Question 1

What's the difference between a quote and an invoice?

Accepted Answer

A quote proposes pricing before work begins — it's not yet a request for payment. Once the work is done (or a deposit is due), turn it into a real invoice using the invoice generator.

Question 2

Does a quote need a due date?

Accepted Answer

No — quotes use a "Valid until" date instead, since you're proposing a price that may expire rather than requesting payment by a deadline.

Question 3

Is this quote generator really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Creating and downloading a quote costs nothing, with no usage limits and no credit card required.

Question 4

Can I turn a quote into an invoice later?

Accepted Answer

This generator doesn't automatically convert one to the other yet — but since it uses the exact same line items and tax calculation as the invoice generator, recreating it as an invoice once the work is confirmed is quick.
