Customers have commented on how professional my estimates look. UPDATED 2026..... My subscription went from £0 originally to £30 a year to now £150 for exactly the same product. Not worth the money for a basic estimate/ invoice app. There are full featured complete business platforms out there for much less. shame as it's a nice simple, clean tool.

Works well, simple, looks professional and customers like it. I wish it wouldn't make so many assumptions about email subjects, contracts, etc. Just because a box is empty it doesn't mean it needs filling with non-relatable automated text. I also think it's expensive for what it is and they've just edged the price up per month by 50p. I imagine this will continue. £13/month is a lot of money. *updated review* Price going up again by another £1. Not worth £14/month. I've cancelled my subscript.

Great app, so simple to use and a great way to estimate/invoice quickly. You can also outline payment schedules which is excellent. The only negative, you don't have an option of bank transfer (BACS) when confirming payments from clients. In the UK most of our payments are via this method, so only being able to select Cash, Check or Credit Card is often an issue. Other than that, absolutely superb!
