What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?

A quote is normally a fixed price for the work described; an estimate is a best guess that can change. Say which one you are giving, and for how long it holds.

Is this quote template free?

Yes, with no account. The PDF carries a small BroadPaper line at the foot of the page, which BroadPaper Cloud's paid plan removes.

Can a quote become the invoice?

In BroadPaper Cloud the same spreadsheet can make both: the quote from the lines you priced, and the invoice from the same lines once the work is done.

What a clear quote usually includes

Source: Good practice

Your business name, address and contact details
The customer's name and a reference for the job
What is included — and, as usefully, what is not
A price for each part of the work, and the total
Whether prices include VAT, if you are VAT registered
How long the price is valid for
How the customer accepts it

A quote is not a VAT invoice, so HMRC's invoice rules do not apply to it. Once the work is accepted and supplied, the invoice that follows must meet them.
