What's the best quoting app for plumbers in Australia?
Insta Quotes is an AI quoting app for Australian and New Zealand plumbers that turns a job description into an itemised, GST-ready quote in under 30 seconds; plans start at $29 AUD a month. A sample Insta Quotes plumber quote itemises the job into unit, plumbing, removal and labour lines.
How much does Insta Quotes cost for a plumber in Australia?
Insta Quotes plans are billed in AUD: Tier 1 $29 AUD, Tier 2 $59 AUD and Tier 3 $99 AUD a month. New accounts start with a free 7-day trial, capped at 7 quotes in total rather than per month, with no credit card required, so plumbers in Australia can quote before paying.
How much should a plumber charge per hour in Australia?
Plumber labour, per hour in Australia: Platform average $120.64/hr (2026); some plumbers also charge a separate call-out fee (source: ServiceSeeking plumber price guide, Feb 2026 (marketplace average, estimate; GST not stated)). Rates vary by city and experience, so in Insta Quotes you set your own hourly rate and every quote is priced from it.
Is there a free plumber quote template?
Yes. Our plumbing quote template guide walks through the layout section by section. In Insta Quotes the AI fills that layout in for you from a description of the job, with fixtures, fittings and labour on separate lines, and every plan exports the finished quote as a PDF or Word document.
What does a good plumbing quote example look like?
Each fixture, fitting and run of pipe gets its own line, with materials and labour hours shown separately, then GST as its own line under your ABN. Below that sit your payment terms, what's excluded and the date the quote expires. Insta Quotes lays the PDF out that way, with exclusions in their own box so they can't be missed.
How do I quote a plumbing job?
Describe the job in a sentence, such as "replace a 250L electric hot water unit with gas continuous flow", and the AI drafts priced line items using your own hourly rate and materials markup from Settings. Change any line by hand or ask the AI to adjust it, then email the quote to the client from the app.
How do customers compare quotes from different plumbers?
Line by line, if you let them. A client holding three plumbing quotes can only compare like for like when parts, labour and exclusions are itemised. Insta Quotes itemises every line, lists exclusions in their own box, and lets you add optional upgrades, such as a better mixer, that sit outside the total until the client chooses them.
Can I send plumbing quotes online and take a deposit?
Yes. Email the quote straight from the app and the client gets a PDF with an accept link, so they can say yes without printing or signing anything. Switch on a deposit and they pay it when they accept. When the job's finished, turn the accepted quote into an invoice without retyping it.
