Quoter
MSP quoting and proposal software from ScalePad, priced by published quote volume rather than by seat
As of 30 August 2026, Quoter starts at $299/month. Quoting software built for managed service providers and IT resellers, with distributor pricing feeds and PSA integration. Softwr lists it under Proposals. Quoter is made by ScalePad Software Inc., available on Web.
Overview
What Quoter does
Quoter produces sales quotes and proposals for IT service businesses. It pulls product and pricing data from distributor feeds, applies templates and approval rules, sends a quote as an interactive web page that the customer accepts online, then pushes the accepted result into a PSA or accounting system so that procurement and invoicing follow automatically. It is now sold as ScalePad Quoter, part of the ScalePad product family alongside Lifecycle Manager, Backup Radar and ControlMap. The pricing model is the fact that changes a shortlist. Plans are 299, 449 and 599 USD per month and every one of them includes unlimited users, but they cap published quotes at 75, 150 and 250 per month respectively. Hit the cap and you can still draft quotes and publish revisions to existing ones, but new published quotes wait for the monthly reset or an upgrade. For an MSP with a large sales and service team that all issue occasional quotes, that is dramatically cheaper than per-seat proposal software. For a high-volume, low-value quoting operation it is the opposite, and the cost per quote is the number to calculate before signing. Buyers are managed service providers, IT resellers and telecom agents who quote hardware and recurring services together and need the result to reconcile with ConnectWise, Autotask or QuickBooks. The trade-off is specialisation: the product assumes MSP workflows, distributor catalogues and PSA reconciliation, so a professional services firm or an agency writing narrative proposals will find the configuration burden high and the document design options narrower than a general proposal tool.
What people use it for
- An MSP whose engineers and account managers all need to issue quotes without paying for a seat each
- Quoting hardware from distributor catalogues alongside a monthly managed services contract in one document
- Making accepted quotes land in ConnectWise or Autotask as orders without anybody retyping line items
- Telecom or IT agents who need current distributor cost and margin visible while building the quote

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about 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, with sources
Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
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.
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.
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.
Who owns Quoter now?
ScalePad. It is sold as ScalePad Quoter alongside Lifecycle Manager, Backup Radar, ControlMap and Cognition360.
