Custom quote calculators for small businesses.
A custom quote calculator lets prospects and your team build a structured quote from a guided intake, service + dimensions + add-ons + region, and produces a draft quote in under a minute. For service businesses where quoting is a 30-minute conversation that often doesn't close, the calculator filters the unqualified before they ever talk to a person.

What it actually does
- Adaptive intake (questions branch based on prior answers).
- Pricing engine that mirrors your actual price book (line items, modifiers, conditional add-ons).
- Output: a fully-formatted draft quote PDF, optionally a Stripe payment link if it's a self-serve service.
- Branch logic, "this requires a site visit" vs "we can quote you here" vs "we don't do this."
- Lead capture + handoff to your team for review.
Who this is for
- Trades where quoting follows a price book: HVAC service, plumbing, painting, lawn care, simple roofing, basic auto repair.
- Niche services with structured pricing (custom signage, custom cabinetry, fence install).
- Any business currently using "fill out this form and we'll get back to you" as the quoting front door.

Will customers misuse it to lowball you?
Less than expected. The calculator outputs a draft, with terms ("subject to site review for jobs over $X"). Most customers actually appreciate the transparency and arrive at the call ready to book.
