Quote Align

Normalize quotes into a line-by-line comparison and expose hidden costs

Problem
A small business received two electrical quotes with net totals only 3% apart, but one was a lump sum with no quantities or unit prices while the other had line items, making them impossible to truly compare. Similar situations repeat in procurement, renovation, and subcontracting.
Solution
Upload multiple PDF or Excel quotes, automatically extract items and prices, align them against a standard item list, flag missing, duplicate, and non-comparable items, and output a true cost difference with hidden-cost warnings.
Users
Small business owners, construction contractors, office admins, and renovation clients who need to compare quotes
MVP
Upload multiple quote files and auto-extract items and amounts; align against a user-provided item list; flag missing, duplicate, and non-comparable items; generate a line-by-line difference report; export to PDF or spreadsheet
Revenue
Pay-per-report or monthly subscription; team plan for contractors and admins
Why now
SMB quotes are still a mix of PDF and Excel, LLM extraction is now cheap and reliable, and generic comparison tools don't handle unstructured quotes
