Frequently asked questions
Is VoxQuote really free for locksmiths?
Yes โ the free tier has no trial timer; we plan to keep it free under our current pricing commitment. You get voice-to-quote dictation, AU GST + ABN, public quote links with accept + signature, and Stripe payment links. SMS + WhatsApp delivery is included during the 14-day Pro trial and on paid plans. The only ceiling is per-month voice-quote volume, after which you upgrade to Pro at $29/mo.
Does VoxQuote work on Android and iPhone?
Yes โ VoxQuote runs as a Progressive Web App (PWA), so it installs on any Android or iPhone (or desktop) in under 10 seconds from any browser. No App Store gatekeeping, no waiting for a native-app update to get a bug fix. Your quotes sync across devices.
Can I dictate a quote from the ute while driving?
You shouldn't dictate while driving โ it's unsafe and illegal. VoxQuote is designed for use when you're stopped: at a job site, before starting the next drive, or at a lights-out stop. The 30-second dictation is quick enough to fit into a natural pause in the day.
Does VoxQuote handle Australian GST and ABN?
Yes โ GST (10%) is added automatically to every quote, toggleable per job if you're under the $75k threshold. Your ABN is captured at onboarding via the Australian Business Register lookup and stamped on every quote and tax invoice.
What if my locksmith work is complex and voice isn't enough?
For complex multi-line work you can always switch to manual entry, paste a text brief, or snap a photo โ VoxQuote accepts all four entry paths. Voice is the fastest for 80% of AU tradie quotes; the other paths cover the rest.
Can I send quotes via WhatsApp, SMS, and email?
All three. VoxQuote delivers a public quote link to the customer via SMS, email, or WhatsApp (or all three simultaneously). The customer taps accept on their phone, signs with their finger or types their name, and you get a push notification.
