Three steps to an estimate your client can approve

MCPTotal€32,652.00DeadlineMay 4HolidayLabour Day
  1. Create the estimate Tasks, hours and rates, the total and tax add up by themselves
  2. Get the deadline and scenarios Dead Point counts the working days of your country by itself and skips holidays
  3. Send the link The client approves with a code from the email. Need changes? You get a new version, and the approved one stays in the history
Arrow keys: step the machine Client approved
An estimate becomes a deadline Line items add up to a total, hours to working days
A holiday moves the deadline The deadline skips the non-working day of the country and lands on the next working one
The client opens the link and approves A link with the total and the deadline, one button, a mark of approval
  1. 01 Create the estimate Line items, rates, a risk buffer. Totals and timelines update after every change, no calculator needed
  2. 02 Get the deadline and scenarios "Normal" and "crunch" are computed side by side. Dead Point suggests which one to offer the client
  3. 03 Send the link The client sees the Dead Point date, a day-by-day calendar and how to pay. They approve and pay right from the link

How to connect an agent

"Can it be faster?" You already have the answer

Usually that question means a night of recalculations. In Dead Point the calm and the forced scenario are computed in advance, with the difference in price and risk.

✓ The risk buffer is a parameter, not a vague "add 20%" ✓ A hint on which scenario to offer
Difference: +€7,920 for −9 working days . The client decides with the numbers in front of them

"estimate_final_2(3)_NEW" is no longer needed

Every "let's drop the dashboard" becomes a new version, not a new spreadsheet. You see what changed, by how many hours and how much money, and why.

✓ Version history with a per-line diff ✓ The client only sees the published version ✓ Copy an estimate in one click: a draft with the same line items, in this or another project ✓ Copy a whole project: estimates arrive as drafts, with no members or links

The client approves by link, not "let's sync on Thursday"

Instead of a 12-page attachment the client gets a page with the Dead Point date up front, a calendar from start to delivery with holidays, the scope of work and an "Approve" button. One click adds the date to their calendar.

✓ Payment details with a SEPA QR code and the amount in the account currency ✓ Page, PDF and XLSX in English, Russian, Georgian or Chinese

Estimate in hours or in points

Hours with a rate, or points on the scale your team uses: linear, Fibonacci (story points), powers of two, T-shirt from XS to 3XL. Set the team's throughput and sprint cost, and points turn into a timeline and a budget.

✓ Scales: linear, Fibonacci, powers of two, T-shirt ✓ Timeline and total from team throughput and cost

Tax is an estimate setting, not a side conversation

VAT, GST, sales tax or any other tax: any rate, on top of the price or included in it. The client sees tax as a separate line in the calculation.

✓ Any rate, or no tax at all ✓ On top or included in the price
Learn more

Client abroad? Quote in their currency

Hourly rate in dollars, state fees in lari, total in euros: each line item keeps its own currency, and Dead Point converts at the official regulator's rate. The client sees both the original amount and the conversion.

✓ A currency per line item, rate and date in the footnote ✓ Set your own rate for a specific deal

Deadlines that hold: holidays are already counted

Dead Point computes deadlines against the working-day calendar, with public holidays, weekends and observed dates. A deadline that lands on a holiday moves to the next working day.

✓ Calendars for seven countries: US, Eurozone, Georgia, Kazakhstan, China, Belarus, Russia ✓ Completion date in working days, not calendar days ✓ Authors see why a day is off when they pick the start date ✓ Clients see days off in a row in one hint

Questions people ask before signing up

What is Dead Point

A project timeline and cost estimation service for studios, agencies and freelance teams. You build an estimate from line items with rates, compute two scenarios (normal and crunch), factor in tax and the working-day calendar, and send the client a report by link instead of a spreadsheet in email.

How much does it cost

Dead Point is free. Every feature is available to everyone: estimates, scenarios, versions, password-protected links, PDF and XLSX export. There are no paid plans and no trial.

Do I need a card

No. Dead Point takes no payments, so we never ask for card details.

How does passwordless sign-in work

You enter your email and we send a one-time link. Following the link signs you in, usually in about 30 seconds. There is no password, neither for you to remember nor in our database.

Which tax regimes are supported

VAT at any rate, on top of the price or included in it, or no tax at all. Tax is computed right in the estimate, and the client sees it as a separate line in the calculation.

In which formats can I hand the estimate to a client

A link to a live report (with a password if you like), a PDF for printing and sign-offs, and an XLSX for those who only trust a spreadsheet.

What does the client see by the link

A page with the Dead Point date and a timeline calendar, scope of work, two scenarios with a recommendation, a calculation with tax, approval and payment details with a QR code. No "#REF!" and no comments in the margins.

Your client will approve the next estimate faster
