Quoting is where small machine shops leak money.

The job goes wrong before the machine ever starts: a rate guessed from memory, a material price that changed last month, a margin squeezed to win the work. Most quoting tools fix this by charging you $100+ every month, forever. CostLogger fixes it 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.

Send it — Export a clean, branded quote with your shop’s name and terms. Email it to the customer the same hour the RFQ came in.

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.

Will it work for a one-person shop?

That’s exactly who it’s built for — owner-operated machine shops and job shops from 1 to about 25 people, where the person quoting is also running parts.

What if it’s not right for us?
