Quote Maker App: Send a Professional Price Quote in Minutes
A quote is a fixed-price offer for a defined job. With PocketInvoice you can build a quotation on your phone, attach photos, send it as a clean PDF, and convert it into an invoice the moment the client says yes — free, offline, no account.
Quote vs estimate: which are you sending?
A quote commits you to a price for defined work; an estimate is an informed approximation that may move as scope firms up. In PocketInvoice both use the estimate document — the difference is the wording you put in the terms. For a quote, state the fixed price, exactly what it includes, and how long the offer stands.
How to make a quote on your phone
- Open PocketInvoice and create a new estimate (your quotation).
- Add the client and itemize the work — being specific is what makes it a quote.
- Attach photos of the job or products if they clarify scope.
- In the terms, add a validity window ("This quotation is valid for 14 days") and what's excluded.
- Pick a professional template and send the PDF.
What makes a quote win the job
- Itemized lines — a single lump sum invites haggling; itemized work reads as fair.
- Photos — anchor the price to the visible job.
- A validity date — creates a reason to decide now, and protects you from old prices.
- A clean template — the quote is your first impression; make it look like the finished work will.
- Fast delivery — the contractor who quotes the same afternoon usually wins over the one who quotes next week.
From accepted quote to invoice in one tap
When the client accepts, convert the quotation to an invoice — items, prices, and client details carry over unchanged, which is exactly the point: the client pays what they agreed to. Add any change orders as new lines, and send.
Keep every quote trackable
Open quotes sit in your estimates list, so following up is systematic rather than from memory. A polite nudge two or three days after sending is often all it takes.

FAQ: Quotes & quotations
What's the difference between a quote and an estimate?
A quote is a fixed price for defined work; an estimate is an approximation that can change. In PocketInvoice both are created as estimate documents — your terms define how firm the price is.
How do I add a validity period to a quote?
Write it into the terms — for example, 'This quotation is valid for 14 days.' Saved terms can be reused on every quote.
Can I turn an accepted quote into an invoice?
Yes, in one tap. Everything carries over — items, prices, client — so the invoice matches exactly what the client accepted.
Is the quote maker free?
Yes. Quotations use PocketInvoice's estimate feature, which is included in the free plan with monthly limits; Premium removes the limits.
