What went in

What the work is
Wedding photography in Yorkshire, September next year. Full day from bridal prep about 10am through to first dance around 9pm. Two locations, the church and a barn venue 20 minutes away. About 90 guests. They want a second shooter for the ceremony. Edited images in an online gallery, around 400 to 600. They asked about an album but have not decided. Travel is about 90 minutes each way.
Your price
1,850 for the day including the second shooter and the gallery. Album would be 450 extra for a 40 page book. 400 deposit to hold the date.

Quote

Full-day wedding coverage for September, from bridal prep at 10am through the first dance around 9pm, across the church and the barn venue 20 minutes apart. A second shooter covers the ceremony so both angles get caught, and you get 400 to 600 edited images in an online gallery. The day comes to 1,850, with a 400 deposit to hold your date and the balance due closer to the wedding. A 40-page album can be added for 450 if you decide you want one. Travel is included. To lock in the date, send the deposit and I'll confirm the booking in writing. This quote is valid for 30 days.

When to use it

Use this when someone has asked what it would cost and you want to send something clearer than a number in an email. It turns rough scope notes into a quote with the inclusions and, just as importantly, the exclusions written down, which is where most disputes actually start.

Common questions

Why does it list exclusions?
Because almost every scope dispute is about something nobody wrote down. Stating that extra hours, extra albums and reshoots are not included costs you nothing at quote stage and saves an argument later, when the client genuinely believed it was covered.
What if I do not have a final price?
Leave the price box empty or give a range and it produces the scope without committing you to a number. That is often the right move when the work depends on decisions the client has not made yet, and it is better than guessing low and revising up.
How is this different from the proposal tools?
A quote answers "what would this cost". The Freelance Proposal Writer wins a project by explaining your approach as well as your price. The Statement of Work Writer comes after agreement and is precise enough to hold up if there is a dispute. Sending a full proposal to someone who asked for a number is overkill.
Why does this cost 2 credits?
It returns a written quote plus separate inclusion and exclusion lists, and can generate a full proposal from the same scope afterwards. It needs an account, because it costs 2 credits per run and the free daily runs only cover one-credit tools. New accounts start with free credits and every plan renews monthly.
