Angebotsmeister is an AI quoting app for German tradespeople: speak the job on site, get positions with quantities and prices, then send a PDF quote and invoice from one record.
About Angebotsmeister
What Is Angebotsmeister
Angebotsmeister is AI quoting software for German trade businesses, built by rainmaker labs GmbH in Lich, Hesse. The company sells it as Angebotssoftware für Handwerker, and the core move is to quote by voice on site rather than type at a desk. You describe a job out loud the way you'd explain it to the customer, and the app writes service descriptions with quantities, units and prices. From there it builds a DIN 5008 PDF with your letterhead and VAT breakdown, and the same record becomes the invoice later on. That second half makes it an invoicing app for tradespeople as much as a quoting tool.
The case for it is time. Most small outfits write quotes at the desk after dinner, and the job takes 45 to 60 minutes once you count wording, quantities and price lookup. Speaking the same details on site takes a couple of minutes, and you spend the saved time checking positions instead of typing them. The company publishes a sample living room repaint, 25 square metres, that comes back as seven positions with a gross total of €1,828.53, and says the recording was a real run.
There are limits worth knowing before you sign up. Customer documents come out in German, so this fits businesses selling into the German market. Speech recognition and text writing run on AI providers in the US, while stored data sits on servers in Frankfurt. Every message stays a draft until you send it. AI quote counts are capped per plan, which becomes the deciding factor if you quote every day.
Getting Started
- Create an account on the website or install the iPhone or Android app. The free plan needs no credit card.
- Set your trade, hourly rates and material values. These feed the first price suggestions, and the dictation language is a separate setting if German isn't your first.
- Speak the job as you would describe it on site, with rooms, areas, surfaces and colours.
- Review the generated positions, fix quantities or prices, then send the PDF by email or share the customer portal link through your own WhatsApp.
- After the customer accepts, tap create invoice to carry the client and positions over, or speak an invoice for work that never had a quote.

Key features
Speech that becomes priced positions
You talk through the job and the app writes service descriptions, quantities and units from it. It also adds steps that usually belong to the work, such as masking floors and priming a wall before a finish coat. A spoken living room repaint turns into seven positions in under a minute, and each one waits for your approval.
Price suggestions with a visible source
Each price line states where it came from: calculated from your hourly rates and material values, estimated, or entered by you. Once a price history exists, suggestions come from your own earlier quotes. Edits are stored and reused, so the app moves toward your pricing rather than a market average.
DIN 5008 PDF and a customer portal
Quotes export as a PDF with letterhead, position table and VAT breakdown. Without an uploaded logo the app sets your business name as a wordmark. Customers receive the file by email and a link to a portal where they accept, decline or ask a question, and you can see who opened it. Sharing the link from your own WhatsApp works on every plan.
Spoken invoices, e-invoice and DATEV
One tap carries an accepted quote into an invoice and assigns the next number when you finalise it. Spoken invoices cover jobs that never had a quote. From the Geselle plan, invoices are ZUGFeRD 2.3 PDF/A-3 files in the EN 16931 profile, and the DATEV export arrives as an EXTF-CSV batch with SKR 03 or SKR 04 accounts. Small businesses under §19 UStG get the legal note and 0% VAT automatically.
Inbound requests turned into drafts
Forward a customer email to your business address and the app creates the client and a quote draft. Paste a marketplace request and you get priced positions plus a reply that answers the questions in the ad. Five requests a month are included even on the free plan.
Dictation in fifteen languages
The dictation language sits apart from the document language. A crew can speak Turkish, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Greek or English and still hand the customer German positions and titles. The same applies to invoices and change orders, and typing in your own language works too.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Cuts a 45 to 60 minute desk quote down to a few minutes of speech on site, with the checking step left in your hands.
- One price per business instead of per seat, plus a free plan with no card and no expiry date.
- German compliance comes built in: DIN 5008 layout, ZUGFeRD e-invoices, DATEV export with SKR 03 and SKR 04, and the §19 UStG rule for small businesses.
- Draft-first sending with automatic AI labelling under the EU AI Act means a wrong position can't reach a customer on its own.
- Multilingual dictation with German output suits crews that don't speak German among themselves.
Cons
- Documents are German only, so it's useless for a business quoting in another language market.
- AI quote caps (1 free, 50 on Geselle, 200 on Meister) push you to a higher plan as volume grows.
- Speech and text pass through US AI providers, which some clients will ask about, while stored data stays in Frankfurt.
- No public API. Integrations cover Lexware Office, sevdesk, DATEV and mail-based bookkeeping, not custom systems.
- Unusual jobs still need manual editing, because the AI works from typical trade positions.
