An InkSoft alternative for shops that just need quoting
InkSoft is a serious platform: online stores, art approvals, production workflow and automated pricing grids, with published plans that generally sit in the $299–$419/month range. For a shop running team stores and a sales staff, that's a real return.
For a shop that quotes by phone and email, it's several thousand dollars a year for a pricing grid. PressQuote is the grid, the quote and the invoice — $29/month flat.

Who should stay on InkSoft
If online stores drive your orders — school spirit wear, corporate team stores, fundraiser campaigns — that's the whole reason InkSoft exists, and no $29 quoting tool replaces it. Same if multiple staff need art approvals and production status in one system.
Who should switch
Shops that quote by phone and email
If orders arrive as conversations rather than through a storefront, you're paying for a shop you don't use.
Shops under about five people
Below that size, most workflow features replace a conversation you were going to have anyway.
Anyone who wants their own payment processing
Your Stripe payment link goes on the invoice; the money never routes through us.
