The short version
- Each has a real cost: Prospect no longer available as a standalone product; has been discontinued and replaced by other solutions; 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: Prospect covers BIM visualization, Quoter covers Distributor pricing feeds.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Prospect
- No longer available as a standalone product; has been discontinued and replaced by other solutions
- Acquisition by The Wild in 2021 resulted in product discontinuation and transition to Workshop XR
- No ongoing development, bug fixes, or feature updates since acquisition
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
Prospect: What is Prospect by IrisVR?

SourceQuoter: 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.
Prospect: Is Prospect still available?
No. Prospect by IrisVR was acquired by The Wild in February 2021 and has been discontinued. Autodesk Workshop XR is now the recommended successor for AEC teams migrating from Prospect.
SourceQuoter: 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.
Prospect: How was Prospect priced?
Prospect's Team plan cost approximately $350 per workstation per month when billed annually. Earlier pricing information from 2020 showed starting prices around $225. Custom enterprise pricing was available.

Prospect: What VR headsets did Prospect support?
Prospect was compatible with major VR headsets including Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and later Meta Quest. Support depended on the runtime and connection method available.
