For freelancers who live off quotes

Create the quote, send it as a PDF.
Carqo follows up if they go quiet.

Add your line items and VAT, Carqo generates the PDF with your business details, and you send it in one click. If the client doesn't reply, Carqo reminds them at 3, 7, and 14 days — in your voice, not a robot's.

The problem

Sound familiar?

You send the quote, then silence

You put real work into a custom quote, send it... and never hear back. Not even a "still looking at it."

You remember to follow up too late

By the time you finally sit down to write the reminder, three weeks have gone by — or they've already hired someone else.

You keep track of it all in your head

Who owes you a reply, since when, who you've already emailed twice... all mixed in with the rest of your work.

The solution

How it works

1

Add your line items

Client, items, quantities, and prices. VAT and the total are calculated for you, no calculator needed.

2

Carqo generates the PDF

With your logo and business details, ready to send — no need to open Word, Excel, or Canva.

3

Send it in one click

From your Gmail or from Carqo, with the PDF attached. As soon as it's sent, Carqo starts watching the clock.

4

If they don't reply, Carqo follows up

Automatic reminders at 3, 7, and 14 days, in your voice. As soon as the client replies, you close it and Carqo stops.

A quote with no follow-up is money evaporating

Carqo doesn't need to save ten projects a month for you. Recovering just one every now and then already pays for itself.

16×

times over you cover the subscription (€19/month) by recovering just one quote like that.

+€281

extra a month if you recover just one that would otherwise have gone quiet without follow-up.

An illustrative calculation with your own numbers — not an average across Carqo users (we don't have enough real data for that yet, and we weren't going to make it up).

Hi {{client name}}, I'm writing to see if you've had a chance to look over the quote...

Try it yourself

Play with the dashboard before signing up

No account, no signup. Click any of these sample quotes to see its follow-up history.

What Carqo doesn't do: it doesn't generate invoices or handle your bookkeeping, it doesn't negotiate for you, it doesn't close the deal in your place, and it won't spam your client — at most, 3 spaced-out, sensible reminders.

Trust

What Carqo does with your data (and what it doesn't)

Connecting your Gmail is optional, and send-only

You can use Carqo without connecting anything. If you connect your Gmail, we only ask for send permission — Carqo can never read your inbox, whether you connect it or not.

You write the content

You customize the subject and body of every follow-up your way, or use the defaults.

You're in control

At any moment you can mark a quote as accepted or rejected, and Carqo stops following up instantly.

No surprises in what gets sent

Follow-ups run on a fixed, visible schedule (at 3, 7, and 14 days) — nothing goes out without you knowing in advance.

All included

What Carqo gives you

Quotes with line items

Every item with its quantity and price — the subtotal and total recalculate on their own as you add them.

VAT calculated automatically

Set the rate, Carqo does the math. Never a miscalculated total on a real quote again.

Professional PDF

With your logo and business details, generated instantly — no design work on your end.

Sending with the PDF attached

From your Gmail or from Carqo, in one click — the client receives it just as if you'd sent it yourself.

Automatic follow-up

Up to 3 reminders at 3, 7, and 14 days if there's no reply, without you having to remember any of it.

Status dashboard

At a glance: draft, sent, interested, accepted, rejected, expired, or paused — and what to do with each one.

Who this is for

If you make a living sending quotes, this is for you

Design and branding

You send a brand identity proposal and the client takes weeks to decide. Carqo keeps following up for you while you focus on the next project.

Renovations and building work

A renovation quote is almost always compared against two or three others. Carqo runs the follow-up automatically while you're still on site, so you don't lose that client over a call you never got around to making.

Consulting

Silence doesn't always mean no interest — sometimes the client simply forgot to reply. Carqo reminds them tactfully, without you having to chase them yourself.

Photography

You quote a wedding or a shoot and the client takes their time comparing prices. Carqo keeps the conversation alive without you having to check in every week.

Architecture

Architecture projects get decided slowly. Carqo follows up for weeks so that not a single quote slips through the cracks.

Freelance development

You send a development quote and the client is still "looking at it" three weeks later. Carqo keeps following up sensibly while you code.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask before signing up

How do I create the quote and the PDF?

You add the client, the line items (description, quantity, and price), and the VAT rate. Carqo calculates the subtotal and total, and generates a PDF with your business details and logo — you see it before sending anything, and you can download it whenever you want.

Does Carqo send the emails for me?

You send the quote yourself, in one click, with the PDF attached. The reminders are the automatic part, following the follow-up schedule (3, 7, and 14 days), using the text you've set up in each template.

Does it generate invoices or handle my bookkeeping?

No. Carqo generates quotes (with line items, VAT, and a PDF), not invoices, and it doesn't handle your bookkeeping or file your taxes — you'll still need your accountant or invoicing software for that. Carqo is the tool you use to send the quote and make sure it doesn't go unanswered.

Can I connect my Gmail?

Yes, and it's optional: in Settings you can connect it so follow-ups go out literally from your own account (we only ask for send permission, never read access). If you don't connect it, follow-ups still go out the same way, with your name and Reply-To set to your email.

Do the emails look like I wrote them?

The content does: you decide what they say, with the client's name and quote details filled in automatically. The actual sending happens through Carqo's infrastructure, but in Settings you can set your name (shown as the sender) and a Reply-To address, so if the client replies, it lands straight in your inbox.

Can I edit the follow-ups?

Yes. From the Templates section you can edit the subject and body of each of the 3 reminders, or leave the defaults.

What happens if the client replies?

You mark the quote as accepted or rejected in your dashboard, and Carqo stops sending follow-ups for that quote immediately.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, and no card needed: once you confirm your email you can create and actually send your first quote (PDF + email) for free, with no payment details at all. For unlimited quotes and automatic follow-ups, activate the plan — with the launch promo the first month is completely free (that step does ask for a card, see the next question), and you're not charged anything until it ends. If you cancel before then from Settings, you don't pay a cent. After that, the next 3 months are €9.50/month (half price), and from the fifth month it's the regular price of €19/month.

Why do you need my card if it's free?

We only ask for it when you activate the automatic follow-up plan, never to try Carqo — you send your first quote with no payment details at all. We ask at that step to stop the same person from opening endless new accounts just to get free access forever, so we can offer a genuine full month, no limits, to people who actually want to try it. You're not charged anything during that month, you can cancel anytime from Settings in one click, and if you do it before the month ends, you pay absolutely nothing.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, it's a monthly subscription with no lock-in. From Settings there's a button to manage or cancel your subscription whenever you want, no need to email us.

Does Carqo replace a CRM?

No. Carqo focuses on quoting: creating the quote, sending it as a PDF, and following up if there's no reply. It doesn't manage a pipeline, contacts, or sales — you'll still want your CRM, spreadsheet, or Notion for that.

Just launched

No reviews here yet — and we weren't going to fake them

Carqo is a new product. We'd rather say that plainly than fill this section with made-up quotes. If you try it and it works for you, you could be one of the first to show up here for real.
