QuoteCompare – Structured vendor quote comparison

Drop in three vendor quotes and get a line-by-line comparison plus negotiation points

Problem

Small business owners have no system for comparing multiple vendor quotes; they mostly eyeball the price and pick whichever feels least sketchy. Quotes come in different formats, terms are scattered across PDFs and emails, and manual comparison misses hidden fees or differences in scope.

Solution

Upload quotes from PDF, images, or email and let OCR plus an LLM extract line items, unit prices, quantities, payment terms, and validity dates. The tool produces a normalized side-by-side comparison with highlighted differences, lets you mark must-haves, and generates negotiation talking points.

Users

Small business owners who frequently buy services or materials, office and procurement staff, renovation and event organizers

MVP

Upload and auto-extract quote fields; side-by-side comparison table; difference highlighting and must-have flags; PDF/Excel export; negotiation question generator

Revenue

Pay-per-use or subscription: 5 quotes free per month, unlimited for $10/mo; annual plan for heavy procurement teams.

Why now

Document understanding models are cheap and accurate enough, and OCR plus structured extraction is mature. SMB procurement is still a digital blank spot, and an indie dev can build this entirely on APIs without industry resources.
