The problem

A PDF looks the same on screen whether it will cost $2 or $20 to print.

Many print shops charge more for color pages than for black-and-white ones. But a single colored logo or chart makes a page “color,” and that is difficult to spot by scrolling through a long document.

PrintQuote counts the color, grayscale, black-and-white, and blank pages for you, then applies your rates, so you know the estimated cost before you hand a file to anyone.

Frequently asked questions

Is the result a real quote from a print shop?

No. PrintQuote calculates an estimate using the page counts it finds and the rates you enter. Actual prices come from the printing company, and may include paper, finishing, minimum charges, or other fees that you would need to add yourself.

Are my PDF files uploaded anywhere?

PDF analysis happens locally on your Android device. The app does not upload your PDF documents to a remote processing server. The privacy policy describes the app’s data practices in full.

How much does PrintQuote cost?

The free version analyzes PDFs up to 10 pages. Pro is a one-time $4.99 purchase through Google Play that removes the 10-page limit. There is no subscription.

What does PrintQuote detect in a PDF?

It analyzes pages and classifies them as color, grayscale, black-and-white, or blank, and shows the page counts and results. You then apply your own printing rates to calculate an estimated cost.

Which devices does it run on?

PrintQuote is an Android app.
