Pricing
Free to start, two paid plans, cancel any month.
Three plans, one product. Free is paid for by a marketing consent rather than money. Starter and Crew are paid monthly by card, in Australian dollars, with no GST added because we are not registered for it. Cancel from Billing in any month and the plan runs to the end of what you have paid for.

Pricing questions
Is there GST on top of the price?
No. We are not registered for GST, so $39 is $39 and $99 is $99. Your invoices, which you can open from Billing, show the amount charged with no tax line.
How do I pay?
By card, through a hosted payment page run by the card processor. Card details never pass through Quote Desk. Billing in the dashboard shows the plan, the next charge date, your invoices, a button to update the card and a button to cancel.
When does the month reset?
On the first of each calendar month, Melbourne time. Quotes and enquiries are counted in the month they happen. A quote send that fails is given back; a draft is never counted.
What happens if my card fails?
The dashboard shows a notice that the last payment did not go through, with a link to update the card. Your plan stays on while you fix it. Once a new card is saved the overdue payment is taken straight away. If it is not fixed and the plan ends, your account is paused: you can read everything but send nothing until you pick a plan again or move to Free by ticking the consent.
Can I move between plans?
Yes. From Free, the upgrade buttons in the dashboard take you to checkout for Starter or Crew. Between Starter and Crew, press "Move to" on the pricing page while signed in: the price changes in place on the card you have on file, the difference for the rest of the month is worked out on the spot, and Billing shows the new plan within a minute. To go down to Free, cancel at period end from Billing; when the plan ends, the Billing page offers Free again with its consent box.
Does paying change my listing on Talk of the Trade?
No. Quote Desk is a separate product. Paying for it buys quoting software and nothing else: no listing, no rank, no badge, no claim on a profile. The directory's rankings are by review count and are not for sale.
Will I be contacted about marketing on a paid plan?
No. A Starter or Crew sign-up carries no marketing consent, and moving up from Free withdraws the consent you gave there the moment the paid plan starts, so the marketing stops. After that you get only the emails the product needs to send, such as your welcome email and a password-change notice.
Is there a contract or a minimum term?
No. Plans are month to month. Cancel from Billing and the plan stops at the end of the month you have paid for. There is no cancellation fee.
How many people can sign in to one account?
One. Every plan, Crew included, is one account with one login: the owner's email and password. There are no staff logins and no charge per user. Crew raises the limits and adds the website form; it does not add logins.
Send the next one from the ute.
Free is five quotes a month, paid for by a marketing consent instead of a card. Past that, Starter is $39 a month. Either way the set-up is typing in your price list.
