Frequently Asked Questions
What is an estimate?
An estimate is a preliminary cost projection given before work begins. It helps customers understand approximate costs and is typically non-binding.
How is an estimate different from an invoice?
An estimate is created before work starts and represents projected costs. An invoice is issued after work is completed and represents the actual amount due.
How is an estimate different from a quote?
An estimate is a non-binding approximation of costs. A quote is a fixed-price commitment for a defined scope, typically binding for a set period. Estimates are more common for residential customers evaluating options.
Can I use this estimate generator for free?
You can create estimates for free. Downloading or sending one takes an Invoice Pass (a one-time payment, no subscription) or the monthly plan if you send estimates regularly.
Can I give the customer Good, Better and Best options on one estimate?
Yes. Add up to three options — Good, Better and Best by default, renamable — and mark one as Most popular. The customer picks one and approves it online, and you convert that option into the invoice.
