Why tradies choose Quotably over Simpro for quoting
AI-powered quoting that Simpro can't match
Quotably's AI extracts line items from text-based job documents, specifications, and scope of works — then matches them to your pricing. Simpro has no AI extraction capability. What takes hours manually in Simpro takes minutes with Quotably.
No enterprise complexity or setup costs
Simpro requires significant implementation time, training, and often consulting costs. Quotably is designed to be intuitive from the start — import your pricing, upload a document, and you're quoting with AI in minutes.
Save thousands per year
Simpro typically costs $200+ per month plus implementation fees that can run into thousands. Quotably starts free, with Pro at $79/mo. That's potential savings of $1,500-3,000+ annually on software costs alone.
Built for tradies, not enterprises
Simpro is designed for large field service operations with hundreds of features. Quotably focuses on what tradies actually need for quoting — AI extraction, BOQ management, professional quotes, and supplier shopping lists. No bloat.
Supplier shopping lists from your BOQ
Quotably automatically generates per-supplier shopping lists from your confirmed BOQ. Know exactly what to order, from whom, and at what cost. This workflow isn't available in Simpro's quoting module.
