Never forget a cost again
Starters act as a checklist — insurance, permits, licensing, kit hire — built from 500+ real productions, so nothing slips through.
— The real cost
Gut-feel pricing costs more than it saves
Most freelance creatives quote from memory or a messy spreadsheet, and forget costs like travel, gear, insurance, or licensing until it's too late to charge for them. By the time you notice, the job's already underpriced.
Before
A blank spreadsheet, a guess at the day rate or project cost, and a missed cost you only spot after invoicing.
After
A structured budget that reminds you what to charge for, and a branded PDF ready to send.
What it does
Everything a quote needs, nothing it doesn't
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.
Pricing power, built in
Set a target profit margin and the Smart Margin Overlay adjusts your total to hit it — without touching your line-item rates.
Starters for how you actually work
Role-based starting points for filmmakers, photographers, production companies and reels work — every rate yours to edit.
From blank page to sent quote

This is what your client sees
A clean A4 document with your logo and your accent colour — not a screenshot of the app.
Quotation
Before you ask
I already use a spreadsheet — why switch?
A spreadsheet won't remind you about the costs you forget, or turn into a document your client actually trusts. This does both, in about the time it takes to fill one in.
Will the PDF actually look professional?
Yes — it's a true A4 document with your own logo and accent colour, not a screenshot of the app. It's built to look like it came from a studio, because that's exactly what it's for.
Does it work for my kind of creative work, or just video?
There are starters for solo filmmakers, production companies, photographers, and reels/content work — plus a simple starter 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. They exist to show you the shape of a well-built quote, not to tell you what to charge.
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.
— Why this exists
Built from 500+ real productions
This started as a spreadsheet — "Budget Maximizer" — built to cost real video productions across the region and beyond. The same problem kept surfacing 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 freelancer who quotes for a living.
