Pricing

$29 once — that's the whole pricing page

FAQ

Honest answers

Is it really free on GitHub?

Yes — Quotewell is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/quote-estimator-mvp. The $29 buys the 1-click Windows installer and zero setup; building from source is free.

Does my quote data go to the cloud?

Never. Everything is a local SQLite file on your disk, it works fully offline, and there is no telemetry.

Is it a full proposal platform like Proposify?

No, and that's the point. Quotewell builds branded quotes with a real total at the bottom, without the sales-enablement platform bolted on — $29 once instead of a per-seat subscription.
