Small machine and fab shops have had two choices: a spreadsheet that cannot see the floor, or an ERP built for a plant ten times their size. Quotara is built for the shops in between. Quoting, work orders, scheduling, floor time and job costing in one place, priced per shop and running the same day.
Every option is good at something. Only one runs the whole job and feeds what it learns back into your next quote.
Free, flexible, familiar.
Cannot see the floor. The quote, the invoice and the cost sheet drift apart, and nobody learns what the job really took.
Fast, good-looking quotes.
Stops when the quote goes out. The work order, the schedule and the real hours live somewhere else, if anywhere.
Deep, with a module for everything.
Built for bigger plants. Priced after a sales call, often per user, and set up over months.
Quote to work order to schedule to floor time to job costing, in one system built for shops of 1 to 30 people.
Per shop, published, from CA$79 a month. Free for 14 days, no credit card.
Start free trial →Quoting fast gets you in the running. Knowing what your last job really cost is what lets you price the next one to win and still make money. That is the loop Quotara runs for you, every job.
A lot of shop software charges for every login, so the logins get rationed and the floor stays on paper. Quotara charges for the shop. Put your estimator, your foreman and your crew on it.
Same job on both sides: quoting, work orders, the schedule, floor time and job costing. Drag to your crew size and pick the per-user price you've been quoted.
That's CA$5,892 a year back in your shop at 8 people.
See every plan →Smaller shop? Quote is CA$79 a month for one estimator, and Starter is CA$149 for up to 3 users.
Per-user rates are examples for illustration, not any specific product's price. CA$ amounts convert US$ rates at 1.40 (October 2026). Quotara prices are monthly list prices from our pricing page.
