Estimate FAQ
Is the estimate maker free?
Yes. Create and download estimate PDFs at no cost.
Is an estimate the same as a quote?
They are similar. Estimates are often more flexible projections; quotes may be more binding. Use whichever matches your workflow — we offer both an Estimate Generator and a Quote Generator.
Does the estimate include a disclaimer?
Yes. New estimates include a note that the document is an estimate, not a final invoice. You can edit or remove it.
