Who it’s for
Built for people who price their own work.
A remodel, a yard, a commission, a sprint, a launch offer. The trades look nothing alike, and the moment before the quote goes out is identical in every one of them: you name a number, and you find out much later whether it was the right one.
Pick the page that sounds like your week. Each one walks through the pricing problem in that trade and shows the part of Priscale that answers it.

Five ways in
Find the one that sounds like your week.
Contractors
You bid it on Tuesday and find out in month three whether it made money.
Profit or loss on every bid before you commit, plus the line-item estimate that ends the haggle.
Read the page 02Landscapers
The customer wants a number before you get back to the truck.
Presets that price a walkthrough on the spot, and a crew burn rate that keeps the number honest.
Read the page 03Artists
You charged a friend $15 for two hours of work and lost $4 doing it.
What the piece actually costs you, and a price you can say out loud without flinching.
Read the page 04Software developers
Your hourly rate came from a forum thread, not from your own numbers.
The minimum rate your billable hours can support, and scope written out line by line.
Read the page 05Entrepreneurs
You set the price before you knew what delivering it would cost.
Price the offer before you launch it, and track what the market really pays for it.
Read the page…and any business that quotes work.
Cleaners, photographers, welders, consultants, caterers. If you name the price yourself, the arithmetic on these pages is your arithmetic too.
What they share
Different work, the same three problems.
- You set your own prices, and nobody hands you a rate card.
- The cost of doing the work is spread across overhead, hours, and materials that never sit in one place.
- The quote goes out before anyone knows how the job actually went.
Priscale answers all three with the same hand-coded arithmetic: your overhead becomes an hourly rate, the job becomes a break-even floor, and about 30 candidate prices run from below that floor to past what the market pays, each one flagged loss, break-even, or profit. No black boxes, no AI guessing on your behalf.
Same path, whatever you sell
- Your overhead
- Becomes an hourly rate
- The job
- Becomes a break-even floor
- The market
- Becomes the going rate
- The price you send
- Sits between them
