The key difference
A quote is sent before work begins to propose a price. An invoice is sent after work is complete to request payment.
When to send a quote
Send a quote when a client asks how much a job will cost. Once they accept the quote, you can begin work.
When to send an invoice
Send an invoice when the work is complete. The invoice requests payment based on the agreed price.
Can a quote become an invoice?
Yes — once a quote is accepted, you convert it directly to an invoice. Our PRO plan lets you do this in one click.
