The things people ask about estimates
Short answers to the questions tradespeople and service businesses ask on the first call.
Yes. The generator is free with no signup, no credit card, and no watermark on the PDF. Build the estimate, download the branded PDF, send it to the customer however you like. Sign up for QuoteGenio free if you want to save your estimates, convert accepted estimates into invoices, or send on WhatsApp with view tracking.
An estimate is a rough price range the customer can expect, usually given before a site visit. A quote is a firm, itemised price you commit to in writing. Most tradespeople give an estimate first, then follow with a proper quote after inspecting the work. QuoteGenio handles both: this tool for the ballpark, the full app for the firm quote.
No. Fill in your business, the customer and the line items, click Download. The branded PDF opens straight away. Sign up unlocks saved estimates, WhatsApp send, online acceptance, convert-to-invoice and automatic overdue reminders.
Your business name and contact details, the customer name, an estimate number and date, every line item with quantity and unit price, automatic subtotal and total, an optional VAT or tax line, and your notes or terms. All branded with the business details you enter.
Not directly from the free tool. Download the PDF and attach it to WhatsApp manually. For one-tap WhatsApp send with a public acceptance link and view tracking, sign up for the free QuoteGenio plan (5 real documents a month, no card).
