Every cost counted
Machine wear, power, tooling, consumables, scrap and outside work are priced in, so the margin you see is the margin you get.

Stop guessing. Stop underquoting.
Quotes in minutes
Pick the service, enter a few sizes and times. Builders and your saved operations do the rest, the same way every time.
Win the job faster
A clean branded quote, approved online with one tap, then a work order and an invoice your customer can pay by card.
Workflow quoting
Build the job the way your shop runs it
Lay out the job as operation cards: cut, bend, weld, finish, assemble. Each department charges its own rate, each machine its real hourly cost, and every material comes from your library on its own card.
- Sub-assemblies that feed the main assembly
- Hover any card to see its settings, click to edit
- Your services decide which departments and operations appear
Material and machines
Material priced by the pound. Machines priced by the hour.
Start from a standard library of structural shapes, sheet, plate, tube and acrylic with published weights. Set your price per pound once and every quote updates. Add your machines, including tabletop and homebuilt ones, and Customakr works out what an hour really costs.
- Nearly 3,000 standard sizes with weights
- Price changes flow to new quotes
- Tool wear and consumables included
Signs, cutting and printing
Builders for the work you do every day
Channel letters, sign boxes, pylons and wayfinding are laid out from a few dimensions. Laser, waterjet, CNC and 3D printing calculators price cut length, pierces, passes and print time, and Pro reads times straight from your G-code.
- Waterjet, CO2, fiber and diode lasers
- CNC routing, milling, turning and engraving
- FDM and resin printing with real machine costs
Win it, run it, get paid
From quote to paid invoice in one place
Send a branded quote and an approval link. Your customer accepts online, approves drawings and change orders, and pays the invoice by card. Accepted work lands on the job board as a work order your crew can follow, and job history shows the real profit.
- Email alerts when customers decide or pay
- Work orders and estimates sent to employees by email
- Approve quotes before they are sent (Team)

Questions
Do I need an account to try it?
No. Tap "Try without an account" and quote real jobs on your device. When you create a free account, your setup and quotes come with you.
Where do the prices come from?
From your own numbers: your shop rate, each department's rate, what your machines cost to run and your material prices. A standard library of common shapes and weights gives you a head start; you set the price per pound.
Can my customers approve without the app?
Yes. You send a link; they review the quote, drawings or change order in a browser and accept with their name. You see the decision right away.
How do card payments work?
You connect your own Stripe account. Customers pay your invoice by card and the money goes to your Stripe account, less Stripe's fee and a small Customakr fee shown before you turn it on.
Can I use it on my computer?
Yes. The web app has a full desktop layout with menus, and uses the same account as your phone.
What do you do with my data?
Your quotes, customers and prices are yours and are never sold. We measure how the app is used (which screens and features) to improve it, without your customers' contact details or your sales figures. See the privacy policy.
Your next quote could take five minutes.
