In sheet metal, thin margins punish loose estimates.

Material prices move, and a quote built on last quarter’s sheet price gives your margin away before the first cut. Guess high instead and the work goes across town. Most quoting tools charge $100+ every month to solve this. CostLogger solves it for the price of a few sheets of stainless — once.

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, from cutting through finishing.

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.

Does it handle multiple operations per part?

Yes. A typical sheet metal quote strings together several operations — cut, deburr, form, weld, finish — each at its own rate. CostLogger prices each step from your rates and totals the job with your margin on top.
