Best AI quoting apps for Australian tradies

Quoting is the job most tradies put off until late at night. These apps let you describe the job by voice, text, photos or plans and get a priced draft quote built from your own rates, so you just check it and send it. None of them should set your price for you: always read every line before it goes to the customer. Here's how the AI quoting tools on HiVis AI compare.

Korda Pro

New 🇦🇺 AU-friendly

Send a WhatsApp voice note and Korda Pro drafts the quote or invoice, then chases payment into Xero.

Verdict: A genuinely low-effort way to get quotes out and money in if you live in WhatsApp and use Xero. It's new, and it doesn't do scheduling or job management, so pair it with a diary or job app.

Price: Essentials A$49/month ex GST. Intro offer of A$29/month for the first 3 months for sign-ups before 1 January 2027. 14-day free trial, no card.

Insta Quotes

🇦🇺 AU-friendly

Aussie quoting app that turns a voice note, photo or description into an itemised quote.

Verdict: Cheap, simple AI quoting with deposits and auto-invoicing built in. It's a small, founder-run business, and the default market-rate prices are only a starting point, so load your own rates before sending.

Price: Tier 1 A$29/month (30 quotes), Tier 2 A$59/month (60 quotes, voice/photo, 2 users), Tier 3 A$99/month (unlimited, 5 users). 7-day/7-quote free trial, no card.

Sammy

🇦🇺 AU-friendly

AI estimator for AU/NZ tradies: voice note, photos or plans in, priced quote out.

Verdict: One of the more complete AI quoting tools for AU trades, and it now handles the job after the quote too. We haven't verified its time-saving claims, so run a few real quotes through the free week and check the numbers yourself.

Price: Sammy Pro A$99/month inc GST (1 user). Team A$249/month inc GST (3 users). 7-day free trial, no card, no contracts.

NO BULL

🇦🇺 AU-friendly

New Aussie platform for tradie quoting, AI bill parsing, cashflow and SWMS.

Verdict: Promising and very AU-focused, but it's a new, small player. We haven't verified its claims or testimonials. Run a real job through the free trial before moving your books.

Price: Solo A$49/month, Crew A$99/month (up to 10 staff), Business A$149/month (unlimited staff). 14-day free trial, no card.

Tradify

🇦🇺 AU-friendly

Job management for small trade businesses: quotes, scheduling, timesheets and invoices.

Verdict: A solid, simple all-rounder for small crews. The AI is limited: it helps with writing and reading bills, but it won't build a quote for you.

Price: Lite A$48, Pro A$52, Plus A$62 per user/month (ex GST). 14-day free trial, no lock-in.

Common questions

Can AI write a quote for my trade business?

It can draft one. Apps like Yamate, Estimo, Korda Pro and Sammy turn a voice note, typed description, photos or plans into a priced draft using your own price list or rates. You still need to check every line, quantity and the total before it goes to the customer, because the quote is your commitment.

How much does an AI quoting app cost in Australia?

Of the tools listed here, Yamate is A$29 a month for up to 3 people (A$19 founder price for sign-ups by 30 November 2026), Estimo has a free plan and Core at A$39 a month, Insta Quotes starts at A$29 a month, Korda Pro is A$49 a month ex GST and Sammy Pro is A$99 a month inc GST. Prices change, so check each vendor's site.

Do I need a full job management app or just a quoting app?

If you already use something like Xero for invoicing and only hate writing quotes, a quote-focused tool like Insta Quotes or Korda Pro is enough. If you're running jobs out of texts and spreadsheets, an all-in-one like Yamate, Estimo, NO BULL or Tradify carries the quote through to the job and the invoice without retyping.

Which AI quoting apps are Australian?

Yamate, Estimo, Korda Pro, Insta Quotes, Sammy, NO BULL and Tradify are all Australian or built for Australian tradies with AUD pricing and GST. You can also try the free HiVis Quote AI drafting tool on this site.
