Quote a balloon job in a minute. Know what it pays before you send it.
Pick the pieces, give them a size. It works out the balloons and the hours, draws your client a picture of what they are getting, and sends a branded quote they accept from a link. No account for them, no back-and-forth for you.
For balloon designers who quote custom work — garlands, arches, walls, murals, ceilings. Priced in dollars and miles. It will not take your client’s payment or count your stock.
Free while we are in early access. $29 a month after that, and you will hear before it changes. No card. Works for one designer or a studio with several.
What you actually get
Quote a job in about a minute
Pick the piece, give it a size. It works out the balloons — 194 of them on this wall, by size — the hours, the drive, and what to charge. Change the size and every number moves with it.
See what the job really costs before you send it
Balloons, frames, tape, driving, the build, and the hours nobody invoices — design, messages, shopping, teardown. Every figure is a range, because an estimate is not a measurement and this app will not pretend otherwise.
Send a quote that gets accepted from a link
Your studio name, your color, your terms — and no software logo anywhere on it. The client opens it in a browser, presses accept, and the job comes back marked accepted. They never make an account.
One real job, priced by the app just now
A 13.5 ft balloon wall, 20 miles each way.

53% of that day is unbilled — design, messages, shopping, the drive, teardown. More than the 4.8 hours of building. Quote on the build alone and you work most of the day for nothing.
Where the money comes from
on this wall are design, messages, shopping, the drive and teardown — more than the 4.8 hours of building. Most quotes are priced on the build alone. Charging for the day instead is the whole difference.
One is obvious on its own quote. The year’s total is obvious nowhere, and it moves more money than every other pricing decision put together. This is the only place you will see it.
Your products ranked by what each one actually pays you an hour. The one you sell most is often the one paying least, and repricing just those is usually the fastest money in the business.
On your own
Everything is yours from the first quote. Your bag prices, your wages, how fast you build, your own price book. Nothing to set up before it is useful — it starts on a real studio’s figures and says so on every screen until you have replaced them.
With a team
Jobs, clients, the price book and the numbers belong to the studio, not to whoever typed them, so two designers quote the same piece at the same price. Roles are built in — owner, designer, viewer, and adding your second designer takes one email to us and is done the same day.
What it costs
Early access. There is no billing yet and nothing below is enforced — every studio with an account has all of it, free. These are the plans when it starts, and you will hear before that happens.
