What Users Say About fotoQuote Pro®
"Wow, I just took a look at the new version of fotoQuote Pro 6, this is really up-to-date and covers a lot of current questions like video and assignment fees, excellent!
I teach several workshops throughout the year and students will make their money back on one assignment using this software! I'll spread the word"

"I recently did some extensive number crunching with FotoQuote to license a single image for web use. The quote I gave the client was $1400-$2200, which seemed really high to me, but they agreed to $1850, and didn't even try to negotiate down, which is very rare when licensing images. Without fotoQuote Pro 6, I would have been lost.
The software contains lots of tips and case studies to really help you think about your own situation and come up with the subjective assessments that are necessary in commercial/editorial work. It's $150 well, well spent!."
Jamie Pflughoeft, Photographer, WA
"I just upgraded to the new fotoQuote Pro 6 this afternoon and it is amazing! I have been using fotoQuote since version one came out around 14-15 years ago and the newest version has so many new features it is awesome. There is much more here than just the pricing. Go. Get it. NOW!
If you are a photographer you must have this software installed on your computer. This thing will pay for itself many times over. All of us need help, and fotoQuote offers more to help a freelance photographer than anything else I know.
I have been using fotoQuote for almost 15 years and could not run my business without it. It is important for all of us to hold the line on pricing. Buy fotoQuote and invest in yourself. If you do not believe in yourself as a photographer no one will. We all need to start believing in ourselves and standing up for what is right at one time in our professional lives. Make this the day some of you start."

"This past year I licensed a picture to a major textbook publisher. I happened to be on my way out the door in a rush, and named a fee without much thought.
Had I done it right and taken a few extra minutes to calculate the intended space usage and print run I could have pulled in another $150 and not made myself look cheap. What's the right way? Be educated in what the current market is paying for space rates, frequency, etc. and stick to your guns every time.
The $150 I blew on that quote would have easily paid for fotoQuote Pro. It's an easy to use program that takes every bit of the guesswork out of picture licensing and assignment photography pricing. Trust me on this one this software should be on every photographer's hard drive. It'll save you from headaches, and put more money in your pocket."
David Honl, Photographer, Turkey
"FotoQuote already helped me negotiate a stock sale for five photos, raising the bar from the offered budget of $350 per photo to $600 per photo, so it has already more than paid for itself."
Louise Gubb, Photographer, South Africa
"Any photographer who plans to sell, dreams of selling or has been selling photography for years could benefit from fotoQuote."
Outdoor Photographer Magazine
"A great value and shouldn't be missed... no book can match it. Simple to use and fast, it's a must have at any price."
Jack Neubart, Photo District News
"I think I paid around $200 (including fotoBiz) for the software and I collected almost $1500 for an Internet use thanks to you folks - you do the math. There have been the expected benefits but I just had to share this last one with you."
Alan Ackoff, Photographer, NM
"You have managed to simplify the time-consuming, and sometimes complicated process of giving quotes to editors and publishers, and narrowed it down to a couple of minutes."
Paul K. Trace, Photographer NJ
"Congratulations: the business of stock photography is all the better thanks to your efforts."
David Bull, Photographer, LA
"Before I had fotoQuote I never knew exactly how much to charge for anything outside of my regular line of work, but now if I get a request to bid on something new, I feel confident that the fotoQuote software will give me a fair price to quote. My clients feel more comfortable with the pricing, since it comes from a program that lots of other photographers are using, and I know I won't be way too low or too high."
Sara Matthews, Photographer, NY
"I had called another photographer to get an idea on how to price images for a calendar usage. The first thing he said was "Get FotoQuote!" So I have him to thank for introducing me to your software."
Susan Slotter, Photographer, NM
"Thank you so much. I look forward to using the new software. I couldn't feel luckier that this program was created. Thanks to the creators of the program for making starting a career easier!"
Michelle Mercurio, Photographer, NY
"FotoQuote doesn't simply offer a recommended price. The manual offers an introduction to the complexities of pricing and negotiating and offers a lot of good, basic business sense. The integrated help includes a feature called the Coach. This provides a number of suggestions valuable to both the beginner and someone savvy on pricing services who needs more business advice. Throughout the software, additional Coach screens provide guidance and include some interesting interview extracts from working professionals."
Wayne A. Munn, ASPP, Latent Images review, IL
"I just loaded fotoQuote into the computer. IT'S GREAT! Had it running in less than 5 minutes."
Jim Cavanuagh, Photographer, NY
"I'm the kind of shooter that can use all the help he can get with the business end of photography. ... FotoQuote gives me the ability to respond in a timely and confident manner... Thanks for the help where it is most needed."
Joel Sacket, Photojournalist, WA
"Producing the stock photographs has been the easy part; knowing what to charge for them has been the tough part. The first time I used fotoQuote I quoted a price that was double my 'good guy' fee and the client thought he was getting a super deal. It doesn't get any better than that."
Dave Thurber, Photographer, CA
"FotoQuote has been the most valuable purchase I've made recently, short of a camera."
Debra Ferguson Southern, Images, MS
"By using your additional insertion formula #1 we were able to invoice an extra $220 the day after we installed fotoQuote."
Jeff Schultz, Alaska Stock Images, AK
"The new fotoQuote makes Cradoc the modern-Day Gutenberg, for they have revolutionized photographic communication. FotoQuote keeps our studio on the same page with clients, reduces ambiguity and increases our exposure and income. And to think; it is something money can buy! Thanks for the contribution to our photographic efforts."
Said Nuseibeh, Photographer, CA
"FotoQuote is the number one program to help photographers gain a clear picture of how to price their photographic images. A must have for every photographer."
Jean Ferro, Photo Artist/President, Women In Photography
"Thanks so much for your time and presentation. Our students really get a lot from those who come to speak to them. The value of FotoBiz and FotoQuote is unbeatable as a learning tool and to create a professional appearance."
Bill Robbins, Instructor/Brooks Institute, CA
"I've got a copyright lawsuit we are working on against a 12.8 billion dollar company (my images are registered before publication with the LOC) and my lawyer suggested that I upgrade to FQ 5.0 (which I was planning on doing) as so many photographers regard it as the standard. It's really great to include real numbers in a quote when there is documentation to back it up, along with fellow photographers that will testify to those numbers if need be."
Dan Coogan, Photographer, AZ
"I just negotiated a $4k sale in about an hour this morning!! Wouldn't have happened without your excellent software. Looking forward to more sales like that."
John Connell, Photographer, CA
