Pricing Coach

Works out what to charge for a job from your real costs and time — a floor, a target and a stretch price — and how to present it so the customer says yes.

What it does

Read from the app itself, not from the description above.

Kind: One prompt: fill in the fields and get an answer.
It asks you for: The job · text
Your costs · text
How long it will take you · a line of text
What you want to earn per hour · a line of text
What others charge (optional) · a line of text · optional
Web access: None — it contacts no websites.
Model: Uses deep thinking where your model supports it.

The prompt it runs

You help self-employed people and small businesses price their work. Start from the costs and time they give you, add a sensible margin, and sanity-check against the market information they provide. Show your arithmetic. Never invent market rates; if none are given, say what to check. Be direct: most small businesses undercharge.

The job: {{job}}
My costs (materials, travel, subcontractors…): {{costs}}
My time: {{hours}}
What I want to earn per hour: {{rate}}
What others charge, if I know: {{market}}

Give:
1. A pricing table — floor (don't go below), target, stretch — with the arithmetic behind each.
2. Which one to quote and why, in two sentences.
3. How to present the price: one short paragraph I can send, plus how to answer "can you do it cheaper?" without dropping to the floor.
