Comparison

QuoteMate vs Quotient

Q: How does QuoteMate's pricing compare to Quotient?

QuoteMate has a free plan, plus Pro at $49/month or $328/year (flat pricing, no per-user fees). Quotient: Quotient is US$28/month (Solo, 1 user) or US$48/month (Team, 2–5 users), priced in US dollars. It is quoting only — no invoicing, payments, or job management.

Choosing quoting software comes down to what your business does. This is a straight comparison between Quotient, a general online quoting tool, and QuoteMate, an app built specifically for Australian tradies. If you run a small service business with a few staff and just need clean online quotes, Quotient might fit. But if you're a tradie who needs to price jobs quickly with live supplier data, send an invoice, and get paid on the spot, QuoteMate is designed for that entire workflow. We'll break down the key differences.

Who Quotient is best for

Quotient is a solid tool for small service businesses that aren't in the trades. Think consultants, designers, or agencies. Its strength is in creating customisable online quotes that clients can accept with one click. The team plan handles 2 to 5 users, making it decent for a small office that needs to track proposals. It does the quoting part well, with follow-up reminders and view tracking. However, it stops there. It doesn't do invoicing, payments, or job management. It’s also priced in US dollars and isn't connected to any Australian suppliers.

Why tradies switch from Quotient to QuoteMate

Tradies move from Quotient because it’s not built for them. The biggest reason is speed and accuracy. QuoteMate’s AI helps build a materials list from a voice note, then prices it against live feeds from Bunnings, Reece, and Tradelink. This protects your margin. Second is the price. Quotient is in US dollars, so the cost fluctuates. A flat AU$49 gets a whole business on QuoteMate. Finally, QuoteMate handles the whole job. It turns the accepted quote into an invoice in one tap and lets you take payment on-site with Square.

The Bottom Line

Quotient is a clean online quoting tool, but it is cross-industry, priced in US dollars, and stops at the quote — no invoicing, no payments, no job management, and no Australian supplier pricing or GST. QuoteMate is purpose-built for Australian tradies and covers the whole loop: AI materials lists priced against live Bunnings, Reece and Tradelink rates, a branded PDF, online acceptance, one-tap invoicing, Square tap-to-pay, and automatic GST — on a flat $49/month with a free plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real price difference for a solo tradie?

Quotient's Solo plan is US$28 per month, which is about AU$40-$45. QuoteMate's Pro plan is a flat AU$49 per month. For that price, QuoteMate includes AI quoting with live supplier pricing, invoicing, a job pipeline, and on-site payments via Square. Quotient is strictly for sending quotes and stops there.

Can QuoteMate replace Quotient completely?

Yes. QuoteMate handles everything Quotient does for quoting, like professional PDF quotes and online acceptance. It also replaces the separate accounting software you’d need for invoicing and the payment terminal for taking card payments. It’s designed to manage the job from the first enquiry all the way through to getting paid.

Is it difficult to move my client list across?

No, it's straightforward. You can export your client list from Quotient as a standard CSV file. QuoteMate lets you import that file directly, which usually takes a few minutes to bring all your contacts over. Your old quotes won't transfer, so the best time to make the switch is after you've finished and invoiced your current jobs.
