The real cost

The most expensive line in your budget is the one you forgot

Most quotes get written the night before they're due — from memory, or a spreadsheet you last touched three jobs ago. Travel, insurance, permits, licensing: something always slips. You spot it after the invoice goes out, when it's too late to charge for it. That money never comes back.

Before

A blank sheet, a day rate from memory, and a cost you notice two weeks after invoicing.

After

A budget that asks about every cost before you hit send — and a branded PDF the client takes seriously.

What it does

Everything a quote needs, nothing it doesn't

Never forget a cost again

Every template doubles as a checklist — insurance, permits, licensing, kit hire — built from 500+ real productions, so nothing slips through.

A real document, not a screenshot

A true A4 PDF with your own logo and accent colour — the kind of document a client expects from a studio, not an app.

Sharing that actually works

Send straight to WhatsApp on mobile — the real PDF attaches itself, no broken links or text-only promises.

Walk away with the profit margin you planned

Set the profit margin you want to keep, and the quote total adjusts to hit it — your line-item rates stay exactly as you wrote them.

Templates for how you actually work

Role-based templates for filmmakers, photographers, production companies and reels work — every rate yours to edit.

Frequently Asked

I already use a spreadsheet — why switch?
Your spreadsheet only knows the costs you remembered to put in it. The ones you forget — insurance, permits, kit hire — are the ones that quietly eat your fee. This asks about them before you send, and turns the answer into a document your client actually trusts, in about the time it takes to fill the sheet in.
Will the PDF actually look professional?
Yes. Clients judge the quote before they judge the work — a screenshot or a messy sheet reads as amateur before they've seen a single number. This is a true A4 document with your own logo and accent colour, built to look like it came from a studio.
Does it work for my kind of creative work, or just video?
There are templates for solo filmmakers, production companies, photographers, and reels/content work — plus a simple one that fits any freelance discipline. Every rate is yours to edit either way.
Are the built-in rates trustworthy?
They're starting points, not market benchmarks — clearly labelled as yours to edit. What they protect you from is the blank page: quoting from memory at 11pm is how costs get forgotten. The numbers are yours to change; the structure is what saves you.
Will sharing on WhatsApp actually send the PDF?
On mobile, yes — the real PDF attaches itself through your phone's native share sheet. No broken links, no text-only promises that leave your client chasing you for the actual file.

Why this exists

Built from 500+ real productions

This started as a spreadsheet built to cost real video productions. The same problem surfaced on every project: it's easy to forget a cost, and hard to turn a budget into something a client actually wants to receive. The tool fixed that for one filmmaker. This is that tool, rebuilt for any creative who quotes for a living.
