How is this different from accounting software?

Accounting packages do a great deal: invoices, bank imports, tax filings, annual accounts. That makes them powerful, but also complex and sometimes expensive. For many self-employed people, 80% of those features are unnecessary for day-to-day work.

DoneQuote does one thing and does it well: making quotes. The focus is on the fastest, smartest path from "customer asks for a price" to "quote is sent". The AI, the service catalog, the photo analysis, the client portal: everything is built around that one process. There are no invoices, no bank connections, no tax filings.

That also means DoneQuote sits well alongside an accounting package. You make the quote in DoneQuote, the customer approves, and once the job goes ahead you create the invoice in your accounting software. Both tools do what they're good at. Some users prefer working this way, others like one tool for everything. That's a personal choice.
