What you get for $29 once

  • Price catalog. Save your services and materials with default price, unit and description — build it once, quote fast forever.
  • Line-item builder. Pull items from the catalog or add one-offs, with fractional quantities, per-line and quote-level discounts, tax and live totals.
  • Optional / alternate lines. Show upsells and alternates on the quote, priced but excluded from the total.
  • Exact money math. Every amount is stored and computed in integer cents, so there is no floating-point drift ever.
  • Templates and branding. Cover note and terms boilerplate saved per business, plus logo and accent color, selectable per quote.
  • No renewal, ever. The license does not expire and there is no per-seat meter — $29 is the whole price.

Pricing questions

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.

Quotewell — $29, one time

Or get Quotewell plus every other app in the suite: the OneTimeSuite bundle is currently $97, one time.
