Quoterite vs
Curtain Quote System
It looks like a standalone curtain quoting tool. It's actually BlinQ wearing a different name. Here's what you're really signing up for — honestly, scored.
Quoterite9.0 /10
Curtain Quote System3.1 /10Scored 0–10 across 15 dimensions from a hands-on review of both platforms, August 2026. Fair both ways — see the full scorecard.
Curtain Quote System (curtainquotesystem.com) presents itself as a dedicated curtain quoting tool — automated fabric meterage, dual calculation modes, S-Wave/eyelet/pinch-pleat styles and live price estimates. What the site doesn't say up front: it's a lead-generation microsite for BlinQ. The page footer carries the BlinQ Software trademark of New Multimedia Pty Ltd, the phone numbers match BlinQ's, the testimonials are from BlinQ customers, and the contact form promises a demo of 'BlinQ'. The domain was registered in June 2025.
That means the product you'd actually be buying is BlinQ — an established Australian quoting platform with real curtain-calculation depth, but also the caveats we cover on our BlinQ page: software layers that stopped getting security fixes years ago, seat minimums that push the real entry price to $450/month, a mobile experience that's a website shortcut rather than an app, and no AI. We score it here as what it is.
Everything below is based on the Curtain Quote System site, BlinQ's published pricing and our hands-on review of BlinQ's live software as of August 2026. If you're from BlinQ and something is out of date, contact us and we'll correct it. Quoterite pricing matches our public pricing page.

The company behind it (BlinQ, founded 2012) is established with claimed 1,000+ users; the Curtain Quote System brand itself is a June-2025 shell.
What each platform is actually built on and where it runs — observed from public information and hands-on review as of August 2026.
| Quoterite | Curtain Quote System | |
|---|---|---|
| Software stack | Hand-built in Kotlin on PostgreSQL — a modern, strongly-typed codebase written specifically for the window covering industry. No bought-in admin templates, no drag-and-drop app-builders, no end-of-life runtimes anywhere in the stack. | = BlinQ: EOL PHP 7.1 / 5.6 |
| Hosting & servers | Amazon Web Services (AWS) — auto-scaling cloud infrastructure that grows capacity automatically with demand, with data continuously backed up and replicated across two separate geographic regions. No single rented server anywhere in the architecture. | = BlinQ: single Plesk VPS, no CDN/WAF |
| Login & auth | Modern authentication, actively patched, with role-based permissions throughout — and nothing sensitive exposed under the same passive security profiling we run on every competitor. | = BlinQ: home-made sessions |
| Mobile | Purpose-built iOS, Android and web apps designed for in-home quoting — with Bluetooth laser-measure integration and voice notes, working the way salespeople actually work on the road. | = BlinQ: web shortcut |
| Updates | Continuous delivery — improvements ship almost daily to every customer at once, with no versions to install and no per-customer copies to maintain. | Marketing active; no product record |

A fair look at Curtain Quote System
No vendor-bashing here — Curtain Quote System does real things well. Both lists below come from public information as of August 2026.
Where Curtain Quote System is genuinely strong
The underlying BlinQ engine has genuine curtain-calculation depth: dual modes, auto meterage, fullness and hem logic.
An established Australian vendor (BlinQ, founded 2012) stands behind it.
Published per-licence pricing on the main BlinQ site.
A free trial exists (terms differ between the two sites).
Worth weighing up
Curtain Quote System is a lead-generation microsite for BlinQ — the footer trademark, phone numbers and testimonials are BlinQ's (observed Aug 2026).
The microsite publishes no pricing and no company information; the domain was registered June 2025.
Trial terms contradict each other: the microsite says no credit card needed; blinq.com.au says a card is required.
Everything on our BlinQ page applies: out-of-date software layers, one rented server, seat minimums, shortcut-style mobile, no AI.
What makes Quoterite different
Built for window covering retailers who are flat out — so the software frees you up instead of adding another system to babysit.
AI that actually works today
An AI quote checker, AI price-list ingestion, Talk-to-Text voice quoting, AI meeting summaries and AI-drafted client emails — live in the product now, not a roadmap.
The whole supply chain, one platform
Retail quoting, a full manufacturing ERP, wholesale dealer portals and made-to-measure ecommerce — few vendors in this industry do even two of these.
Fully digital manufacturing
A screen at every workstation, dependency-driven process flows, live scheduling, BOM and machine integrations — whiteboards and paper worksheets replaced with a live production system.
Any device, on the road
Quote on site from an iPad, tablet or phone — with laser-measure integration and voice notes so measurements and quotes are done before you leave the driveway.
Global, like few others
Live across Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK and South Africa — any language, any currency, any tax. Very few vendors in this industry can say that.
Done-for-you onboarding
Send us your price lists and data — we build, configure and maintain it for you. Most businesses are live in 1–2 weeks, and billing only starts at go-live.
Month-to-month, no contracts
No lock-in. If Quoterite isn't earning its keep, you can leave.
Installers are free
Installer seats cost nothing — your fitters see jobs, measurements and schedules free.
