In some cases, it means a great deal how you word your proposal to a client. Calling your proposal an estimate, job quote or statement of work (SOW) can mean different things to the client, and to the law. As estimate is a "guestimate" or an approximation. Estimates are flexible and in most cases, negotiable.A quote provides your client with an exact price for the job or project. Quotes are exact, and in some cases, more legally binding than an estimate.A Statement of Work seeks to define liabilities, responsibilities and work agreements between two parties. It allows you to manage expectations and add a layer of detail about what the project will and will not cover.Freshbooks - Quote vs Estimate Your Traderbase - Estimate vs QuoteBradley Gross does a much better job of explaining these than I do.
