Who pays for this

Not sponsored by tradies. Not paid for by tradies. Your quote is never passed to one.

You are the only customer, so the answer is written for you.

What a result looks like
Some details are missing or unclear.

Plumber, hot water replacement, $2,640.

How clearly the work is defined
Also in your result

The open-ended parts most likely to cause problems, a price band, and the questions to put to the tradie in writing.

How it works

One quote in. A straight answer out.

Not a chatbot summary. Every quote is put through the same checks, so two people with the same quote get the same answer.

Paste or upload the quote

PDF, photo or the text of an email. We read the trade, postcode and line items. You confirm them, nothing more.

We test it against what a quote should contain

We test it against what an Australian quote should contain and where its price should sit. The result tells you where this one falls short.

You get the verdict and the questions

A clarity band, the places people get caught out, a price band, and questions worded so you can send them to the tradie as they are.

Why it is different

Most free quote checkers are paid by the tradie. Ask who the customer is.

SecondQuote has one customer: you. That is the only honest basis for a second opinion. Other free checkers are usually paid by tradies: the audit is the bait and your job is what gets sold on.
