**The product.** Web software for German and Austrian tradespeople (Handwerker) in businesses of 1 to 10 people. The user speaks a job description or a room measurement into the phone on the building site; the software turns it into a quote with items from the user's own price catalog, and later into an invoice, an electronic invoice (XRechnung or ZUGFeRD) and a DATEV export for the tax adviser. It also has a planning board, time tracking, customer signatures and sending by WhatsApp or email.

**Why it worked.** German tradespeople must soon send electronic invoices to business customers, and many still write quotes in Word or Excel in the evening. AngebotFIX lets them dictate the quote on site and sells this at a lower price than the established trade software, with the founder answering support questions himself by WhatsApp.

Evidence grades: A = disclosed by a public company, a filing or a payment processor, or verified by one; B = two or more independent reports agree, or a journalist confirmed it; C = a founder claim that no one else verified; D = reported, not verified: one founder claim or a third-party estimate with no second source; E = no revenue figure found, so the headline is a non-money fact and the other facts carry their own grades; calc = computed on this page from graded facts.

## Summary

AngebotFIX is quote and invoice software for Handwerker, the German word for skilled tradespeople such as painters, electricians and carpenters. The user dictates a job or a Aufmaß, the on-site measurement of rooms and surfaces that a quote is priced from; OpenAI's Whisper model turns the speech into text, and the software builds a quote from the user's own price list. The company's own description says that quantities from room sizes are computed by fixed program code, not by the AI.

Jan Angrick, who calls himself "Gründer & Entwickler" (founder and developer), runs it from the Münsterland region of Germany; the site's description file gives 2024 as the founding year. The home page lists two plans, Starter and Pro, at prices the company states as 12.90 and 29.90 euros a month, with a 30-day free trial.

No revenue figure, user count or customer count was found. The evidence is grade E: a live product with published prices, the founder's legal notice and the company's own pages.

## Pricing

AngebotFIX prices on 5 November 2026, from the company's home page, converted from euros at the US Federal Reserve H.10 rate of 30 October 2026, 1 euro = US$1.1163 (grade C for the prices)

| Plan | Per month, billed yearly (US$) | Per month, billed monthly (US$) | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 12.08 | 14.40 | 1 user, 5 AI requests a month, quotes, invoices, e-invoices, customers |
| Pro | 26.97 | 33.38 | 1 user, 100 AI requests a month, all functions |
| Extra user |  | 11.05 | per user per month |
| 100 extra AI credits | 11.05 one-time |  | when the monthly quota is used up |

The company states the prices as 12.90 euros a month for Starter (129.90 euros a year) and 29.90 euros a month for Pro (289.90 euros a year). Each plan includes one user; each further user costs 9.90 euros a month. 100 extra AI credits cost 9.90 euros when the monthly quota is used up. No setup fee, cancel monthly, 30 days free without a credit card. The founder charges no VAT under the German small-business rule, so these are final prices for now.

How to read this table: a grade C value is a statement on the company's own pages. A grade A value comes from an official text (German law, the US Federal Reserve). A "calc" value was computed on this page. No value is a money outcome.

## When did AngebotFIX launch, and how did it grow? Timeline

From a founding in 2024 to a two-plan product with voice input, AI features from OpenAI and an electronic-invoice function, in about two years. Each entry carries its grade.

- **2024** (grade C [3]): AngebotFIX is founded, according to the company's own description file.
- **24 May 2026** (grade C [4]): Date of the data processing agreement with OpenAI named in the privacy policy, which covers text generation and Whisper speech transcription.
- **May 2026** (grade C [4]): Privacy policy version 2.1 lists Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, Resend and OpenAI as service providers.
- **June 2026** (grade C [6]): The company's comparison page with ToolTime gives competitor prices as of June 2026.
- **5 November 2026** (grade C [1]): The site is live with the Starter and Pro plans, a 30-day free trial and a voice measurement function.

## Why did AngebotFIX work?

### Voice input on the building site

The user speaks the job or the room measurement into the phone. Whisper turns speech into text, and the software matches work items and materials from the user's own catalog.

### Plain code for quantities

The company says that areas and quantities from room sizes are computed by fixed rules for each trade, not by the AI. The AI writes item texts and proposes the quote structure.

### A low price against established trade software

Its own pages compare it with ToolTime, Craftnote, Craftboxx and openHandwerk and present itself as the cheaper option for one-person businesses.

### Pages for each trade and each competitor

The site has pages for 13 trades, for alternatives to six products and for switching from nine older programs, and its robots.txt invites AI crawlers. No source says how many customers came this way.

## How it was built

These details come from the company's own pages: the home page, the llms.txt description file and the privacy policy. They are grade C.

- Progressive web app: a website that installs on a phone like an app, with real-time sync between devices.
- OpenAI API for text generation and Whisper for speech transcription, under a data processing agreement dated 24 May 2026.
- An assistant that the company calls RAG-based: it searches the user's own data and the current screen before it answers.
- Vercel for hosting, Supabase for login and the database, Stripe for payments, Resend for transactional email.
- Electronic invoices in XRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats and an export for DATEV, the accounting system that many German tax advisers use.

## Who tried this before AngebotFIX, and why did they fail?

Two companies in our database of failed startups tried to make work with tradespeople and contractors digital. The values below are from that database and are not independently verified.

The failed startups come from our database of dead startups, retold here in our own words; Its entries are AI-assisted summaries of public sources, so they carry no evidence grade.

### Pro.com (2014 to 2020; funding US$60.8M; cause: Competition)

- Promise: Home renovations with transparent prices and matched contractors.
- Why it died: It could not scale a service that needed many people in a crowded market of better-known rivals.
- Record: 

### Kaodim (2014 to 2022; funding US$17M; cause: Unit Economics)

- Promise: A marketplace that connected homeowners with local contractors through quotes.
- Why it died: It charged contractors for leads that did not turn into jobs, and providers left.
- Record: 

## What changed

Both predecessors were marketplaces that tried to stand between the homeowner and the tradesperson, and both needed large teams and venture money. AngebotFIX does not find jobs for anyone: it sells a tool to the tradesperson, who keeps his own customers.

Two things are newer. Speech recognition such as Whisper is now good enough that the company sells dictated quotes and says its voice input understands strong dialects and site noise, and German law makes electronic invoices to business customers compulsory in steps up to 2028, which pushes small businesses off Word and Excel. A single developer can build on rented services for hosting, login, payments and AI.

## Can one person copy AngebotFIX now?

**Verdict: Yes, for a developer who knows one trade and one country's rules.**

The method needs little money: take one profession that still writes documents by hand, use speech input where the work happens, keep the arithmetic in plain code, and follow a legal deadline that forces a change of software.

1. Pick a trade or profession with a paperwork deadline set by law, such as e-invoicing.
2. Let users dictate on site and match the text against their own price list.
3. Compute quantities and prices in plain code; use the model only for text.
4. Write one page for each trade and each competitor that buyers compare.

**What is still open.** Other countries with e-invoicing deadlines for small businesses, and other trades that price work from site measurements: gardeners, cleaners, removal companies.

## What could go wrong for AngebotFIX?

- **What is not verified.** No revenue figure, user count or customer count was found. I looked for a payment-processor profile, founder interviews, press, an app store page and a startup directory entry; two web searches returned nothing about the product, and the Internet Archive answered 429 (too many requests). The Impressum says the founder is a small business under § 19 UStG; that section of German VAT law, as published on gesetze-im-internet.de, allows this only when total turnover did not exceed 25,000 euros in the previous calendar year and does not exceed 100,000 euros in the current one. This is a legal upper limit for all of the founder's business, not a figure for AngebotFIX. A reader could look for a later interview, a customer count or a payment-processor profile.
- **Testimonials.** The home page shows three testimonials under the heading "Was echte Handwerker sagen" (what real tradespeople say) (translation): a painting business in Borken, a master carpenter and a painter in Erle, all in the founder's region. The master carpenter has the founder's family name and gives the same town as the Impressum; the page does not say whether the two are related. A web search suggested a carpentry business of that family name in that town, but I did not download a page that confirms it, and I found no independent page about the other two businesses. The testimonials do not look like stock text, but they are not verified.
- **Competition.** The company's own comparison pages name ToolTime, Craftnote, Craftboxx, openHandwerk, Lexoffice and sevDesk. Its ToolTime page, with prices as of June 2026, says ToolTime starts "ab ca. 79 € im Monat (Solo)" (from about 79 euros a month for one user) (translation). These are vendor-written comparisons; I did not check the competitors' own pages. Several of these products are larger companies with sales staff, which AngebotFIX says it does without.
- **Dependence on model providers and other services.** Text generation and speech transcription both run on the OpenAI API, and the privacy policy says the data is not pseudonymized before it is sent. Hosting is on Vercel, login and data on Supabase, payments on Stripe. A change in OpenAI's prices, terms or EU data rules would reach the product directly, and German buyers who want data kept in the EU may ask about these US providers.
