What it is

Hovea is a freemium Android and iOS app for Australian tradespeople. Users type or speak a job description, and it drafts quote scopes, line items, and prices from their own price book. Drafts can contain guessed details, which Hovea flags for review; nothing is sent until the user taps send. The app creates branded, GST-correct quote PDFs with a business logo and ABN, sent by text or email. Quotes show subtotal, 10% GST, and total, omitting the GST line for users who are not GST-registered. Accepted quotes convert to separate invoices carrying line items and payment details. The Free plan allows five AI quotes monthly and branded PDFs. Pro costs $9.99 a month, allows 100 AI quotes monthly, removes the PDF watermark, and includes Stripe payments. Hovea says quotes, customers, and price books sync to an Australian-region backend. Job text and photos are processed by an overseas AI provider; photos are not redacted.
