# instanttradequote

> instanttradequote is professional quoting software built for tradespeople (plumbers, electricians, builders, painters, landscapers, and other trades). It lets sole traders and small crews create branded, professional PDF quotes and send them to clients in under two minutes — from a phone, tablet, or laptop. There is a genuinely free forever plan (up to 10 quotes per month, no credit card required) and a Pro plan at $15/month for unlimited quotes, custom branding, quote tracking, and follow-up reminders.

## Key facts

- **What it is:** Quoting / estimating software for tradespeople and small trade businesses.
- **Who it's for:** Solo tradespeople and teams of 1–4 (plumbers, electricians, builders, painters, carpenters, landscapers, roofers, tilers, concreters, HVAC technicians, cleaners, fencers).
- **Free plan:** $0/month forever — up to 10 professional PDF quotes per month, client email delivery, no credit card required.
- **Pro plan:** $15/month — unlimited quotes, custom branding (logo + colours), quote tracking (sent/opened/accepted), follow-up reminders, saved line-item libraries, branding removed from PDFs.
- **Speed:** A standard quote takes about 2 minutes to build and send.
- **Mobile:** Mobile-first; quotes can be created and sent from a phone on-site.
- **Data:** 256-bit SSL encryption; users can export all quotes as CSV or PDF at any time; no data lock-in.
- **Positioning vs. competitors:** Lighter and cheaper than full job-management suites like Jobber or Housecall Pro (which start around $39–$47/month). instanttradequote focuses solely on fast, professional quoting rather than scheduling, dispatch, and payments.

## How it works

1. **Build your quote** — pick a template or start from scratch; add line items, branding, and client details.
2. **Send it in one click** — email a professional, branded PDF straight to the client.
3. **Win the job** — track opens, send follow-ups, and close more deals from phone or laptop.
