Stay with QuickBooks if
- Your accountant keeps your books in QuickBooks
- You run payroll, bank feeds or reconciliation there
- You file taxes from it
- In that case, keep it and move only the quoting
QUICKBOOKS ALTERNATIVEOne roof, one bill
Paying for QuickBooks just to send invoices?
QuoteApp sends estimates your customers sign on their phone and invoices with deposits, and runs your schedule and booking page, for $29.99 CAD a month. If your accountant keeps your books in QuickBooks, keep it for that and drop to a smaller plan.

FAQ
Before you switch.
Do I have to give up QuickBooks?
No. If your accountant keeps your books in QuickBooks, keep it. QuoteApp doesn't do bookkeeping or payroll. The quoting and invoicing moves to QuoteApp, and you may be able to drop to Simple Start at $38 a month.
How much has QuickBooks gone up?
Essentials went from $65 to $75 a month in July 2025 and to $85 in August 2026, and Plus from $99 to $140 over the same time, at US list prices.
What does QuoteApp do?
The quoting and job software we build and run in Canada: estimates customers sign on their phone, invoices with deposits, a schedule, a booking page and a leads inbox. It's $29.99 CAD a month on its own and included in Growth, and as a special promotion you can pick it with Starter.
Can you move my data from what I use now?
Yes, whatever system it is. Our team brings your customers, price lists, jobs and open quotes across. You keep working the whole time, and we tell you when it's safe to cancel each old app.
Is there a contract?
No. QuoteApp, Starter and Growth are all month-to-month. Cancel anytime and you simply aren't billed again.
