Quote and invoice app for tradesmen in Ireland

Take a few photos, say what the job needs, and Quotebird drafts the quote from your own prices in euro, with VAT at Irish rates. The customer accepts and pays from a link.

Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.

  • Irish VAT invoices

From the call-out to the paid invoice

  1. Snap and talk

    Photos and a voice note at the job, before you’ve even left the house.

  2. Check the draft

    The lines come back priced from your own price book. Change anything you like.

  3. Send and get paid

    The customer accepts and pays the deposit from a link, and the quote becomes the invoice in one tap.

Made for tradesmen in Ireland

Talk the job through

“Replace the immersion and the cylinder thermostat in the hot press.” Quotebird turns the voice note and photos into drafted lines and quantities for you to check. A photo the customer sends you works as well: add it from your library.

Your prices, never the AI’s

The AI suggests the work; your price book sets every amount. Starter price books use the words Irish tradesmen use and metric units.

Accepted and paid from a link

Your customer opens the quote on their phone, accepts it and pays the deposit by card. Nothing to download for them.

How customers accept and pay quotes online
The customer’s page for a quote: the items, the total including 13.5% VAT, the payment plan and the right to cancel.

Quote to invoice in one tap

Invoices number themselves in order and are never deleted, only voided or credited. Record cash, cheques and bank transfers, or take cards in person with Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android.

Irish VAT and consumer law, on every page

Quotebird knows the difference between a quote agreed in your van and one agreed at the kitchen table, and prints what each one needs.

  • VAT invoices

    Your VAT number, each line’s VAT rate and its price before VAT, so one invoice serves a household and a business customer alike.

  • The right to cancel, 14 or 30 days

    Quotes agreed away from your premises carry the cancellation information and form from the Consumer Rights Act 2022: 14 days, or 30 after a visit the customer didn’t ask for.

  • The legal guarantee notice

    Where a job sells goods, the European Commission’s legal guarantee notice goes at the end of the document, unchanged.

  • Starting early, in writing

    If the customer wants you to start inside the cancellation period, they ask for it and sign on your phone, and a copy goes to them by email.

How the right to cancel works in Ireland

Quotebird adds the information and forms to your paperwork; it isn’t legal advice.

And the rest of the job

  • Deposits and stages

    Take a deposit when the quote is accepted, split a big job into stages, and invoice each stage when it’s done.

    How deposits and stage payments work
  • Change orders

    Extra work gets its own numbered change order. The customer signs it from the link before you start, and the totals follow.

    How extras and changes work
  • Reminders that chase for you

    Unpaid invoices get polite email reminders before and after the due date, sent in the daytime where you are. Turn them off for any invoice.

  • Your logo, your PDFs

    Every quote, invoice and receipt carries your logo and details, and a fixed copy of what you sent is kept.

  • Help inside the app

    Ask how to do something and get an answer from our help pages, with a link to the page.

  • Your data goes where you go

    Export every PDF and a CSV of your records at any time. Delete your account from the app, after the export.

Questions tradesmen in Ireland ask

Does it work with Irish VAT rates?

Yes. Each line on a quote takes a VAT rate, your usual one unless you pick another, and invoices show your VAT number, each line’s rate and the amount before VAT. If you’re not registered, VAT stays off.

What changes after a visit the customer didn’t ask for?

The Consumer Rights Act 2022 gives the customer 30 days to cancel instead of 14. Quotebird prints the right period from how the job came about.

Does the AI decide what I charge?

No. It suggests the lines, quantities and units from your photos and notes. Prices come from your own price book, and Quotebird works out tax and totals itself. You check every quote before it goes.

What happens to my job photos?

When you ask for an AI draft, the photos and voice notes for that quote go to our AI provider to suggest the lines. It doesn’t use them to train its models, and you switch AI drafting on yourself. More in our privacy policy.

Do I need a Stripe account?

Only to take card payments. You can send quotes and invoices and record cash and bank transfers without one. Quotebird opens the Stripe account for you from your profile, and the money goes straight to you.

Does it work without signal?

Yes. Everything but sending saves on your phone: write the quote in a basement or a loft, and it sends and syncs when you’re back online.

Can I bring my customers from another app?

Yes. Import your customers and price list from a CSV file exported from another app or a spreadsheet, and export every PDF and your records whenever you like.

Is there a plan for teams?

Not yet. Quotebird is built for the person running the jobs. Team features are on the way; you can ask to hear about them in the app.
