WIPI recommends this product to every photographer who wants to have the best possible research for pricing their photography. It's a must have program and will bring great clarity to your photography promotion and contract negotiations. One of the most frequent questions in photography relates to "HOW MUCH SHOULD I CHARGE..?" You won't have to ask anyone that question again if you invest in yourself and purchase this program. It's a great asset to photographers and image makers..! ALSO see latest version of fotoBiz and look for the special pricing on the package of both fotoBiz and fotoQuote combined.

When someone wants to use one of your photos, you don't just need a number pulled out of a hat, you need help. You need fotoQuote, the industry standard price guide for stock and assignment photography!

FotoQuote is the only source of pricing information for photographers that gives you powerful Coaching help in every one of its 218 pricing categories. FotoQuote not only helps you come up with a fair price for your image license, but also gives you the inside information you will need to help you close the sale.

Numbers by themselves don't mean anything if you can't convince your client that your image is worth what you are asking.

New Categories
There are over 80 NEW categories in this version of fotoQuote for a total of 218! If you need to find a price, you're likely to find it in fotoQuote.

Stock Pricing
Everything you need for pricing and negotiating is at your fingertips with fotoQuote. FotoQuote's Stock Coach helps you with negotiating your sales, and every one of fotoQuote's categories has a Usage Tips section full of information about the specific category you are negotiating. The rights being requested by clients are getting more complicated, and the usage tips help you stay on track with your negotiations.

Assignment Pricing
In the fotoQuote Assignment pricing you get information on assignment rates in large and small markets throughout the US. The Assignment Coach is so full of information that it's like having a pricing seminar built into the program. It also gives you negotiating suggestions on how to deal with clients who are requesting all rights to the images you make on your assignments.

Updated Prices
For this version we spent seven full months looking at every source of pricing that we could find, contacting photographers, going through the pile of notes and feedback from our customers, and scouring web sites and bulletin boards to see what kind of problems photographers were having with pricing, and what kind of solutions were being suggested to solve them.

Keep Notes for Each Category
Each of fotoQuote's main categories now has a Notes window that lets you keep multiple notes with sales information for each of your transactions in that category. You can use these notes for reference the next time you need to research the same usage.

Magazine Database
The Magazine Database has hundreds of magazines with their circulation and what they charge their clients for a full page color ad. You can use this as a reference when you are quoting a job.

Print Quotes
We have found that a printed quote with our "official" prices on it is much more likely to be accepted than a verbal quote. FotoQuote makes the preparation of these quotes a simple matter of clicking a few buttons while you are looking up your prices.

Build License Agreements
The RightsWriter™ feature helps you build your licensing agreement by selecting terms from drop down menus. The license description is added automatically to your quote before you print it.

Display Prices in International Currencies
FotoQuote quotes prices based on our research in the US, but now these prices can be displayed in international currencies; US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars, British Pounds, and the Euro.
