[Read what CPQ means and what it stands for](https://www.turbodocx.com/resources/what-is-cpq-software.md). ## What should CPQ software include? Whatever tool you pick, these are the jobs a CPQ quoting tool has to do. Here is how TurboQuote covers each one. | What to look for | How TurboQuote does it | | --- | --- | | A shared product catalog | Products and services with SKUs, categories, descriptions, list price and an optional cost, so you can see the margin on each deal. | | Bundles | Group products that sell together into one line, and choose whether the customer sees the price of each item inside it. | | Price books and discounts | Separate price lists for a customer tier, region or promotion, each with a discount, valid-from and valid-to dates and per-product overrides. | | Recurring and one-time billing | Each product is billed monthly, quarterly, annually or one time, and all four can sit on the same quote. | | Customer records | Companies and contacts live next to the catalog, so you can quote without connecting a CRM first. | | A professional quote document | Numbered quotes in your own numbering format, branded, downloadable as a PDF, in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD or INR with a tax rate per quote. | | Signature in the same place | Send the quote on its own, or merge it with a contract or SOW generated in TurboDocx and send one package for e-signature through TurboSign. | | An API for automation | API keys on every plan, including Free, a REST API, official SDKs in 6 languages (TS, Python, PHP, Go, Java, Ruby) and a verified n8n node. | ## How does the TurboQuote CPQ quoting tool work? 1. **Import your catalog**: Upload products, bundles, price books, companies and contacts from a CSV or XLSX file, up to 500 rows per import. Map the columns and review every row before anything is created. 2. **Set up price books**: Create a price book for each customer tier, region or promotion. Its discount and any per-product overrides apply to a quote in one step. 3. **Build the quote**: Pick the customer, add products and bundles from the catalog, apply the price book and set the tax rate. TurboQuote numbers the quote and lays out the line items and totals. 4. **Send it for signature**: Send the quote for e-signature, alone or merged with the contract or SOW. Its status moves from draft to sent, then to accepted, declined or voided. The [creating a new quote guide](https://docs.turbodocx.com/docs/TurboQuote/Creating-a-New-Quote) walks through the first quote screen by screen, and the [bulk import guide](https://docs.turbodocx.com/docs/TurboQuote/Bulk-Importing-from-a-Spreadsheet) lists every column. ## How much does TurboQuote cost?

Yes. TurboQuote is CPQ software included in the free TurboDocx plan, with no credit card. The free plan covers 5 quotes a month for a single user, with the product catalog, bundles, price books and 5 e-signature documents a month. Team raises the limit to 15 quotes a month at $10 per user a month, and Pro includes unlimited quotes in the app at $20 per user a month. ### What is a CPQ quoting tool? A CPQ quoting tool builds a quote from a shared product catalog and price books instead of a blank document. The rep picks products and bundles, the tool applies the right prices and discounts, and it produces a numbered quote ready to send for signature. ### Do I need a CRM to use TurboQuote? No. TurboQuote keeps its own companies and contacts next to the catalog, so you can quote without connecting a CRM. If you want your CRM or another system to create quotes, it can do that through the TurboDocx API, the official SDKs or the n8n node. ### Can one quote mix recurring and one-time items? Yes. Each product carries a billing frequency of monthly, quarterly, annual or one time, so a monthly service, an annual license and a one-time install can sit on the same quote. ### Can I create quotes through an API? Yes. Every plan, including Free, can use API keys. The REST API and the official SDKs (TypeScript, Python, PHP, Go, Java, Ruby) cover quotes, products, bundles and price books. On Pro, quotes created with an API key are capped at 60 a month; quotes created in the app stay unlimited. ### How do I move my price list into TurboQuote? Import it from a CSV or XLSX file. Products, bundles, price books, companies and contacts each import up to 500 rows at a time, with column mapping and a review of every row before anything is created. ### Which currencies and taxes does TurboQuote support? Quotes can be in US dollars, euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars or Indian rupees, and each quote carries its own tax rate. ## Try TurboQuote on a real deal Import your catalog, build a quote and send it for signature on the free plan.
