🧮 Quotewell
Build a price catalog once and turn out branded PDF quotes offline.
PandaDoc and Proposify run $19–$49 per user per month, forever, for a document-automation platform you didn't ask for. Quotewell is a fast local quote builder that puts a total at the bottom of a branded page and nothing between you and it. $29, once. Everything lives in a SQLite file on your machine — no accounts, no cloud, no per-seat pricing.

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Quotewell is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/quote-estimator. 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.
Own Quotewell forever
