Speak to Quote vs VoxTrade: which fits how you quote?
These two are close neighbours — both turn what you say on site into a priced quote — so this is an honest comparison of where they part ways, not a scorecard. VoxTrade spreads wider: video walkthroughs, expense tracking and native phone apps. Speak to Quote goes deeper on the document and its answer: the UK paperwork — VAT, CIS, deposits, your registrations — and what happens after you press send.
What each one is
VoxTrade is a voice-quoting and invoicing app with native iOS and Android apps and a web version. Its advertised feature set covers voice notes in 100+ languages, video walkthroughs the AI analyses for rooms and measurements, photo and drawing analysis, quotes sent as a PDF by email or WhatsApp with e-signing, one-tap invoicing, receipt scanning and per-job profit tracking. Pricing runs from a free plan of five quotes and five invoices a month to a Pro plan at £14.99 a month with plan limits on transcription minutes and analyses.
Speak to Quote is the paperwork a job starts and ends with, by voice, in the browser. You say the job as you walk it; the AI turns it into line items priced from your own price book — a price it doesn't know comes back at £0, never invented; you check it and send a link the customer opens without installing anything. They accept online — ticking any optional extras — or decline with a reason, you see when it was first opened, and the accepted quote becomes the invoice with the deposit, CIS deduction and your bank details already in place.

When VoxTrade is the better choice
- You want a native phone app
VoxTrade ships iOS and Android apps from the app stores. Speak to Quote runs in the browser and installs to your home screen from there — which works well, but if an app-store app is what you trust, they have one and we do not.
- You quote by filming the job
Their AI analyses a video walkthrough for rooms, items and measurements. Speak to Quote reads plans and photos on Pro, but it does not take video.
- You want expenses in the same app
Receipt scanning, voice-dictated expenses and profit per job are advertised VoxTrade features. Speak to Quote stops at the invoice and gives your bookkeeper a CSV.
- You dictate in another language
VoxTrade advertises voice input in 100+ languages. Speak to Quote's dictation is English-first today.
- A free plan that refills suits you
Their free tier resets every month — five quotes, five invoices. Ours is three generations to start, plus three per friend you refer, and then it is a paid product. If you quote a couple of jobs a month and want to pay nothing, theirs fits and ours does not.
When Speak to Quote is
- The document has to be right for UK work
VAT shown the way the invoice will show it — or its absence stated; CIS deducted from the labour; a deposit requested on acceptance and carried into the invoice; your Gas Safe, NICEIC, TrustMark or any registration in the header and the badges along the bottom. None of that appears in VoxTrade's advertised features.
- You want the customer's answer, not just their signature
The link shows a live document, not an attachment: they accept online — with optional extras ticked and priced on the page — or tell you they are not going ahead and why; you see when it was first opened, and a quote nobody answered expires on its date instead of haunting your pipeline.
- Reminders should be yours to send
Nothing emails your customer in your name unless you switch it on — then at most two polite nudges, stoppable per quote. An automatic chaser you never asked for is the one thing this product refuses to send.
- You dictate a lot
On Pro there is no meter running: unlimited generations, no transcription minutes to count. A long walk-round on a big job costs the same as a socket swap.
- Prices must be yours
Your price book wins, what you said comes second, and a price the AI doesn't know is £0 for you to fill in — never a guess. On Pro, live web pricing looks up current material prices and shows its sources.
The price question, straight
Starter, at £11.45 a month, is cheaper than VoxTrade's Pro; our Pro, at £19.95, is dearer. What the extra buys is the depth: unmetered dictation, live web pricing with sources, and quoting from the building plans with every assumption written down for you to check. What their £14.99 buys instead is the breadth — video, expenses, native apps. Neither is padding; they are different bets on what a tradesperson's evening actually needs. Decide by the list above, not the headline number — and try both for nothing first, since neither asks for a card.
