# ScalePad Quoter Alternative: TurboQuote vs Quoter for MSPs

> Quoter, now ScalePad Quoter, charges by how many quotes you publish each month, starting at $299 a month for 75 on a 12-month term. TurboQuote comes with every TurboDocx plan for a fraction of that: Pro is $20 per user a month, there is a free plan you can run real quotes on, and the API and SDKs are included so you can automate quoting. Build the quote from your own catalog and price books, then send it with the MSA or SOW for one signature.

## Why TurboQuote

- **5 Free**: quotes per month, no credit card
- **$20/user/mo**: unlimited quotes in the app on Pro
- **Quote + Agreement**: merge the quote with your MSA or SOW, signed once
- **6 SDKs: TS, Python, PHP, Go, Java, Ruby**: official SDKs plus a verified n8n node

How TurboQuote compares to ScalePad Quoter on pricing, catalog, signing, and automation. Competitor details are cited below.

| Feature | TurboDocx (TurboQuote) | ScalePad Quoter |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What it is | The quoting module inside TurboDocx, the same platform that generates documents from templates and collects e-signatures with TurboSign | Quoting software for MSPs covering proposals, contracts, e-signature, and payments. ScalePad acquired Quoter in October 2023, and quoter.com now redirects to ScalePad |

| Free plan | Free plan with no credit card: 5 quotes and 5 signature documents a month | No free plan listed on the pricing page, which points to a demo |
| When you hit the monthly limit | Pro has no monthly cap on quotes created in the app. Free and Team include 5 and 15 quotes a month | You can still draft quotes and revise existing ones. New published quotes resume when the limit resets each month, or after upgrading to a bigger plan |
| Catalog and pricing | Your own product and service catalog with SKUs, categories, list price, and optional cost for margin tracking. Each line is billed one-time, monthly, or annually. Bundles package a service tier into one line, and price books carry a discount, valid-from and valid-to dates, and per-product overrides | Product catalog with bundles, optional items, and configurable products, plus cost, sell price, and margin tracking before the quote reaches the client |
| Getting your catalog in | Import products, bundles, price books, companies, and contacts from CSV or XLSX, up to 500 rows per import, with a review step that shows every row before anything is created | Line item CSV import and bulk line item updates.

| API and automation | REST API and official SDKs (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, PHP, Go, Java, and Ruby) for quotes, catalog, and price books, plus a verified n8n node that drafts quotes from your catalog | ScalePad API and MCP access for custom automation |

## Why Teams Choose TurboDocx

- It costs far less for the same job. A 3-person quoting team on Pro pays $60 a month, against $299 a month for Quoter Standard, and there is no 12-month term to sign before you find out it fits.
- It is built to be automated. Every plan, including Free, can use API keys, with a REST API, official SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, PHP, Go, Java, and Ruby, and a verified n8n node, so quotes can be drafted from your PSA, CRM, or RMM workflows instead of retyped.
- You pay for the people who quote, not for the quotes they send. On Pro, a busy month costs the same as a slow one, and a team trying it out can start on the free plan with 5 quotes a month.
- The quote and the paperwork go out together. Merge the quote with the MSA or SOW you generate in TurboDocx and the client signs once, with an audit trail on the signed copy.
- Your pricing lives in one catalog. Bundles hold your support tiers, price books hold client and segment rates, and the cost on each product shows margin while you quote.
- The rest of your MSP paperwork runs on the same platform. TurboDocx generates proposals, SOWs, and service reports from ConnectWise PSA, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Wrike data, so quoting is not one more tool with its own login.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is a good alternative to ScalePad Quoter?

TurboQuote is built for MSPs that want quoting at a reasonable price and an API they can automate. It is priced per user instead of by quote volume, it can be driven from your own workflows through the REST API, SDKs, and n8n, and it is the quoting module in TurboDocx, so the catalog, price books, quote PDF, and e-signature sit next to the document generation you use for MSAs, SOWs, and QBRs. It has a free plan, so you can test it on a live deal before you commit to anything.

### How much does ScalePad Quoter cost compared to TurboQuote?

ScalePad lists Quoter at $299 a month for 75 published quotes, $449 for 150, and $599 for 250, with unlimited users, billed monthly on a 12-month term plus an activation fee. TurboQuote is included in every TurboDocx plan: free for 5 quotes a month, Team at $10 per user per month for 15, and Pro at $20 per user per month with unlimited quotes in the app. A 3-person quoting team on Pro pays $60 a month, about a fifth of what Quoter Standard starts at, with no cap on quotes created in the app and API access included.

### Is ScalePad Quoter the same as Quoter?

Yes. ScalePad announced its acquisition of Quoter in October 2023, and the product is now sold as ScalePad Quoter. The old quoter.com address redirects to the ScalePad site.

### Can TurboQuote handle monthly services and one-time hardware on the same quote?

Yes. Every line carries its own billing frequency (one-time, monthly, or annual), so per-seat managed services can sit next to a firewall and an onboarding project on one quote. Quotes can also run a fixed term or renew automatically.

### How do I move my catalog from Quoter to TurboQuote?

Export your products to a spreadsheet and import them into TurboQuote from CSV or XLSX, up to 500 rows at a time. The same importer loads bundles, price books, companies, and contacts. It maps your columns, shows which rows will import before anything is created, and gives you an error report for any row that needs fixing.

### Do clients sign the quote and the agreement separately?

They do not have to. TurboQuote can merge the quote with an MSA or SOW generated from a TurboDocx template and send both as one package through TurboSign. The signed documents come back with an audit trail, and TurboSign signatures are legally binding under the ESIGN Act and UETA.
