Free Quotation / Estimate Generator — Professional Quote PDF Online
Before you invoice, clients often ask: How much will this cost? A clear quotation or estimate PDF sets price, scope, and expiry — so both sides know what was agreed.
CashPilot’s Quotation / Estimate Generator is a free quotation generator online: pick a template, add line items, set a valid-until date, download a clean PDF. Default currency is USD. Same 20 templates as invoices so your brand stays consistent from quote → bill.
Quotation vs invoice (quick)
| Document | Purpose | Typical fields |
|---|---|---|
| Quotation / estimate | Propose price before approval | Quote number, valid-until, optional client email |
| Invoice | Request payment after agreement | Invoice number, due date, client email usually required |
Workflow that works for freelancers and shops: send a quote → client confirms → open the Invoice Generator and bill the same amounts.
