype.
The math shows its work
The AI quantity calculator reads the dimensions in an item name and shows its math. It never replaces a quantity you typed, and you can turn it off.
What to compare
- Does your customer need to install an app or make an account to sign?
- Does a signed quote become an invoice on its own, or do you convert it?
- Can you put options on one quote, so customers clearly see every choice?
- Does the app work out quantities from dimensions, and does it show its math?
- Where do card payments go, and which plans include them?
- Do you get alerts when a customer views, signs and pays?
- Can your documents carry your branding, review links, and license and insurance documents?
- What does it cost to start, and is a card needed?
