Talk the job for ninety seconds. Get the yes before the truck leaves.
A plumber or electrician talks a voice note on site. Quote Me turns it into a priced quote from your own rate card, sends the customer one link, and takes the deposit — from their bank account with no card fee, or a card — while you're still in the driveway.
Quote Me, plainly
What it does, what it does not do, what it costs, and how to start.
What it does
- Turns a 90-second voice note into a priced quote from your own rate card.
- You tap Reviewed before a quote can be sent.
- Shows your profit and margin on every quote before you send it, from your own costs. Only you see it.
- The customer accepts by typing their name and pays the deposit by bank debit or card, into your own Stripe account.
What it does not do
- Not a job-management platform: no dispatch board, scheduling or inventory.
- Not an accounting system.
- Does not judge the job. It prices what you said, so check it before you send.

Start your 14-day free trial01 How it works
Four steps, one site visit.
No typing, no form, no app for the customer to install.
Talk it in.
Ninety seconds on your phone, standing in the customer's basement: what's wrong, what you'll do, what parts it takes. No typing, no form.
It's priced from your rate card.
Your labour rate, your markups, your usual parts — not an industry average. You see the quote first and change anything before it goes out. You must tap Reviewed before any quote can be sent — the AI never sends a price you haven't looked at.
The customer gets one link.
One email with the quote attached as a PDF and a link to it. They read the quote and type their name to accept it. No app to install and no account to make.
Deposit in, then you leave.
They pay the deposit from their bank account or by card, right there on their phone. You get an email the moment they accept and another when the deposit is paid. Card payments land right away; bank payments take a few business days to clear. Either way, the truck leaves with the job booked.
The test quote is a made-up job for a made-up company. Open it on your phone, read it the way a customer would, type a name to accept. The demo walks through the other side: voice note in, priced quote out.
02 Why bank debit
A few dollars, not a percentage.
A deposit from the bank account costs you a few dollars. The same deposit on a card costs a percentage. Quote Me offers the customer bank debit first — a pre-authorized debit straight from their chequing account — and a card as the fallback. Here is why, using Stripe's published Canadian rates.
| Deposit | Card — 2.9% + CA$0.30 | Pre-authorized debit — 1% + CA$0.40, capped at CA$5.00 |
|---|---|---|
| $300 | $9.00 | $3.40 |
| $500 | $14.80 | $5.00 |
| $1,500 | $43.80 | $5.00 |
| $4,000 | $116.30 | $5.00 |
Source: Stripe Canada published pricing, checked 21 Sept 2026 — verify before quoting. Cards: 2.9% + CA$0.30. Pre-Authorized Debit: 1% + CA$0.40, capped at CA$5.00 per transaction, plus CA$5.00 on a failed or disputed debit. Stripe changes its pricing, and your own Stripe account may be on different terms. The dollar figures above are arithmetic from those two rates, nothing more.
Deposits go straight to the contractor's own Stripe account. Calas Automations never holds client funds.
The honest trade-off
A card payment lands right away. A bank debit is authorized on the spot but the money confirms over the following business days, and like any pre-authorized debit it can be disputed by the account holder. You decide which to offer, and the customer decides which to use. Quote Me just puts the cheaper one first.
03 What it is not
It quotes and it collects. That's the whole job.
What Quote Me does
- Turns a voice note into a priced, written quote from your rate card.
- Puts the photos you take of the old parts on the supplier order, so the counter can see what you’re replacing.
- Sends the customer one link; records their acceptance by typed name.
- Takes the deposit, bank debit or card, and tells you when it lands.
- Keeps a copy of every quote and acceptance so you can find it later.
- Shows what the job makes you before you send it: your cost on each part, fills in itself from your supplier price list, with profit, markup and margin under the total. It turns red when a job is under a 25% margin. Customers and your techs never see your costs.
- For Manitoba jobs, puts the prompt-payment dates on each invoice you send: when the customer must raise a dispute (14 days) and when payment is due (28 days). A reminder for you, not legal advice.
What it is not
- Not a job-management platform. No dispatch board, no scheduling, no inventory, no timesheets.
- No onboarding. You send us your rate card, we load it, you talk your first quote. If you already run Jobber or ServiceTitan and it's working, keep it.
- Not an accounting system. It hands you the numbers; your bookkeeper still books them.
- Not a judgement on the job. It prices what you said. If you said the wrong thing, fix it before you send.

04 Pricing
One price, said plainly.
For plumbers, electricians, HVAC and similar trades in Manitoba. Quote Me is in early access and the price is being set with the first contractors who use it. Here is the current number, plainly.
Quote Me
Per shop (CAD) — no setup fee, no contract, cancel any time.
Price rises after the first ten shops.
- Try it free for 14 days — everything works, sending quotes included, and no card is needed.
- After that, a plain guarantee: if Quote Me isn’t for you, ask within 60 days of signing up and we refund every subscription payment. No conditions.
- Needs
- Your rate card (a spreadsheet, a photo of the sheet in the truck, whatever you have) and a phone that can record a voice note.
- Payments
- Run through your own Stripe account. Deposits go straight to you; Calas Automations never holds client funds. Stripe's fees are Stripe's, as above.
- Leaving
- Cancel any time; you're never billed again. Your quotes and acceptances are yours to take.
For comparison (checked 21 Sept 2026, list prices, verify before quoting): Joist $10–$70 USD/mo for estimates and invoices; Jobber from $49 USD/mo (about C$69); Housecall Pro from $79 USD/mo (about C$111). All three offer 14-day trials. Quote Me is priced between the invoice apps and the full job-management suites because it does one thing those don’t: a voice note in, an accepted quote and a deposit request out, before the truck leaves.
Early access, plainly
Quote Me works, and it's new. The first contractors on it will find rough edges we haven't found yet. You deal directly with the people who build it, so things get fixed fast and you'll always know what's what. If you'd rather wait until it's boring, that's fair — say so and we'll tell you when.
Questions
Five things people ask.
Do I need an app?
You use Quote Me in your phone’s web browser, so there is nothing to install from an app store. Your customer needs no app and no account either: they get one link by email, read the quote and type their name to accept.
What if a customer doesn’t pay the deposit?
You get an email when they accept and another when the deposit is paid, so you can see which quotes have not been paid. A bank debit takes a few business days to clear and, like any pre-authorized debit, can be disputed by the account holder; a card payment lands right away. Quote Me tells you where each quote stands. What you do next is your call, and deposits go straight to your own Stripe account.
Who sees my data?
Your quotes, rate card and customers’ details are used only to run Quote Me for you. Only our staff and the providers who need it to run the service can see them, and we do not use your content to train AI models. Card and bank details go to Stripe, not to us. The providers and where they are located are listed in our Privacy Policy.
What if it gets the price wrong?
It prices what you said from your own rate card, and it can be wrong. That is why you must tap Reviewed before any quote can be sent: you see the quote first and can change anything. Check it before you tap, because you are the one sending it.
How do I cancel?
Cancel any time and you are never billed again; your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. Use your account where the app offers it, call (431) 244-9026, or email [email protected]. Within 60 days of signing up you can also ask for a refund of every subscription payment. Your quotes and acceptances are yours to take.
