Estimating software for job shops — without the subscription.

In a job shop, estimating time is unpaid time.

One-off work means constant quoting — and only a fraction of it lands. Every hour spent estimating a job you don’t win is pure overhead. Most estimating tools answer that with a $100+ monthly bill, forever. CostLogger cuts the time per quote for the price of one tooling order — once.

How it works

Set up your rates — Enter your machines, hourly rates, material costs, and standard margin. Takes minutes, saved forever on your device.

Build the quote — Pick the operations, hours, and material for the job. CostLogger does the math and shows your cost, price, and margin as you type — even on jobs you’ve never run before.

Send it — Export a clean, branded quote with your shop’s name and terms. Turn RFQs around the same day, not the same week.

Common questions

Is this cloud software?

No. CostLogger runs in your web browser but stores everything on your own device. No account, no login, no server holding your rates. That’s deliberate — your pricing is the most confidential number in your shop.

What does it cost after the first year?

Nothing. $599 is the entire price, once. Bug fixes and minor improvements are included. There is no annual fee, no maintenance contract, and no subscription of any kind.

We quote dozens of jobs a week. Will this keep up?

Yes — that’s the point. Your rates and materials are already loaded, so each new quote is a few picks and a couple of numbers. The math and the formatting are instant. High quote volume is exactly where the time savings show up.

What if it’s not right for us?
