Built by a painter — not a software company.
11 years on the ladder in Ticino, Switzerland. Painting is painting on any continent — and PaintQuote is built around how US painters quote: square feet, drywall, US dollars. It does one thing: painting estimates. Not fifty trades. One.
I’m Rico Schurter. I worked as a professional painter in Ticino, Switzerland for 11 years. I got tired of losing Sunday evenings to spreadsheets and of losing jobs to contractors who quoted faster than me. So I built PaintQuote AI.

Do you recognise this?
Three things kill quotes for residential painters. PaintQuote AI fixes all three — that’s the whole product.
You spend hours on every estimate
Drive home, sit at the kitchen table, dig through measurements, type it up in Word. By the time you hit send, the homeowner has already opened three other quotes.
Your quotes look the same as everyone else’s
A spreadsheet, a flat number, no breakdown, no options. The homeowner has nothing to compare except price.
Clients ghost you after you send the quote
No read receipt, no follow-up, no easy way to sign. You email it on Tuesday and wonder if they ever opened it.
PaintQuote AI solves all three. ↓
Not voice commands. A voice walkthrough.
Other apps bolted “voice” onto a form — you bark commands at fields: “create estimate, 2,500 square feet.” PaintQuote works the way you already work. You walk the job and talk the way you’d explain it to the homeowner:
“Living room — walls and ceiling, two coats, patch the nail pops. Master bedroom, walls only. Kitchen cabinets — refresh and two coats.”
That’s it. The AI turns the whole walkthrough into a priced, room-by-room estimate.

How it works
Three steps. No templates to set up, no production rates to configure first. You start with the walkthrough.
Walk the job site, talk into your phone
Open the app, hit record, describe the work the way you’d explain it to a homeowner. Pause, walk to another room, hit record again — every session stays attached to the same job.
AI writes the priced estimate
Whisper transcribes, Claude extracts measurements and surfaces, your saved rates handle the math. You review a draft with Good / Better / Best tiers before anything goes out.
Client opens it, signs, pays the deposit
They get a branded email or share link, sign on their phone (E-SIGN compliant), and pay the deposit through Stripe. You see the signature land in real time.
The AI drafts. You decide.
Painters worry that AI will fire off a wrong-price estimate. PaintQuote can’t — because the AI never does the math. It turns your words into line items; your own saved rates do the pricing; and you review every number before anything leaves your phone. Green is good to go, yellow asks you to confirm, red needs your input. A fully automated draft you stay fully in control of.
It learns your prices — not generic averages.
Every time you tweak a line — production rate, material, sheen — PaintQuote saves it to your own database. The more estimates you sign, the more it drafts at your real numbers. Within five to ten estimates the AI is quoting like you, not like a regional default.
See the output, three minutes later.
Your client sees a clean, single price by default — or Good / Better / Best tiers when you flip the toggle. They sign in-browser and pay the deposit through Stripe. You’re out of the spreadsheet for good.

FAQ
What makes founding pricing different?
The first 50 painters lock in $29/mo on the Starter plan instead of the standard $49/mo. Your founding price stays $29/mo for as long as you keep your subscription active — it never goes up mid-subscription. Activate any paid plan within 60 days of signing up to lock it in. Only the Starter monthly slot is discounted.
What happens after the 50 spots are gone?
Standard pricing kicks in: $49/mo Starter, $99/mo Professional. The 14-day free trial and 30-day money-back guarantee still apply.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no minimum term. Cancel from Settings → Billing in 30 seconds and your data stays available for 30 days in case you change your mind.
Does it work offline at the job site?
Your recording is saved on your phone as you talk, so you won't lose it if the app closes or refreshes. Generating and sending the estimate needs a connection — if you're offline when you finish recording, you can process it once you're back on data or wifi.
What if I already use another painting software?
Try PaintQuote AI on one real job during the 14-day trial. Talk through a walkthrough, see the priced estimate it produces, and compare it to whatever you use now. Most painters tell us the on-site voice-to-estimate is faster than anything else they have. You decide after seeing the output.
Is my client data secure?
Your customer list stays yours. It's encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM for sensitive fields like bank account numbers), backed up daily by Supabase with a 7-day rollback window, and shared only with the essential service providers listed in our Privacy Policy (hosting, email delivery, payments) for operating the Service. We never sell it, never use it for marketing, and never use it to train cross-customer AI models. Cancel anytime and take your data with you — we give you a one-click export.
What payment processor do you use?
Stripe. Your clients pay by credit card or ACH directly through Stripe’s secure checkout. Standard Stripe processing fees apply (2.9% + $0.30 card / 0.8% ACH capped at $5) and are deducted by Stripe, not us. Settlement timing and payout destination follow Stripe’s standard flow for your account.
How does the AI learn my pricing?
Every time you adjust a line item — production rate, material cost, sheen — the change writes back to your personal database. Within five to ten estimates the AI is drafting at your real prices, not generic regional defaults.
What if I need help setting up?
Reply to your founding email. You will get a real reply from Rico, usually inside 24 hours. Founding members get priority email support — direct, no support bot, no upsell.
Your next estimate doesn’t have to cost you Saturday morning.
