An estimate is an approximate price of a service or product. A given estimate is generally based on material costs, labor costs, and other details. 

On forms.app, you can easily create an online form to automatically show a price estimate upon data entry.

While quotes and estimates refer to similar matters, they have slightly different meanings:

An estimate is an educated guess for a price based on work details, such as required labor, duration, and materials. On the other hand, a quote refers to an exact price for a service or product. 

An estimate and an invoice have a few, yet important differences. An estimate refers to an approximate price proposal for a service given before the job gets started. In contrast, an invoice is a bill for clients to pay once the job is started or finished.
