I Built a Free Quote & Estimate Form Generator (Because Jotform Charges $29/Month)

Small contractors and freelancers send estimates and quotes to clients — maybe a few times a month, sometimes less. Yet Jotform charges $29/month for that capability. That's $348 a year, every year, just to generate professional-looking estimate forms.

For a freelancer who needs to send a quote because the job says so, that's absurd.

So I built a free alternative.

Quote & Estimate Request Form Generator runs 100% in your browser. Fill the form with client info, project details, line items with quantities and rates, add your terms and notes — then export to PDF. No account, no uploads, no subscriptions.

What you get:

  • Client information section (name, company, contact, project address)
  • Project details with title and description
  • Line items with description, quantity, and rate — auto-calculated
  • Subtotal, tax rate, discount, and total calculations
  • Payment terms and additional notes section
  • Contractor information (company name, license number)
  • Client signature block for acceptance
  • Live preview as you fill the form
  • One-click PDF export — no server, no uploads
  • Works offline after first load
  • Your data never leaves your browser
  • No signup, no email, no waiting
  • Free forever — no paywalls, no watermarks

vs Jotform: $29/month = $348/year. This is free.

Built for freelancers, contractors, and small trade businesses who need to send professional estimates — not manage a form portfolio.
