The short version
- Each has a real cost: Moxie each module is weaker than the specialist product it replaces, so a freelancer with a demanding requirement in any one area will find the bundled version limiting.; Quoter published quote volume is capped at 75, 150 or 250 per month depending on plan, so a high-volume, low-value quoting business pays for an upgrade it does not need in users or features.
- They diverge on capability: Moxie covers Proposals with e signature, Quoter covers Distributor pricing feeds.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Moxie
- Each module is weaker than the specialist product it replaces, so a freelancer with a demanding requirement in any one area will find the bundled version limiting.
- The shared data model that makes the bundle convenient also makes leaving expensive, because proposals, time entries and invoices come out as one tangled export rather than as separable tools.
- It is designed around a solo operator, so adding subcontractors, splitting revenue or managing a small team runs into limits quickly.
- Client payments are processed through a third party gateway, so the card processing fee applies on top of the subscription and should be modelled into the true cost per invoice.
- A large amount of published review material still refers to the product as Hectic, which makes independent research harder and dates much of what is written about it.
Quoter
- Published quote volume is capped at 75, 150 or 250 per month depending on plan, so a high-volume, low-value quoting business pays for an upgrade it does not need in users or features.
- Once the monthly cap is reached, new quotes cannot be published until the reset or an upgrade, which is a hard stop in the middle of a sales month rather than an overage charge.
- The product is built around MSP and IT reseller workflows, so a consultancy or agency writing narrative proposals gets a poor fit and a lot of unused configuration.
- It is now one product in the ScalePad suite, so roadmap attention and commercial packaging follow the wider suite strategy rather than the standalone quoting product it used to be.
- Document design flexibility is limited compared with proposal-first tools, so marketing teams that care about a branded, richly laid out proposal will find the output constrained.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Moxie: Is Moxie the same product as Hectic?
Yes. It was renamed in 2022. Older reviews under the Hectic name describe the same software at an earlier stage.
Quoter: Does the price really include unlimited users?
Yes. All three plans include unlimited users; the metered resource is how many quotes you publish each month.
Moxie: Does it take a percentage of my invoices?
The payment processor takes its standard card fee. Model that separately from the subscription when comparing total cost.
Quoter: What happens if I exceed my monthly quote limit?
You can still draft quotes and publish revisions to existing quotes, but new published quotes resume at the monthly reset or after an upgrade.
Moxie: Can I use it with a team?
It is built for a solo operator. Subcontractors and multi person billing are handled awkwardly.
Quoter: Is it only for MSPs?
It is designed for MSPs and IT resellers. It works for other resellers, but the distributor feeds and PSA integrations are the reason to buy it.
Moxie: Can I keep my accountant in the loop?
Yes, through the accounting integration, though most freelancers still reconcile manually at year end.
Quoter: Who owns Quoter now?
ScalePad. It is sold as ScalePad Quoter alongside Lifecycle Manager, Backup Radar, ControlMap and Cognition360.
Moxie: What is the exit path?
Exports exist, but the linked proposal, time and invoice data does not map cleanly onto separate replacement tools.
