5 Best Quote / Estimate Software for Service Businesses

'Quote' tools differ from 'proposal' tools — quotes are line-item-priced, proposals tell a story. If you only need quotes, these 5 are the right fit.

The 7 best (or 5 or 6) tools we'd actually recommend

1. HubSpot Quotes

Price: Free with Sales Hub Starter ($20/mo)

Best for: Inside HubSpot. Cheapest if already paying.

Watch out for: Line-item-only — no narrative proposal.

2. Quoter

Price: $129/mo (Standard)

Best for: Built specifically for IT/MSPs.

Watch out for: Pricey for non-MSP use.

3. AgencyPitch

Price: $24/mo

Best for: Pricing tiers as first-class objects. Beats line-item-only quotes.

Watch out for: Built for full proposals — overkill for line-item-only.

4. PandaDoc Quotes

Price: $19-49/mo

Best for: Built-in quoting with CPQ-lite features.

Watch out for: Best features on Business tier ($49/mo).

5. Bonsai

Price: $25/mo

Best for: Solo freelancers. Quote + invoice in one.

Watch out for: Generic.
