Billable CPQ
CPQ for revenue teams that sell complex services, bundles, and projects.
Tagline
Quote complex deals without the spreadsheet mess
CPQ for services teams, not product catalogs
Live in a week, not a quarter
From quote to project to invoice in one flow
The CPQ built for services and hybrid revenue, not just product catalogs.
The page repeatedly shows quote-to-project, utilization, and invoicing flows, which is a sharper wedge than generic CPQ messaging aimed at product-heavy enterprises.
An alternative to heavyweight enterprise CPQ tools that can be live in a week.
The landing page claims 'live in a week' and a flat $50/seat price, which is a direct contrast to long, expensive implementations associated with Salesforce CPQ and Conga.
Kill spreadsheet quoting, approval chaos, and quote-to-project handoff in one system.
The product’s strongest functional story is operational consolidation: configure, price, approve, sign, track, and invoice from one workflow.
Primary user
Revenue Operations leader or Sales Ops manager at a services-heavy B2B company using Salesforce
ICP #1
RevOps Manager at a 20-200 person services consultancy running deals through spreadsheets and Salesforce
Pain
Reps are assembling quotes manually, pricing is inconsistent, approvals happen in Slack/email, and once the deal closes the team rebuilds the scope in another tool.
Why this solves
Billable CPQ combines quoting, approval rules, Salesforce sync, and project tracking so the RevOps team can standardize the workflow instead of stitching together spreadsheets, docs, and CRM records.
ICP #2
Sales Ops Director at a B2B software company selling bundles, add-ons, and custom professional services
Pain
Complex deal structures make it hard to keep pricing accurate, enforce discount floors, and produce clean proposals fast enough to avoid deal friction.
Why this solves
The product’s guided selling, pricing rules, and branded proposal generation directly match the mechanics of bundled and multi-line-item deals.
ICP #3
Founder / COO of a small agency or implementation firm billing by project and time
Pain
They need one workflow for quote creation, project kickoff, utilization tracking, and invoicing, but current tools force manual handoffs and duplicate data entry.
Why this solves
Billable CPQ explicitly links quotes to live projects, budget vs. actuals, utilization, and invoices, which is unusually aligned to agency-style operations.
Strengths
- +Very clear end-to-end workflow: configure → quote → close, with project and invoicing extensions that make it feel operationally complete.
- +Strong specificity in feature naming: guided wizards, dependency rules, margin floors, Salesforce sync, Claude AI quoting, and Deal Rooms.
- +Pricing is simple and low-friction, which is a strong contrast to traditional CPQ complexity.
Weaknesses
- −The positioning is still too generic for a category with brutal competition; 'CPQ for modern revenue operations' doesn’t say why this wins versus Salesforce CPQ, DealHub, or Conga.
- −The page overloads visitors with feature inventory but under-explains the exact wedge: services firms, hybrid SaaS, agencies, or all three?
- −The 'AI-native quoting' claim is thinly supported; Claude BYOK is mentioned, but there’s no concrete before/after use case showing what the AI actually does.
- −The repeated emphasis on 'everything in one platform' risks sounding like bloated enterprise software rather than a fast, deployable product.
- −There is no visible proof: no customer logos, no case studies, no quantified implementation time, and no benchmark against incumbent CPQ tools.
Fix these
- Choose a primary wedge and say it plainly: services revenue teams, hybrid SaaS + services, or agencies/implementation firms.
- Add a competitor comparison section that shows exactly how Billable CPQ differs from Salesforce CPQ, Conga, and DealHub on setup time, quote-to-project flow, and pricing.
- Replace generic AI language with a concrete example: 'Type, 'quote 10 users, 3 add-ons, 15% margin floor' and generate the proposal.'
- Add proof assets: 2-3 customer stories, implementation timelines, and screenshots of a real quote-to-invoice workflow.
- Reframe the homepage hero around the strongest differentiator: quote-to-project-to-invoice for services-heavy revenue teams, not broad CPQ language.

Headline
Quote complex deals without spreadsheets
Built for services, bundles, projects, and hybrid revenue teams.
Turn messy offers into guided quotes
Reps can configure complex packages with dependency rules instead of building quotes by hand. That cuts errors, speeds up quoting, and keeps every deal on policy.
Protect margin before bad deals go out
Pricing rules and approval workflows enforce discount floors, thresholds, and combo logic automatically. Managers review only the deals that actually need review.
Keep sales, delivery, and finance in sync
Accepted quotes become projects, so the original scope follows the deal into delivery and billing. No more retyping line items or rebuilding work after close.
Generate clean quotes and invoices from one system
Create branded proposals, invoice from quotes or time entries, and sync closed deals back to Salesforce or HubSpot. The whole revenue workflow stays connected.
FAQ
Is this for product companies or services companies?
It is built for services-heavy revenue teams, hybrid SaaS + services businesses, agencies, consultancies, and implementation firms. If your deals are more complex than a simple SKU list, this fits.
How is this different from Salesforce CPQ?
Salesforce CPQ is powerful but usually heavy, slow to implement, and built for broader enterprise workflows. Billable CPQ is focused on services quoting, faster setup, and quote-to-project handoff.
Can reps create quotes without ops involvement?
Yes. Guided configurators and pricing rules let reps build valid quotes on their own while approvals still protect margin and exceptions.
Do you support Salesforce sync?
Yes. Billable CPQ syncs opportunities, accounts, contacts, and products back to Salesforce so your CRM stays current when deals move forward.
Can we use it for invoicing and project tracking too?
Yes. Accepted quotes can turn into projects, track utilization and margin, and generate invoices from quotes or logged time. That is the main wedge.
Spreadsheets are your CPQ today. That’s why quotes drift, discounts slip, and approvals happen in Slack. Billable CPQ replaces the mess with guided quoting, pricing rules, approvals, Salesforce sync, and quote-to-project handoff.
Most CPQ tools ignore services. Billable CPQ is built for teams selling bundles, projects, and subscriptions. Configure. Quote. Approve. Close. Then turn the deal into a project and invoice from the same system.
We built this after watching deals break in the same place every time: 1. Reps quote in spreadsheets 2. Pricing gets negotiated in Slack 3. Finance rebuilds the scope after close Billable CPQ fixes that workflow end to end.
Type one sentence. Get a quote. Example: “Quote 3 implementation packages, 12 seats, 15% margin floor.” Billable CPQ applies the rules, routes approvals, and generates the branded proposal automatically.
The fastest CPQ rollout wins. That’s the point. If your team can’t live in a week, people keep using spreadsheets. Billable CPQ is built to replace the shadow process, not add another tool nobody opens.
Discount control should not be manual. If every deal needs a Slack thread and a manager blessing, your pricing system is broken. Billable CPQ enforces margin floors and approval thresholds before bad quotes leave the building.
Salesforce is not your quoting workflow. It’s where deals live. Billable CPQ handles the messy part: configuration, pricing, approvals, proposals, and the handoff into projects and invoicing.
We kept hearing the same complaint: “We close the deal, then rebuild it somewhere else.” That’s insane. So we connected quote -> project -> time tracking -> invoice in one system.
Complex bundles need guardrails. Set dependencies, thresholds, combo discounts, and margin floors once. Then let reps quote fast without breaking pricing or sending nonsense to approval.
If your quote becomes a project, your CPQ should know that. Billable CPQ links the original deal to delivery, utilization, and invoicing so ops teams stop retyping the same scope twice.
Angle: services revenue teams need a different CPQ
Most CPQ software was built for product catalogs. That works until you sell services, bundles, implementation work, or anything with real delivery complexity. Then the process breaks in the same places: - reps build quotes manually - pricing rules live in people’s heads - approvals happen in Slack or email - the closed deal gets rebuilt in another tool That is not a quoting system. That is a chain of handoffs. Billable CPQ is built for services-heavy revenue teams. It lets reps configure complex offerings with guided wizards, applies pricing rules automatically, routes approvals based on margin or deal thresholds, and generates branded quotes/proposals. Then it does the part most CPQ tools ignore: turns the accepted quote into a project, tracks utilization and margin, and invoices from quotes or time entries. If your team sells packages, projects, add-ons, or hybrid services + subscription deals, the workflow should be one system, not five. No spreadsheets. No duplicate entry. No “we’ll fix it after close.”
Angle: why quote-to-project matters
The real cost of bad quoting is not the quote. It is everything after the quote. When sales, ops, delivery, and finance all use different systems, every deal creates extra work: A rep sends a proposal. Delivery rebuilds the scope. Finance recreates the line items. Someone asks what was actually sold. Someone else asks why margin disappeared. That is how services companies leak time and money. We built Billable CPQ around a simple idea: if the quote is approved, it should become the source of truth for delivery and billing. That means: - quote data flows into the project - utilization can be tracked against the original scope - invoices can come from the quote or logged time - Salesforce stays in sync when the deal closes This is what CPQ should do for a services business. Not just produce a PDF. Not just route approvals. It should connect revenue to delivery.
Angle: AI should do one concrete job
AI in B2B software is usually vague. “AI-powered.” “AI-native.” “Smarter workflows.” Cool. What does it actually do? For Billable CPQ, the useful version is simple: natural-language quoting. A rep can type something like: “Quote 2 onboarding packages, 15 seats, 10% volume discount, 18% margin floor.” The system applies the rules, checks approvals, and generates the quote structure from there. That is useful because it saves time without removing control. The pricing engine still enforces policy. The approval flow still protects margin. The sales team just stops clicking through 14 screens to assemble the same deal every day. I think that is the right way to use AI in revenue ops: Not magic. Not replacement. Just fewer dumb steps between intent and quote. Would love feedback from anyone running quoting, pricing, or approvals in a services-heavy team. What would save you the most time: config, pricing, or proposal generation?

CPQ for services, bundles, and projects
Description
Billable CPQ helps revenue teams configure complex deals, enforce pricing rules, route approvals, and generate branded quotes. It also turns accepted quotes into projects and invoices without rebuilding the work elsewhere.
Maker's first comment
We built Billable CPQ because the quoting process kept breaking in the same places for services-heavy teams: reps were using spreadsheets, approvals were happening in Slack, and once a deal closed, delivery had to rebuild everything from scratch. That felt backwards. If the quote is already approved, it should become the source of truth for the project and billing flow. So we built a system for the messy middle: guided configuration, pricing rules, approval routing, branded proposals, Salesforce sync, quote-to-project handoff, utilization tracking, and invoicing from quotes or time entries. The goal is not “more software.” It is fewer handoffs and less duplicate work. If you sell packages, bundles, projects, or hybrid services + subscription deals, I’d love to hear where your current workflow breaks first.
Pinned maker comment
I’d love feedback on positioning and workflow fit: does this read more like services CPQ, quote-to-project, or revenue ops software?
