Quotebook, by Page for Plate
Every vendor on the same revision.
Quotebook keeps one workspace for each machine or part you are quoting. It records what every vendor was sent, and warns you the moment one is quoting from an old drawing.

Five vendors, one drawing, three revisions.
Buying a custom machine, fixture or batch of parts means running the same conversation with several vendors at once, over email, calls and chat. The quotes are the easy part. The hard part is knowing who has rev C, who heard your target price, and what you promised whom.
How it works
Four steps, in the order a quote actually runs.
- Rev A
Create a project
Name the machine or part. The project gets its own forwarding address.
- Rev B
Bring the conversation in
Forward or Bcc vendor mail to it, import a WhatsApp chat, or log a call in a line.
- Rev C
Confirm what went out
Say which drawing revision you sent. The ledger shows what each vendor has seen and flags anyone on an old rev.
- Rev D
Compare the quotes
Price, lead time, Incoterms, tooling and exclusions, side by side against what you asked for.
Your drawings stay with you.
Quotebook keeps the record of who was sent what. It does not keep the files.
What Quotebook keeps
- From the project mail you forward: sender, date, subject and the facts it states (price, lead time, revision), each with the short quote it came from.
- Call notes you log, as you wrote them.
- For each attachment, its file name, revision and a fingerprint.
- The vendors and contacts you enter, and the state of each request.
- Your name and email address from Google sign-in, nothing else.
What it never keeps
- The message text of an email or WhatsApp chat, once its facts are taken.
- The attachment itself. A drawing is fingerprinted, then the file is dropped.
- Tracking pixels, advertising or analytics scripts.
- Anything sold or shared outside your workspace.
Cloudflare hosts Quotebook and its database. Amazon SES sends your vendor requests. Anthropic reads a quote only when you ask it to. Read the privacy page for the details.
Fair to your vendors, too.
When you ask, a vendor gets one email with one bounded request: confirm a drawing revision, or reply to one RFQ.
- No login and no account for the vendor.
- Replies go straight to you.
- At most one reminder.
- Every email carries a stop link, honoured at once.
Completely free.
No card, no trial, no catch. Quotebook is in its launch phase and growing, so it is free while we build it with the people who use it.
