An estimate is a written projection of what a job will cost - sent before work begins so the client can approve the budget. An invoice is a request for payment sent after the work is done. Estimates help you close deals; invoices help you get paid. You can create both here for free.
Yes - use the duplicate feature to copy your estimate, change the title to Invoice, update the date, and you are done. Your client details and line items carry over automatically. A dedicated estimate-to-invoice one-click conversion is coming soon.
Most freelancers offer free estimates as part of winning new business. However, for complex projects that require significant scoping work (architectural plans, large construction quotes, custom software proposals), charging a small fee that is credited toward the final invoice is common and fair.
A strong estimate should clearly list: each deliverable or service with its individual price, a timeline or expected completion date, your payment terms (any upfront deposit, milestone payments, final due date), and a short personal note thanking the client. Clarity and detail win more work than vague lump-sum quotes.
A standard estimate is not usually binding - it is an approximation. It becomes binding once the client approves it in writing. A written quote (with QTE-xxx numbering, dates, terms, and signature), however, can be legally binding once accepted. For fixed-price work, use the quote format and number it clearly.
Unlimited. Create as many estimates as you need, completely free, with no signup, no watermark, and no trial restrictions. Save reusable items to speed up future estimates.
Yes - upload your logo or generate one from your business name. A branded estimate shows professionalism before the client even hires you and sets you apart from freelancers who send plain text proposals.
For new clients, request a deposit (25-50% upfront) with the remainder on completion. For large projects, break the estimate into milestones with payment at each stage. Clearly state your payment method (bank transfer, PayPal) and the due dates. Clear terms prevent payment disputes later.
