AutoQuote3D vs Phasio

Phasio wants to run the whole shop: quoting, production, and the books, across additive, CNC, and molding. AutoQuote3D is narrower. Customers upload a print file, get a price from your rules, and pay. You manage the order from there. If you need shop-floor terminals and ISO traceability in the same system as CNC quoting, that is their pitch. If you need a quote widget and a dashboard for a print service, that is ours.

They are selling a different size of product

Phasio’s homepage is an operating platform. Quote the part, schedule the work, inspect it, invoice it. AutoQuote3D is the front of a print shop: upload, price, pay, track the order. You can grow into our API and assistants from there. You do not get operator terminals or AS9100 packs from us, and we do not pretend otherwise.

That width is useful if you machine, mold, and print, or if a customer audit needs every station logged. It is a lot if you just want people to stop emailing STLs and waiting for a number.

The price gap is not subtle

Phasio’s Pro plan is $1,000 a month billed annually. Factory Floor is a conversation. AutoQuote3D starts at $25, with a free shop setup and a 14-day plan trial when you turn on payments. If you need their shop-floor and multi-process stack, that price may make sense. If you need a quote widget and a dashboard for a print service, it probably does not.

They let you try Pro without a credit card. We let you set up a shop and quote a part before you pay. Run the same job through both and look at the invoice you would actually pay.

Both can connect an assistant

Both products support MCP (Model Context Protocol), the standard way to let Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI assistant work in your shop account. The difference is what the assistant can do once it is connected.

Phasio's changelog describes an assistant that reads your setup: pricing, shipping, taxes, documents, workflows, and customer-specific prices. It flags setup problems that could block quoting, checkout, or production, and it can draft pricing equations that only go live after you approve them in Phasio.

Connected through MCP, AutoQuote3D also handles day-to-day jobs: it can build a quote from model files and send it, and look up orders, customers, materials, machines, and analytics. Install it from Claude's connector directory or as a ChatGPT plugin. You approve read and write access separately, so it can look without changing anything. Try the job you actually want on each product.

What AutoQuote3D costs

You can set up a shop and try a quote without paying. Taking customer payments needs a plan or the 14-day trial. We do not take a cut of orders. Stripe still charges their processing fee.

Starter
$25
USD per month
For one-person shops quoting up to 50 jobs a month.
Professional
$50
USD per month
For growing shops that need unlimited quotes and their own branding.
Service Bureaus
$175
USD per month
For teams managing two businesses, add-ons, and faster support.

The 14-day trial starts when you check out for a subscription, which needs a payment method. Cancel before it ends if you do not want to be charged. See the full plans, limits, and annual billing.

Before you switch

  1. Quote a typical 3D print job in both products with your real materials and margins.
  2. If you need CNC, molding, or shop-floor terminals, try those on Phasio. We do not do them.
  3. If you want Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor working on your shop, connect each product's assistant and give both the same task. Ours installs from Claude's connector directory or as a ChatGPT plugin. Phasio announces theirs in its changelog; ask them for setup steps.

Don't take your public quote link down while you test. Price a real job and finish an order first. For AutoQuote3D setup, see our tutorials or talk to us about your shop.

Common questions

Is AutoQuote3D a Phasio alternative?

For a 3D print shop that wants online quoting and orders, yes. Not if you need CNC, molding, shop-floor terminals, and audit trails in one platform.

Does Phasio have an API or AI?

Yes. They publish a REST API and webhooks, and their changelog documents MCP, which lets Claude or ChatGPT read your Phasio setup and draft pricing equations you approve. AutoQuote3D has a public REST API and MCP too, as an official Claude connector and ChatGPT plugin. Ours can also build and send quotes and look up orders, with read and write access approved separately.
