I’ve just started selling something that competes with my own product. On purpose.
You can now buy any of our quote templates as a spreadsheet. Seven quid, one-time, no account, no trial, no “book a demo”. Pick your trade, pay, download, done.
Which is a strange thing for a quoting software company to do, so let me explain myself.
Not everyone is ready for software
The honest truth about Quotify is that it asks something of you. You set up a form, you put it on your website, you let customers price themselves. That’s a shift in how you work, and plenty of people aren’t there yet. They’re quoting off the back of an envelope, or in a spreadsheet they cobbled together in 2019 and have been quietly resenting ever since.
Telling those people “just sign up for the app” isn’t advice. It’s a sales pitch wearing a hat.
So here’s the other option: buy the spreadsheet. It’s the same pricing logic that runs the live form, only you’re the one filling it in.
What you actually get
An .xlsx file with three tabs.
Calculator is where you work the job out. Every question from that trade’s template is already there as a row, with example prices you swap for your own. Tick what applies, and it adds itself up. There’s a VAT toggle (20 if you’re registered, 0 if you’re not), three blank lines for the bits every job throws at you — parking, waste, materials — and a running total that never gets the maths wrong at 9pm on a Sunday.
Your Quote is what you send. Your business details and totals flow across from the Calculator automatically, so you fill things in once. Add a short scope of works, export to PDF, and you’ve got a tidy A4 quote with your name at the top instead of a screenshot of a spreadsheet.
How to use is nine steps and no jargon. If you’re up and running in under a minute, it’s done its job.
It opens in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers. It’s yours to keep, on as many jobs as you like, forever. And if you lose it, there’s a page for that — pop in the email you bought with and we’ll send the links again, no charge.
The bit most people would leave out
The spreadsheet does the maths. It does not do the other half of the job.
It won’t sit on your website capturing enquiries at 11pm. It won’t price a customer’s job while they’re still on the page and email you the lead already qualified. It won’t chase anyone. You’re still the one typing.
That’s not a flaw, it’s the deal — and I’d rather say it here than have you find out after paying. If the typing is the bit that’s killing you, the live version is free to start and does exactly that. If you just want the maths sorted and to be left alone, buy the spreadsheet. Genuinely, either is fine.
Why £7
Because it’s the price of not thinking about it. Cheap enough to be an impulse, expensive enough that I’m on the hook for making it good. There’s no upsell sequence waiting for you, no drip campaign, no “quick call”. You buy a file, you get a file.
There are 66 of them — plumbers, painters, gardeners, photographers, driving instructors, dog groomers, wedding planners, the lot — and each one is built from that trade’s actual template, so a plumber’s copy asks about boilers and a photographer’s asks about shoot hours.
Have a look through the templates, pick your trade, and the download’s on the page.
And if you’re the sort who’d rather the form did the work? That’s still free. I’m not going to pretend I don’t have a preference.
