Price 3D print jobs with your real costs—not a rough material multiplier. LayerQuote turns slicer estimates, printer costs, labor, fees, and your target margin into a clear customer price. Build each quote in a guided workflow, review it with Quote Check, then save or share a polished PDF. CALCULATE THE TRUE JOB COST • Account for filament and waste • Include electricity, machine depreciation, maintenance, nozzle wear, and failure risk • Add setup, design, and post-processing labor • Include packaging, shipping, fixed costs, and platform fees • Set a target margin and price-rounding rule IMPORT SLICER ESTIMATES Import compatible plain-text G-code exports from popular FDM slicers. LayerQuote reads time and filament metadata on your device and lets you confirm every value before pricing. Files are not uploaded, and printer commands are never executed. BUILD CUSTOMER-READY QUOTES • Add customer details, issue dates, and validity dates • See price, costs, profit, and margin in one place • Run Quote Check before finalizing or sharing • Preview, save, print, or share PDF quotes • Search, duplicate, and organize quote history • Create portable backups of quotes, profiles, and settings START FREE The free plan includes the complete calculator, basic G-code import, Quote Check, portable backup and restore, standard LayerQuote PDFs, 3 saved quotes, 1 printer profile, and 2 filament profiles.

Data leaves the app only when you choose to share a PDF or portable backup. LayerQuote provides estimates based on the costs and slicer metadata you enter. Review every quote before sending it to a customer. LayerQuote Pro is a one-month auto-renewable subscription.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hi at none against LayerQuote's 1. Hi also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
