For Indian interior studios
Interior design quotation software
Room-by-room quotations with GST on every line, sent as a link your client opens on their phone and approves in one tap. Built in Kochi, for studios working in rupees.
Free plan, no card. Paid from ₹499/month — priced per studio, not per seat.
What a quotation has to survive here
Most quotation tools were built for a market with different tax, different payment habits and clients who will install an app. These are the six things that decide whether a quote gets approved in India.
- GST on every line, not added at the bottom
- Each item carries its own rate. The client sees tax per line and a total that adds up, which is what stops the argument at approval.
- Room by room, the way a client thinks
- Sections per room with their own subtotals. A homeowner reads 'Master bedroom ₹57,000', not line 34 of 80.
- The client shouldn't have to install anything
- The quote is a link. It opens in WhatsApp, on any phone, with no app and no login — and they approve it in one tap.
- Excel is where the numbers already are
- Paste a BOQ straight from a spreadsheet — rows, rates and all — instead of retyping a job you already priced.
- Show the client some columns, not all of them
- Hide brands, unit rates or quantities per quotation. Subtractive only: what you hide never changes the totals.
- It has to become an invoice
- An approved quotation converts to a GST invoice, with payment milestones and a Tally export for the accountant.
Per studio, not per seat
Almost every tool in this category charges for each person you add, which means growing your team raises your software bill. Houscade charges for the studio: ₹999 a month covers everyone in it, and the free plan covers one project forever.
Questions studios actually ask
Is there free interior design quotation software?
Houscade has a free plan: one project, one person, unlimited quotations, and a public portfolio page. No card, nothing expires. Paid plans start at ₹499 a month when you outgrow one project.
Does it handle GST?
Yes. GST sits on each line rather than being added at the bottom, so the client sees tax against the item it belongs to. Approved quotations convert to GST invoices, and there is a Tally export for your accountant.
How does the client see the quotation?
As a link. You send it on WhatsApp, they open it on their phone, and they approve it with one tap. There is no app to install and no account to create — most Indian clients will not do either.
Can I move my existing BOQ across?
Paste it from Excel. Rows, rates and quantities come across so you are not retyping a job you already priced.
Is it priced per user?
No. Houscade is priced per studio — ₹999 a month covers your whole team, so hiring does not cost you more software. Most interior design tools charge per seat, which is why a five-person studio elsewhere pays several times this.
Does it work for architects too?
There is a separate mode for architecture practices. Architects charge stage fees against drawings and approvals rather than room-wise BOQs, so the workflow is different — the client still signs off from a link.
The rest of it
Look at one before you decide
The fastest way to judge quotation software is to read a quotation it produced. This is a real one, opened the way your client would open it — no signup, nothing to install.
