Instant quote is right for most jobs. Use a custom quote for bulk volume, unusual service mixes, or when Path needs to review samples first. You don’t need a Pro plan to request one — open Get your custom quote anytime.
After you’ve submitted or received quotes, Quotes appears in the sidebar so you can reopen them. Until then, use the custom quote link above or stick with instant pricing.
Instant vs custom
Use instant quote when…
- Services and image count fit self-serve pricing
- Turnaround options in the wizard work for you
- You want the fastest path to payment
Use a custom quote when…
- High volume or bulk edits
- Instant pricing doesn’t cover the brief
- Samples need review before pricing
Custom quotes are often ready in about 30 minutes during business hours. When yours is ready, open it from Quotes (or your email), confirm settings, and pay — that turns the quote into an order.
