Know your profit before you send the quote.

Stringle prices jobs from your real labour and running costs, shows your markup and break-even while you build the quote, then sends the customer a clean PDF that never reveals any of it.

The problem

Most operators quote with a guess and hope for the best.

Quoting from a gut feel.

You said US$315.00 because it felt about right. It cost you US$302.40. You earned US$12.60 for 8 hours.

No idea which jobs actually made money.

The bank balance moves. Nothing tells you which jobs were carrying you and which ones were costing you.

The same job quoted three different ways.

Same house, same hours, three prices, depending on the mood you were in.

How it works

Four steps, and the last one is the one nobody else does.

1

Set your hourly cost once.

What an hour of work actually costs you, including consumables and travel.

2

Pick the job type and answer a few questions.

You enter the hours from your own estimate — Stringle works it out and shows your markup.

3

Send a quote that shows only what the customer should see.

Scope, inclusions, price and tax. Nothing else.

4

Tell it how long the job really took.

One number when you mark the invoice paid. Stringle shows you what you actually earned, and quotes better next time.

Why not a free invoice app?

Free invoicing apps tell you what you charged. Stringle tells you what you should charge.

A free invoice app gives you:

  • A tidy document with your logo on it
  • A payment link
  • A record of what you sent and who paid

All genuinely useful, and Stringle does not replace your accounting software.

None of them give you:

  • Your true cost per hour, worked out properly
  • The break-even price for this job, before you quote it
  • Your markup while you are still deciding the number
  • The answer to "did that job actually make money?"

Stringle is the five minutes before the invoice, and the one minute after the job. Those six minutes decide whether the year was profitable.

Your costs never go on the quote

The customer sees a clean quote. You see the truth.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Your costs, markups and catalogue are stored in your Stringle account, are never shown to your customers, and are never included in any customer document. That is enforced in the code, not left to you to remember. You can export everything and delete your account at any time.
